A few months ago, Disney announced plans to expand the service even further with the option to subscribe to a Disney+ plan with advertisements at a lower cost, which would (theoretically) allow more individuals to subscribe to the service. The service has continued to grow since its release in 2019, with estimates claiming that by the year 2026, Disney+ will have more subscribers than Netflix. Today, Disney met for the Fiscal Year 2022 Quarter 2 Earnings call, which provided some insight into how Disney+ is doing.

Disney reported that 7.9 million subscribers have been added to Disney+ this quarter. This brings the total number of subscribers to 137.7 million. This is a 33% increase since April of 2021.
