One of the big updates we look forward to hearing each quarter is an update on their Disney+ subscriber count. While Disney used to provide regular updates when the streaming service was first released, those have happened less frequently over the past year. But, now we’ve got a look at where subscriptions stand right now!

As of October 2nd, 2021, Disney+ has amassed a total of 118.1 million subscribers. This is up roughly 1% compared to Q3 in which Disney+ had 116M subscribers and up by 60% compared to their subscriber count at this time in 2020.

In addition, Hulu has reached a total of 43.8M subscribers, and ESPN+ has reached a total of 17.1M subscribers, giving all three streaming services a grand total of 179M subscribers as of this writing.
