Sky has unveiled an exciting new update that is set to grab attention. The television service provider has announced a compelling subscription package that combines several of the most popular streaming services worldwide at a reduced monthly rate. Priced at just £24 per month, both new and existing customers will soon have access to Disney+, Netflix, Hayu, and the feature-rich HBO Max app, which is scheduled to launch next month.
Describing the bundle as offering great value for money, Sky emphasizes that it includes approximately £20 worth of streaming applications for a lower cost. Considering that Sky’s current basic plan is priced at £15 per month, the additional content effectively becomes available for just an extra £9.
Moreover, subscribers to the Ultimate TV plan will enjoy access to over 130 channels, including Sky Comedy, Sky Documentaries, Sky Crime, Sky History, and more.
Another perk is that Sky Cinema users will gain a dedicated Disney movie channel integrated directly into the planner, enabling them to watch Disney blockbusters without needing to open the Disney+ app.
Existing Disney+ subscribers who sign up through Sky can seamlessly transfer their current plan, whether Standard or Premium, and retain their profiles and viewing history.
Sky has confirmed that all supported apps will be easily accessible from the homepage, with fully integrated content. This will enable users to discover shows and films through voice search and save them to a Playlist for future viewing.
The new Sky Ultimate plan will be available across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, and Sky Q platforms.
Sophia Ahmad, Sky’s Chief Consumer Officer, has expressed that this update signifies a “new era” for Sky and NOW, bringing together Sky, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hayu under a single subscription. She highlighted that customers will benefit from a unified viewing experience and unbeatable value, with HBO Max included at no additional cost for NOW Entertainment subscribers.
This move reflects Sky’s ongoing dedication to innovation, simplifying the process for viewers to enjoy premium entertainment in one consolidated platform.
Included in the update are:
– Netflix Standard with Ads
– Disney+ Standard with Ads (available from March, date to be confirmed)
– HBO Max Basic with Ads (available upon its launch in the UK & Ireland on 26th March)
– Hayu (available from July, with some top shows accessible from March)
– PLUS: Over 130 channels from Sky.
