Disney Plus and Hulu may have a sequel no one asked for: Another price hike

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• Disney Plus is reportedly raising prices again, with its ad-free Premium plan jumping 13% to $21.49 per month.
• Hulu subscriptions are also reportedly getting more expensive, but the ad-supported Disney Plus and Hulu bundle will remain at $12.99 per month.
• Subscribers could be notified as early as today, September 23, though it’s unclear when the new prices will take effect.

At this point, streaming services hiking subscription prices feel like an annual tradition. Just as users have started coming to terms with Disney Plus’ last price hike, the streaming giant seems to be gearing up for another.

The development was highlighted by Bloomberg, quoting unnamed “people familiar with the matter.” According to the source, the streaming service is hiking prices across several of its Disney Plus and Hulu subscription plans, with users expected to be officially notified of the change as early as today, Wednesday, September 23.
