The Walt Disney Company breidt zijn aanwezigheid van videopodcasts op streaming uit met een nieuwe overeenkomst die verschillende populaire iHeartMedia-shows naar Disney+ en Hulu brengt. De samenwerking voegt zes titels toe aan Disney's groeiende bibliotheek van begeleidende en rewatch-podcasts.
De eerste titel onder de deal, Hey Jonas! met de Jonas Brothers, begint op 14 augustus met streamen. De serie komt net voor de première van Camp Rock 3 op Disney+. Andere shows zijn Pod Meets World, Desperately Devoted, Fake Doctors, Real Friends with Zach and Donald, StraightioLab en Thanks Dad with Ego Nwodim.
Several of the new podcasts offer retrospective looks at beloved series. Desperately Devoted revisits Desperate Housewives, while Pod Meets World explores Boy Meets World. The lineup complements existing Disney podcasts tied to programs such as American Idol and The Shards.
Fans can’t get enough of the stories and talent they love, and podcasts have become one of the fastest growing ways for audiences to connect with them. These new video podcasts from iHeartMedia bring fans closer to their favorite worlds and the creators behind them, and we’re thrilled to make them available on Disney+ and Hulu as part of an even richer streaming experience.
Podcasting continues to evolve as audiences increasingly want to engage with the shows and personalities they love in more ways and across more platforms. Disney+ and Hulu have built powerful streaming destinations with incredibly passionate fan communities, making them ideal partners to expand the reach of these beloved iHeartPodcasts.
The agreement reflects broader industry trends as both companies seek to meet viewer demand for deeper connections with entertainment properties across multiple formats and platforms.
