The wonderful world of Disney has just got bigger on OSN, the region’s leading entertainment network, following an exclusive long-term deal.

Opening doors to delightful Disney experiences, OSN’s subscribers in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region can now watch amazing content from the world’s leading family entertainment provider first and exclusively on their favourite network.

As the home of Disney’s first-pay movies and channels in the region, OSN will continue to offer an extensive selection of blockbuster movies, popular series and coverage of the prestigious Academy Awards through the renewed deal.

OSN will also launch a dedicated Disney-branded HD movie channel early next year, as well as the Disney Forever On Demand service in the coming months, which will include fan favourite Disney Channel classic series, OSN said.

OSN will remain the entertainment destination for the biggest blockbusters from Lucasfilm Ltd such as Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Marvel titles including Doctor Strange, Disney•Pixar films such as The Incredibles 2, as well as top quality ABC Studios shows including Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder, among others, it said.

OSN’s subscribers will get to watch the latest Disney movies on OSN’s channels more than a year before any other pay television or subscription on-demand platform in the region. OSN will also continue to broadcast some of the top ABC Studios television series.

Emad Morcos, chief content officer, OSN, said: “We are continuing to build on our strong collaboration with Disney through an even wider range of content that appeals to family and kids.
