LONDON, UK (7 August, 2023) – Disney's live-action reimagining of the studio's Oscar®-winning animated musical classic “The Little Mermaid,” which opened in theatres in May and went on to gross more than $542 million at the global box office, will premiere on Disney+ on 6th September, 2023.
First released in theaters in May 2023, we can finally announce that the live-action reimagining of The Little Mermaid will make its streaming debut on Disney+ on Sept.
The Little Mermaid is headed to Disney Plus. You can start streaming the live-action remake on the service starting on September 6th. First released in theaters in May, The Little Mermaid stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, and Javier Bardem as King Triton.
The Little Mermaid premieres Sept. 6 on Disney+, and the only way to watch the film is with a subscription to the streaming service. Disney+ costs $8 per month with ads or $11 monthly without ads.

How much did Halle Bailey make for Little Mermaid?
According to Showbiz Galore, she was reportedly paid $1.5 million to don the tail and seashells, though some news outlets reported slightly more modest earnings of $500,000. Despite the online backlash about casting a Black Ariel, this project made Halle Bailey a household name, especially among young Disney fans.
How to Watch The Little Mermaid on Disney+ The Little Mermaid life-action is available to stream on Disney Plus, which offers two plans: a Basic ad-supported plan for $7.99 per month and a Premium no-ads plan for $10.99 per month.
The Little Mermaid will hit Disney+ on Wednesday, September 6, 2023. Unlike other live-action remakes, such as Pinocchio and Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid isn't a direct-to-streaming release. Given the box office performance of its predecessors (The Lion King made $1.65 billion), this isn't surprising.
