Disney+ and ITVX have inked an agreement that brings popular Disney shows to the ITV streamer from July 16 and vice versa. That means you'll be able to watch must-see shows like The Bear for free on ITVX.
If you have a Disney+ subscription, this new deal means you'll have access to even more programmes on your existing plan with no additional charge.
"Disney are fantastic partners with a brilliant breadth of content," said Kevin Lygo, ITV's Managing Director of Media and Entertainment.
"This mutually beneficial alliance allows us to show our complementary audiences a specially selected collection of titles, regularly updating, that gives a flavour of the range in our respective offerings."

As shows begin to roll out from the deal, you will be able to watch the first seasons of The Bear, Andor, and Only Murders in the Building on ITVX. Multiple series of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, The Kardashians, Lilo and Stitch: The Series, and Phineas and Ferb are also set to be added.
ITV programmes like Mr Bates vs The Post Office, Spy Among Friends, Endeavour and Vera are set to be added to Disney+. Love Island, the first series of Karen Pirie, and The 1% Club are also set to be added further down the line.
To see the full line-up of shows on both platforms, there will be a "Taste of ITVX” section to Disney+ and a “Taste of Disney+” collection added to ITVX— making it user friendly.

ITVX subscribers may be benefitting the most from this deal. While they'll be able to access shows that requires a Disney+ subscription, Disney+ subscribers will only have programmes that are available for free on ITVX already.
This isn't the first time the two companies have worked together. For instance, Disney's Renegade Nell can already be streamed on ITVX without the new deal in place.
ITV Studios is also the producer behind a number of Disney+ series such as Rivals and Blind Date.
