(CNN) – Disney’s streaming services are about to get a little more expensive.
The media company announced price hikes across the board for its services Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+.
Beginning October 17, U.S. subscribers to Disney+ will have to pay $2 more per month for its plans.
Meanwhile, Hulu’s ad-supported plan will also increase $2 a month, and its ad-free plan will rise by $1. ESPN+ will also increase by $1 per month.
The bump in prices comes in a deeply uncertain environment for media companies.
They are facing rapidly changing consumer behavior, rising costs of doing business, a revitalized labor movement in Hollywood, and harsh regulators that are skeptical of mergers.
Along with the price hikes, Disney said it would also add new features to Disney+.
Ahead of the 2024 Presidential Election, all Disney+ subscribers will get access to ABC News Live and a continuous playlist of content aimed at preschool-aged kids.
