Disney expansion in Brazilian streaming market

Overview

Disney is implementing a strategic expansion of its Disney+ presence in Brazil, focusing on both content production and subscriber acquisition.

In late 2026, the company announced plans to increase local content production, aiming to release one original Brazilian production per month starting in mid-2027. This strategy includes exploring the telenovela format to better align with local viewing habits and targeting female audiences following the success of titles like ‘Amor da Minha Vida’.

To support these efforts and increase engagement, Disney+ launched a limited-time subscription promotion in late October 2026. The campaign offered reduced monthly rates for the first two months across Standard and Premium plans, the latter of which includes access to ESPN channels. This promotional push aligns with broader corporate goals to triple the number of local original series over three years to attract users and reduce churn.
