According to Deadline, Disney has recently announced a new Disney Digital Network, which will bring together creators and brands from its Maker Studios. According to Deadline…

"The network, which Disney says reaches over one billion followers, combines more than 300 social media channels and includes Disney's in-house branded content service, Disney Co/Op. The network will be made up of existing Disney editorial brands including Oh My Disney, Disney Style, Disney Family, Babble, Polaris, and StarWars.com and Star Wars App."

Disney has been redeveloping Maker Studio after they closed it down December of last year. The new Maker Studio will target a younger audience (millennials and kids) and be more of a social media platform. Jimmy Pitaro, Chairman of Disney Consumer Products had this to say…

"With an audience of over one billion highly-engaged followers, the Disney Digital Network is one of the most impactful publishers in digital media. This network extends our stories to the platforms Gen Z and Millennial audiences are on every day, with diverse editorial voices that integrate top creators and influencers."

The outlet will also provide new shows such as Science and Star Wars, Club Mickey Mouse, Disney IRL and more. So if Disney is your thing and you can't get enough of it, here you go!
