Bad news for Canal+ subscribers: a streaming giant is leaving

ByLeila November 6, 2024

Disney+ will no longer be available in the Canal+ subscription, and Disney films will no longer be visible six months after their release.

Subscribers to Canal+, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this week, will lose a huge advantage at the end of the year. “ From January 1, 2025, Canal+ customers will no longer be able to watch our new films, nor access Disney+ (included in certain offers) nor our television channels via their subscription. », Declares the channel to AFP. All Canal+ offers which included the Disney streaming platform will therefore be cut in a few weeks. And the agreement between Canal and the Burbank firm on the broadcast of Disney films six months after their theatrical release will no longer hold. Unless there is an agreement with free-to-air or private channels, you will now have to wait 17 months – in accordance with the media chronology – to find Disney films on Disney+.

Gérald-Brice Viret, general director of channels and programs for the Canal+ group, wants to reassure and ensures that Disney+ represents “ a fairly marginal consumption of our subscribers (…) We are not safe from meeting again one day. » Christophe Pinard-Legry, general manager of Canal+ France in charge of business, explains this break between the two giants: “ We have not found acceptable terms with them for our subscribers which would allow us to renew this partnership. We want to remain accessible from a pricing point of view. »
