In New Zealand, Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi's hilarious coming of age comedy series is available to stream exclusively on Disney Plus' newly added brand, Star.

Star is a banner which allows Disney Plus to include more adult-oriented content, and was added to the service back in February, resulting in a slight increase of Disney Plus' subscription price.

While Disney Plus no longer offers a free trial, you can sign up to the service for as little as NZ$12.99 per month or NZ$129.99 per year.

To see what else the platform has on the menu (spoiler alert: we're talking everything Star Wars, Pixar, Marvel movies, The Simpsons and much, much more), you can head directly to the Disney Plus website.
