Disney+ original programming is heading to the Middle East, following an exclusive deal with local pay TV and streaming provider OSN.

The Dubai-headquartered company has signed a deal with Disney to bring original shows from its SVOD platform, such as The Mandalorian, to its services in 17 markets, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon and Egypt, starting April 9. The move is understood to be the first time Disney+ content has been distributed through a third-party provider.
