The "STAR" brand originated as a Hong Kong-based satellite broadcaster which operated under that name starting in 1991, and had been acquired by [[UsefulNotes/RupertMurdoch News Corporation]] in 1993. After 2009, the Star brand was mainly restricted to the now separately-owned Star China Media, as well as Star India, which operates primarily in India but also distributes Indian programming worldwide. Star India (and the other remaining operations outside mainland China) were then acquired by Creator/{{Disney}} as part of its acquisition of 21st Century Fox in 2019.
During an earnings call on August 5, 2020, Disney CEO Bob Chapek announced that Disney planned to launch a new international, general entertainment service under the Star brand name in 2021, slated to feature more mature content than what was offered on Disney+. The plan superseded a previously announced international expansion of Disney-controlled American streaming service Creator/{{Hulu}}, which has only expanded outside the United States to Japan[[note]]and the Japanese version of Hulu is now InNameOnly, having been acquired by Creator/NipponTelevision and featuring dramatically different programming; unlike the US, Star will also be available in Japan. There is also a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Channel_(Japanese_TV_channel) STAR Channel]] there which was originally linked to the Hong Kong broadcaster and, later, Fox, but that was sold in 2019[[/note]]. Chapek argued that the Hulu brand was not well-known outside of the United States, along with "Star" being a much more marketable service mark worldwide. In India and most of Asia, the brand is not available due to the presence of Disney+ Hotstar in those regions, with that service carrying general entertainment content already seen on STAR.
