Disney+ next month (May 2021) plans to add 41 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup, including a ‘same day’ theatrical movie premiere.
The new titles will include Cruella, the Disney original comedy/drama movie starring Emma Stone as the ruthless criminal (and fashion designer) with an obsession for dalmatians. The film will be available exclusively at home on Disney+ through its Premier Access service, which means you will have to pay $29.99 to watch it. (If you want to reduce the cost, it will debut the same day in movie theaters. However, once you purchase the movie on Disney+, it will stay in your Disney+ library so long as you stay a subscriber.)
