Since many movie theatres in the US and EU are still closed due to the pandemic, Disney Plus decided to release the film on its streaming platform. Hence the musical will debut on the streaming platform on July 3, 2020. But apart from being disappointed by no theatrical release, Hamilton fans were also disappointed by Disney Plus’ recent decision of stopping free trials.

This decision by the streaming platform has been taken just three weeks before Hamilton’s premiere. But even though this decision left many Hamilton fans disappointed, this has not caused major loss to Disney Plus. This recently launched streaming platform already had 54.5 million subscribers after its launch in May. Watch Lin Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton trailer here.
