Walt Disney Co. said it has formed a new hub to drive
international content creation for its streaming services.
The new group will be helmed by Disney streaming executive
Rebecca Campbell, who will report directly to Chief Executive Bob
Chapek, the company said Wednesday.
The company also said it now has 179 million total subscriptions
across Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu as of the end of fiscal 2021. Disney
plans to more than double the number of countries where Disney+ is
available to over 160 by fiscal 2023, the company said.
"Disney's direct-to-consumer efforts have progressed at a
tremendous pace in just a few short years, and our organization has
continued to grow and evolve in support of our ambitious global
streaming strategy," Mr. Chapek said in a statement.
