Disney Plus
If you’re wondering if you’ll be able to watch Hamilton on Disney Plus after July 3, we have some great news for you. Hamilton will be streaming for a long time after it premieres on Friday.
Hamilton Will Be Available for a Long Time After July 3
Heavy reached out to a representative of Disney Plus to confirm that Hamilton will continue to be available after July 3. The representative let Heavy know that Hamilton will be available on Disney Plus for a long time and it’s not going away any time soon.
So that’s great news. Of course, you’ll likely want to watch Hamilton right away as soon as it releases. But you’ll be able to go back and rewatch the hit musical however many times you want while you’re sheltering in place from the coronavirus.
You Can Watch Starting at 3 AM Eastern on July 3
Hamilton will be available on Disney Plus starting at 3 a.m. Eastern on Friday, July 3, a representative of Disney Plus confirmed with Heavy. That is 12 a.m. Pacific, 2 a.m. Central, or 1 a.m. Mountain time in the United States.
Note that the timing on this isn’t always exact and sometimes it may post a little later on some devices. If you log into Disney+ and don’t see the new episode right at 3 a.m. Eastern, it should be there within about 30 minutes. In the past, previous Disney+ releases sometimes take a little time to show up on all devices.
Lin-Manuel Miranda said about this production: “It was an incredible privilege to be able to film the show. It’s rare when that happens, but it was important to document the communal experience.”
