Shahid, Disney+ and OSN+ Launch GCC-Only Three-App Bundle With Single Billing

The alliance leverages Shahid’s regional scale to expand Disney+ reach in a market where local aggregators set the pace.

Overview

  • The bundle launches today across the GCC and is available exclusively through Shahid under a single subscription.
  • Subscribers get three services for the price of two with unified billing that simplifies account management.
  • The offer combines Disney+ franchises from Disney, FX, Hulu, Star Wars, Marvel and Pixar with Shahid’s Arabic originals and sport and OSN+ series including HBO and other international hits.
  • The companies did not disclose the bundle’s price in the launch announcement despite promoting a three-for-two value proposition.
  • Media coverage describes the pact as the region’s first of its kind and a strategic shift for Disney’s EMEA distribution to better compete with Netflix and Amazon via Shahid, MBC Group’s leading platform.
