Disney+ Star Canada: Full list of movies and TV shows

When Disney launched its own streaming app Disney+ in November 2019, it was very selective in its content. The theme was family-focused, relying on blockbuster content from its Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic and Pixar labels. Anything considered “adult” was conspicuously absent.

Disney has plenty of great adult content, too. Especially after it acquired 20th Century Fox and its vast library of movies and TV shows. Surely, one day, Disney would drag that content off rival platforms like Crave, fuboTV and Amazon Prime Video, and offer it through the Disney+ app?

And so it has come to pass. In mid-December 2020 Disney revealed an additional channel that will join the five tentpoles listed above; it’s called Star. It will launch in Canada on 23 February 2021 and will come with a substantial price rise. The cost will leap from $8.99 a month or $89.99 a year to $11.99 a month or $119.99 a year in Canada.

Disney+ Star content highlights

The Star channel will launch on Disney+ with a heck of a lot of content. There will be 491 movies and 135 TV shows. This includes four new Star Originals, content that has been exclusively made for Disney+ and specifically for its Star channel. We will list all the content further below, but here are some of the highlight additions.

• Seven movies from the Aliens franchise
• Seven movies from the Planet of the Apes franchise
• Five Die Hard movies
• Both Deadpool movies
• Both French Connection movies
• Three of the Predator flicks
• Both Super Troopers films
• The Taken series
• Five seasons of Alias
• Fifteen seasons of American Dad
• Five seasons of Black-ish
• Nine seasons of Bones
• Four seasons of The Cleveland Show
• Six seasons of Empire
• Four seasons of Felicity
• Nine seasons of 24
• Six seasons of Glee
• Eight seasons of Homeland
• Four seasons of My Name is Earl
• Nine seasons of How I Met Your Mother
• 11 seasons of M*A*S*H
• All seasons of Sons of Anarchy
• Eleven seasons of The X-Files

As well as Academy Award darlings like Black Swan, The Last King of Scotland, The Martian, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Moulin Rouge, Wall Street, Walk the Line, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Pretty Woman and The Devil Wears Prada.

There are plenty of notable omissions as well, which will no doubt land on the service over time. This could be a tactical play by Disney, but is more likely the result of existing streaming rights deals still being in play. TV series like Grey’s Anatomy, Modern Family, Lost, Desperate Housewives, Bob’s Burgers, The Handmaid’s Tale, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Archer, Fargo and American Horror Story will likely arrive at a later date. There are also notable movies missing, including the Indiana Jones films.

Full list of Star Originals

At launch, four Star Originals will be available on Disney+ through the Star channel:

• Big Sky
• Love, Victor
• Helstrom
• Solar Opposites

Additional Star Originals announced for launch sometime in 2021 and beyond are:

• Dopesick
• The Dropout
• The Last Man
• Only Murders In the Building
• The Old Ma
• Shogun
• American Horror Stories
• New Kardashians and Jenner shows

Although not a Star Original, it’s worth noting that the first five seasons of Black-ish are coming to Star. The hit comedy has not been available for streaming in Canada previously. As such, while not an “original”, it will feel like it to many Canadians.
