Speaking during the live audio webcast of Disney’s fiscal full-year and fourth quarter 2018 financial results, Chairman and CEO Bob Iger revealed that the company would launch a new direct-to-consumer streaming service called Disney+ in the U.S. in late 2019.

According to Iger, there are a number of new series in development for the streaming service.
A Star Wars live-action series based on the adventures of Rebel spy Cassian Andor (portrayed by actor Diego Luna in 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) is being developed by Lucasfilm for Disney+ and will go into production next year. A release date will be announced in the future.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe will also be represented on Disney+. Marvel Studios is developing a series based on fan-favorite Loki, the god of mischief, which will star Tom Hiddleston.
These new projects join a slate of films and series planned for Disney+ that includes new stories set in the worlds of Disney•Pixar’s Monsters Inc. and Disney Channel’s High School Musical. Earlier this year, Lucasfilm revealed that Emmy®-nominated producer and actor Jon Favreau will write and executive produce The Mandalorian for Disney+. The live-action series, which is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order, is currently in production with a lineup of directors that include Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels) and Bryce Dallas Howard (Solemates).
