The Star app brought a massive library of movies and shows to Disney Plus outside the US.

Disney Plus

After Disney Plus unveiled the full list of movies and shows coming under its Star brand in January, the app was added to the streaming service in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Canada on Tuesday. It's basically content from Disney Television Studios, FX, 20th Century Studios and 20th Television that's more adult-friendly, as opposed to all-ages content on the rest of Disney Plus. 

The UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, Portugal, Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland are the European countries that'll get the Star content.

The company also added some new parental controls, so you can stop your kids from wandering in. 

Along with the list of familiar movies and shows, Star will have some original content (which is available on Hulu and ABC in the US): teen drama Love, Victor, detective show Big Sky, Justin Roiland animated series Solar Opposites and Marvel show Helstrom.

Also coming are Dopesick, a miniseries starring Michael Keaton and Rosario Dawson, several FX series like The Old Man (with Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow), Kate McKinnon's The Dropout and a new show from the Kardashian Jenners.

The selection will be updated regularly, Disney confirmed in a Feb. 17 virtual briefing. Can You Ever Forgive Me, Danny Boyle's The Beach, Gone in 60 Seconds and Taken will be added in March, and every season of The Golden Girls will hit Disney Plus this summer. 

On the Marvel front, X-Men: First Class and Logan will be added to the service "within a year," Luke Bradley-Jones, Disney Plus' general manager for the European region, confirmed. Having access to more X-Men movies seems more important than ever, given the events in recent episodes of WandaVision.

All this comes at a cost though -- Disney Plus is getting a price bump in these regions. In the UK, it'll increase from £5.99 to £7.99 per month, or £59.99 to £79.90 per year. Current subscribers will pay the existing price until Aug. 23.

Here's the full list of movies and shows that'll be available at launch, so you can decide it's worth the increased cost. This is the UK lineup, so it might vary slightly by region:
