"WandaVision" is among the upcoming
high-profile series that Disney is counting on to lure new
customers to Disney+, the subscription service it launched a
year ago.
The six-hour series is the first created by Disney's Marvel
Studios specifically for Disney+. It stars Elizabeth Olsen as
Scarlet Witch and Paul Bettany as Vision, two characters that
appeared on the big screen in the blockbuster "Avengers" movies.
Disney announced in August that Disney+, a competitor to Netflix,
had signed up more than 60 million subscribers.
Other upcoming Disney+ programming includes a "Star Wars" Lego
holiday special this month and Pixar movie "Soul," which will be
released on the streaming service on Christmas Day, Dec. 25.
