Remember catching the likes of Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, Lost and even the X-Files after homework on a school night? Yup, it's been a while...
If like us, you've missed these stone-cold classics from our teens, fret not as the people over at Disney+ are bringing back these much-loved titles as well as a whole host of movies and originals as part of their new general entertainment brand, Star!

Other titles that will stream on Star on Disney+ in Ireland include crime thriller Big Sky from visionary storyteller David E. Kelley (Big Little Lies, The Undoing); Love, Simon spin-off series Love, Victor written by the film’s original writers Isaac Aptaker (This Is Us) and Elizabeth Berger (This Is Us) and adult animated sitcom Solar Opposites, co-created by Justin Roiland (Rick & Morty) and Mike McMahan (ex-writer’s assistant on Rick & Morty). Drama series Helstrom, executive produced by Paul Zbyszewski along with Karim Zreik and Jeph Loeb, will also be available at launch.

Whatsmore, to ensure Disney+ remains suitable for audiences of all ages and the experience parents expect, new parental controls launching on 23 February will include the ability to set limits on access to content for specific profiles based on content age ratings and the ability to add a PIN to lock profiles with access to mature content.
All of these, plus much more, are available to stream with Star on Disney+ from February 23rd!
Now excuse me while I catch up on that Ugly Betty episode I missed over school study back in Second Year...
