Streaming in the GCC is basically a monthly maths problem: one app for Arabic originals, another for Disney, another for HBO. Now Shahid is trying to make that mess slightly less annoying. Shahid, Disney+ and OSN+ have announced a single subscription bundle (available only via Shahid) that gives access to all three platforms with one bill, starting 18 December 2025.
If you’re the kind of person who bounces between Arabic dramas, Disney movies, and HBO Sunday nights, this is aimed directly at you.
- Shahid, Disney+ and OSN+ have launched a single bundle for the GCC, sold only through Shahid.
- You still use three separate apps, but pay through one subscription with unified billing.
- The bundle is pitched as “price of two” for access to all three services (no exact price shared).
- It’s live from 18 December 2025.
What’s actually launching (and where)
It’s a bundled subscription sold exclusively through Shahid, and it’s limited to the GCC.
- GCC-only availability (not positioned as a global rollout)
- Exclusive distribution via Shahid (you don’t buy it through Disney+ or OSN+)
- Announced from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on 18 December 2025
This matters because “bundle” deals often get messy with eligibility and regions. Here, the message is simple: if you’re in the GCC, Shahid is the checkout counter.
How the bundle works: one payment, three apps
This isn’t a “super app” situation. It’s more practical than that: one subscription and unified billing, but you still get access across the three services.
- Access to Shahid + Disney+ + OSN+ under one Shahid subscription plan
- Unified billing (one payment flow)
- Content is still delivered “via three apps” (so your watchlists and profiles don’t magically merge)
If you’ve ever cancelled a service just because you couldn’t be bothered to manage another subscription, unified billing is the real feature here.

What you get inside: Arabic originals, Disney favourites, and HBO on OSN+
The press release frames the bundle as “East to West” viewing: Shahid for Arabic originals, Disney+ for its big catalogue, and OSN+ for HBO and international series.
- Shahid: Arabic originals and a broad library (plus live channels and more, per Shahid’s platform description)
- Disney+: titles from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, plus The Simpsons (and general entertainment internationally)
- OSN+: positioned around premium TV, including HBO in MENA, and wider studio partnerships
The release also name-checks examples like FX’s “Shōgun”, “Lilo & Stitch”, and Shahid content including “Al Dariya”.

Pricing and timing: “price of two”, starts 18 December
No exact monthly fee was included, but the companies are clearly pushing the value angle.
- Marketed as access to all three for the “price of two”
- Available starting 18 December 2025
- Sold only through Shahid in the GCC
If you’re comparing bundles, it’s also worth looking at how other “one subscription” plays are being done in the region (different services, same idea): MBC and Netflix Join Forces in the Middle East.
