Star is about to make Disney+ even bigger.

Grey's Anatomy, Scrubs and Buffy the Vampire Slayer are among a number of shows heading to Disney+ this February as new entertainment brand Star prepares to launch.

Star will arrive on Disney+ in the UK and Ireland, as well as a number of other countries worldwide, on Tuesday, February 23 and will add more than 75 popular TV series, more than 270 movies, and four exclusive Star Originals to the Disney+ line-up at launch, with new titles to be added every month.

As for the exclusive Star Originals, we'll initially be getting crime thriller series Big Sky, which comes from Big Little Lies creator David E Kelley, and Love, Simon spin-off series Love, Victor.

Also arriving at launch will be adult animated sitcom Solar Opposites from Rick & Morty co-creator Justin Roiland and writer Mike McMahan, and Marvel's horror series Helstrom, which focuses on Marvel Comics characters Daimon and Satana Helstrom.

Later in 2021 we can expect new series including Dopesick, starring Michael Keaton and Rosario Dawson, and The Dropout, featuring Kate McKinnon, as well as FX originals including the Jeff Bridges-starring The Old Man, plus new Kardashian-Jenner content.

Disney+ is introducing new parental controls following Star's launch, including the ability to limit access to content on specific profiles based on content age ratings and the ability to add a PIN to lock profiles that have access to adult content.

Jan Koeppen, President of the Walt Disney Company EMEA, said: "Star will be an integral part of Disney+, making it bigger, bolder and even more exciting. The arrival of hundreds of TV series and movies including our exclusive Star Originals will make Disney+ the premier destination for high quality entertainment with something for everyone."
