Classic sitcom The Golden Girls will be added to the lineup of programming available on Disney+ later this year.

The show, which starred Estelle Getty, Bea Arthur, Betty White and Rue McClanahan, ran for seven seasons and 180 episodes between 1985 and 1992.

After a lengthy absence from UK screens, Channel 5 repeated the first three seasons in a lunchtime slot last year but now all seven will become available through Disney+ in the next few months.

"I've been working hard on that," said Luke Bradley-Jones, who oversees Disney+ across Europe. "Coming this summer, you will have every season of The Golden Girls, every ever episode."

Disney+ has yet to confirm whether the one-season spinoff The Golden Palace will also be made available on the streaming service.
