AceShowbiz - Disney has announced a groundbreaking content agreement with Spain’s public broadcaster, RTVE, marking a first in the European streaming landscape. This deal will allow a selection of popular Spanish shows to become available on Disney+ shortly after their original linear broadcast.

Among the initial titles included is the Spanish adaptation of the acclaimed cooking competition series, MasterChef Spain. Starting Tuesday, Disney+ subscribers will have access to the 13 episodes of the 14th season of MasterChef as well as the 12 episodes of the 11th season of MasterChef Celebrity. These episodes will be released on the streaming platform immediately following their premiere on La1, the main channel of RTVE.

This partnership is notable as it represents the first occasion in Europe where a state broadcaster has agreed to offer its content on a streaming service the day after airing on traditional television. The deal covers a range of genres including drama, entertainment, and reality programming, signaling a significant shift in how European public broadcasters are distributing their content.

By enabling near-simultaneous digital release, Disney+ and RTVE aim to reach broader audiences and adapt to evolving viewer habits that increasingly favor on-demand streaming. This initiative could set a precedent for future collaborations between public broadcasters and streaming platforms across the continent.

With the inclusion of popular series like MasterChef Spain, viewers can expect timely access to fresh content from Spain’s leading broadcaster alongside global offerings on Disney+.
