Loki: Tom Hiddleston stars in Disney+ series trailer
Star is a new arm of Disney+, allowing subscribers to watch more adult-aimed content. Drawing from Disney’s ownership of Hulu and studios like FX, 20th Century Studios and 20th Television, this will mean plenty more series will be available on the platform. Express.co.uk has rounded up a guide to what you can watch when it launches.
Which shows are coming to Star on Disney+?
Star will be launching as part of Disney+ on February 23 in the UK.
The new branch of the streaming platform joins Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, National Geographic and Disney.
However, it will double the amount of content on the platform with existing shows and new original series.
This also marks a price increase for the service from £5.99 per month to £7.99 per month or £79.90 for the whole year.
Ahead of its launch, Express.co.uk has rounded up what viewers will be getting for their money.

Billed as a Star Original series, Big Sky is one of the first new titles to launch on the channel.

US viewers were able to stream it on ABC in November 2020 but this will mark its UK premiere.
Love, Victor

The show is set in the same world as the 2018 film Love, Simon and follows another student named Victor (Michael Cimino).
Across 10 episodes, viewers watch him on his own journey of self-discovery, from family drama to exploring his sexual orientation.
Alongside Cimino, the show also stars Rachel Hilson, Anthony Turpel, Bebe Wood as Lake Meriwether and Mason Gooding.

At launch, every episode of 24 will also be available for viewers to catch-up on the Kiefer Sutherland thriller.
