## Disney+ Welcomes R-Rated Content: Saw Franchise Joins the Family!
The world of Disney+ is undergoing a dramatic transformation as it ventures into more adult-oriented content. The beloved streaming platform, historically known for wholesome Disney classics and family-friendly entertainment, is now home to some unexpected residents — the terrifying Saw franchise.
This surprising addition is part of Disney’s broader strategy to diversify its content offerings. Having acquired 20th Century Fox in 2019 and launching an enticing Disney+ and Hulu bundle, the service now features edgier titles such as Family Guy, Bob’s Burgers, and Rick & Morty. This shift has certainly caught the attention of subscribers and has sparked quite the conversation online.
Tom Green’s cult classic, Freddy Got Fingered, made headlines last year by testing the waters on Disney+, and now it’s the turn of the Saw series to send chills down viewers’ spines. The first seven Saw films — Saw, Saw II, Saw III, Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI, and Saw 3D — can now be streamed on Disney+ by those with the Disney and Hulu bundle. If you’re a horror aficionado, you can also catch the latest installments, Jigsaw, Spiral, and Saw X, on Hulu with the Starz add-on.
Reactions among fans have been mixed. From Twitter comments like “Saw on Disney plus is a sentence I never thought I’d read but here we are lmao” to parents concerned about their youngsters stumbling upon these horrific tales, the debut of Saw has undeniably stirred the pot. Even the official Saw social media account got in on the action with a playful tweet: “hi i’m Billy and [link].”
As Disney+ evolves, it’s clear that The Walt Disney Company isn’t shying away from offering more mature content alongside its traditional lineup. For families, the streaming service provides a handy content filter to ensure little ones don’t inadvertently wander into nightmares.
