Disney+ is introducing Playlists, a feature that brings together themed collections of episodes and movies that play continuously.
Instead of choosing titles one by one, subscribers can select a playlist curated by genre, franchise, character, or mood that plays one title after another.
The playlists include action and adventure movies, romantic comedies, and Pixar Movies.
Disney+ said Playlists take the work out of figuring out what to watch next while giving subscribers the ability to pause, skip, and rewind at any time. The company described the feature as a "lean-back viewing experience".
Seasonal playlists will also be available throughout the year, with themed and holiday-inspired collections for occasions like Halloween.
Each playlist features automatic shuffled playback, along with playback controls to pause, skip, rewind, or fast-forward at any time.
Disney said Playlists make it easier to spend less time searching on the platform, and more time watching what the service has to offer.
The Playlists feature is being rolled out globally by Disney+.
Disney-owned platforms ESPN and Disney+ recently began beta testing AI-powered features designed to help audiences find information and content. Discover more here.
