So, no info about when it’ll be available in Scandinavia?
Since HBO Nordic has (from what I’ve gathered) been quite good at releasing things more-or-less at the same time as the US it’d be kind of weird if Disney+ was as delayed here as it will be in the UK.
BTW; Is there any specific reason why the UK won’t get Disney+ until next year? That seems really weird to me.
The exclusive contracts that Sky TV have for showing the Star Wars films in the UK do not expire until sometime in 2020… (ie, https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/nov/05/sky-faces-loss-of-disney-content-as-it-leaves-the-ftse-100 - 2018 article)
I haven’t seen anything about Scandinavia, sorry.
This article has a bit of info; the German Disney+ is down for a 2020 start - and most of Western Europe too (translated):-
‘As the colleagues of Variety report, the service should expand to “Western Europe” in early 2020 - whether Germany is included is not yet clear. At the end of 2020, Disney + should also start in Eastern Europe. We therefore expect that Disney + will be available here at the earliest in early 2020 until the end of 2020 at the latest.’
Though I’ve no idea how reliable or accurate the actual article - or publication, is:-

If you’re on social media it may well be worth asking the question on the respective Disney+ channels about the Scandinavian services to come?
Yeah, HBO are pretty much on the ball with their services all over the world (a few early leaks for Game Of Thrones apart 😉). Disney stuttering the release of the Disney+ around the world will likely see many opt for the Dark Side route of obtaining content they wish to see… and some may not bother with the official Disney+ service when it is eventually available in their respective countries…
