Daniel Brühl to star as Karl Lagerfeld in Kaiser Karl.

"Daniel Brühl (“All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Captain America: Civil War”) is set to star as late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld in “Kaiser Karl,” the anticipated Disney+ original series which Gaumont (“Lupin”) is currently producing. The show is currently shooting in France, Monaco and Italy.

The six-part series will chronicle the rise of Karl Lagerfeld through the world of 1970s Parisian high fashion. In 1972, a 38-year-old Karl Lagerfeld aspired to become the most famous French fashion designer, at a time when Yves Saint Laurent reigned supreme. Lagerfeld went on to become the head designer and creative director of Chanel, Fendi and his own label.

The series will also explore the rivalry between Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent’s partner Pierre Berge, as well as his love story with Jacques de Bascher."

Hulu on Disney+ Launches in the U.S. for Disney Bundle Subscribers - The Walt Disney Company

Hulu on Disney+ launches in the U.S. for Disney Bundle subscribers on Wednesday. Here's everything you need to know.

thewaltdisneycompany.com

I'm finding using Disney+ on computer to be very buggy.

The "beta" mark on the Hulu icon in D+ is still there.

The D+ app on Roku is working fine.

The Hulu properties are indeed showing up integrated into D+ properties. You can see, e.g., Handmaid's Tale in the search.

I don't have the cool new Aurora splash screen yet.

So... it's about half rolled out... for me.

The iOS D+ app, and the Firestick version all have the splash screen update. Though the Hulu tile still says Beta for both, I assume that is system wide and will be updated soon.
