Content coming to Disney+ in the UK won’t be quite the same as its US counterpart, the service reveals.
Disney+ has proved to be a big hit in the initial markets it has been released in, thanks in no small part to the very popular Star Wars series The Mandalorian. But fans in the UK have had to wait quite some time to see what all the fuss is about.
Disney+ comes to the UK on March 24th but audiences shouldn’t expect the same content as their cousins across the pond. The platform’s social media revealed: “We plan to premiere lots of content at the same time as our friends in the US. However, there will be some variation in content between countries.”

Also, even though all episodes of The Mandalorian are now available in the US, UK fans will have to wait to watch each episode on a week to week basis. This is the same schedule that US fans experienced when the show first premiered.

Were you hoping to have the entire first season of The Mandalorian available at once? Or do you prefer it on a weekly basis? Let us know in the comments below and on social media @flickeringmyth…
After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. The series depicts a lone bounty hunter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.
Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones) leads the cast of The Mandalorian, alongside the likes of Gina Carano (Deadpool), Carl Weathers (Rocky), Nick Nolte (Afflication), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok) and Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man).
