If you’re worried that Disney has Disneyfied Disney+ a little too much (that’s a lot of Disney), there’s good news that more adult content is coming to the wholesome streaming service. When Disney+ was first trialled, viewers were shocked to learn the House of Mouse promised not to stream R-rated content. Does that mean Deadpool will never make it onto Disney+?

After a soft launch, Disney+ has recently rolled out across America. While fans can’t get enough of streaming Aladdin, Up, and Avengers: Endgame, others have complained that it’s all a bit wholesome. Disney has always been known for promoting its family-friendly image, but all that could be about to change.

Disney+ chairman�Kevin Mayer spoke at Code Media 2019 and promised more original content for “grown ups” is coming. Mayer revealed: “We are adding more stuff that’s aimed at grown-ups. It takes lead time to create really high-quality original programming.

“We have them coming on in a cadence we think it is the right cadence that we can make sure it’s high-quality. We don’t want to rush things through just to have volume, that’s not our philosophy. We want to do fewer things better.”

Adult content doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll be getting F-bomb animations any time soon. In reality, Mayer is probably speaking about more factual shows and documentaries. If you want more Disney+ adult content, it sounds like you’re in luck.

In August, entertainment writer Eric Vespe asked if any R-rated content would land on the service. A spokesperson explained�Disney+��will all be PG-13 or softer.� When Vespe questioned if the Fox catalogue and its “harder edge” will end up on Hulu, the representative said it’s a �good assumption”.

Hulu is already poised to become the home of FX and FXX. This means the likes of American Horror Story will move to the Disney umbrella service.

Last Tuesday, Disney CEO Bob Iger said�Disney+’s subscriber numbers are still pretty small. Iger explained, �We�re still relatively small in terms of the scope of things in terms of number of subscribers.

“But I think the best way for me to characterize it would be to say that we�re enthusiastic about what we saw the consumer reaction to be,� Iger said. �We certainly feel good about the product that�s going into the marketplace next week and we�ll know a lot more in just a few days. But it was good.�

That being said, with 10 million sign-ups on the platform’s first day, I’d say things are going just fine. Well, things would be going fan if fans of The Simpsons weren’t having their episodes cut by Disney+.
