Disney Branded Television — which is behind original entertainment content for Disney+ and Disney Channels — has promoted Leah Buono to vice president of casting, senior vice president of casting and talent relations Brenda Kelly-Grant, to whom she reports, announced today.

As a senior member of the casting team, Buono will oversee live-action pilots, series, original movies and unscripted titles under the Disney Branded Television banner for Disney+ and Disney Channel.

“Leah is an accomplished casting executive whose extraordinary eye for talent has launched the careers of some of today’s most notable performers,” Kelly-Grant said in a statement. “Her passion for actors of all levels, combined with her creativity, leadership and strong relationships with talent, agents and managers, has contributed to the success of multiple key franchises throughout her tenure. And all of us at Disney Branded...

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for Disney Plus to add a bunch of new titles to its library. Today sees seven movies and TV shows go up on the streaming service in the US, including five new episodes of original shows and a couple of freshly licensed movies. There’s much to enjoy, then, but the highlight of the haul probably has to be the premiere of a much-anticipated Marvel series.

Marvel 616 might not be a new entry in the McU, but it is a Marvel Studios production, acting as a neat introduction to the franchise’s upcoming exclusive D+ shows. The anthology documentary series is set to explore the historical, cultural and societal impacts of the Marvel Comics Universe and its intersection with the world. It kicks off its first episode of six today and should keep fans going through December, ahead of WandaVision dropping in January.

Disney Plus is barely a year-old streaming service, but it already has cornered a particular sub-genre of unscripted programming that should surprise no one. Shows like “Inside Disney, “One Day at Disney” and “Marvel’s Hero Project” offer in-depth looks at the creative minds behind the Walt Disney Company and its extraordinary impact on the world, pairing inspirational stories with swelling triumphant music to underline just how fantastic Disney’s multi-billion dollar conglomerate truly is. “Propaganda” is probably too strong a word, but it’s not altogether wrong, either. The purpose of these shows, first and foremost, is to underline Disney’s unique place in entertainment and publicize its most heartwarming effects. So when I first turned on “Marvel’s 616,” I figured I knew I’d be in for — but was only halfway right.

The new docuseries, compromised of eight episodes, dives into Marvel’s history and speaks with those artists...

This coming week is a big one for Disney Plus, as the streamer is breaking convention and adding content on other days as well as Friday. The Mouse House’s platform typically only updates its library on the last day of the week, but the next seven days are an exception as new titles are also dropping on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Of course, we’re talking about the 17th’s Lego Star Wars Holiday Special and the 18th’s double bill series premiere of The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse. The reason why these titles aren’t landing on Friday along with the rest is because they have significant ties to those specific dates.

The Lego special is a tongue-in-cheek homage to 1978’s infamous Star Wars Holiday Special, which aired on CBS – for one time only – on November 17th. And as for the new Mickey Mouse animated series, the legendary...

It’s Friday the 13th, and while that’s unlucky for some, it’s a lucky day for those looking for fresh content to stream as it kicks off a weekend that’s bursting with great new movies and TV shows. Whether you’re subscribed to Netflix, Disney Plus, HBO Max, Hulu or Prime Video, or any combination of them, you’ll find much to keep yourself entertained over the next few days.

This Friday, Netflix adds several original titles – including family holiday movie Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey, drama film The Life Ahead and Spanish crime thriller series The Minions of Midas. Over on Disney Plus, meanwhile, the latest episode of The Mandalorian season 2 drops, and Hulu users can check out the season premieres of Grey’s Anatomy, Law & Order: Svu and Station 19 as well as original Greta Thunberg documentary I Am Greta.

And on Prime Video, you...

It’s Friday, and you know what that means. Yes, Disney Plus is unloading its latest haul of new content. This week’s batch isn’t one of the biggest ever, and doesn’t include any fresh movies, either originals or otherwise, but what it does offer up is a bevy of new TV episodes. Including one series premiere, one season finale and the latest installment of D+’s biggest show to date.

Obviously, that last one refers to The Mandalorian, with the third episode of season 2 dropping today. Titled “Chapter 11: The Heiress,” it sees Bryce Dallas Howard return to the director’s chair after helming an outing in season 1. It’s a key chapter in the unfolding story, too, featuring some exciting surprises.

Elsewhere, the Josh Gad-narrated Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom wraps up its first season, with an episode about a baby gorilla called Grace.

It’s been a rather stressful year, so it’s always nice to have an opportunity to lose yourself in good movies and television, and that’s precisely what Disney Plus has been providing so far this month. Whether you’ve been getting in the holiday spirit with Jim Carrey’s A Christmas Carol, catching up on new episodes of The Mandalorian, or digging into the impressive catalog of classic Disney titles available on the service, there’s clearly something available for everyone.

This week brings along with it a handful of new content that you’ll want to look out for, too. And most importantly, of course, the third episode of The Mandalorian‘s second season will debut. The sophomore run of this massively popular show has garnered a lot of interest with its surprising reveals so far, which could lead to some very interesting plot twists, so be...

After bringing us a ton of great content in October, Disney Plus is looking to keep the momentum going now that we’re into November. Among other things, they’ve added a new episode of the platform’s most popular show today, along with a Christmas flick and a whole handful of interesting titles that are sure to keep you busy over the weekend.

Of course, the most exciting addition of the bunch has to be the new installment of Disney Plus original series The Mandalorian. After the season 2 premiere kicked things off an an extremely exciting note, the story continues today with another chapter and already, the early reactions online seem to be positive. Then again, it’s hard not to love anything Baby Yoda related.

But if Star Wars isn’t really your jam, why not try Disney’s A Christmas Carol, the 2009 animated adaptation of the iconic Charles Dickens story?...

Following a wonderful selection of fresh content in October, Disney Plus is coming out strong with its first drop of November. There’s a new episode of the service’s most popular show, a Christmas classic and a quite a few other cool additions, so there’s certainly no shortage of stuff to check out for subscribers later this week.

If you’re like the majority of people, you’re probably most excited to catch the next installment of the Disney Plus original series The Mandalorian. And no one could blame you after Friday’s season premiere, which featured an awesome conclusion that’s led to tons of excitement about what the future holds. Luckily, you won’t have to wait long to see what’s next, as the second episode airs on November 6th.

You can also check out Disney’s A Christmas Carol, a 2009 animated adaptation of the famous Charles Dickens story.

It’s Halloween Eve, and Disney Plus has a load of new content for you to enjoy this weekend. The Mouse House’s streaming service has previously made sure there were lots of spooky season movies and TV shows available to watch with its Halloween collection, which it launched at the beginning of the month, so today’s haul isn’t particularly focused on the holiday. Still, there are number of titles in it that you won’t want to miss.

You probably don’t need any reminding, but the big highlight of this week’s arrivals is the second season premiere of The Mandalorian. Make sure to catch that Asap if you haven’t yet to avoid spoilers. The opener features the return of Pedro Pascal’s masked bounty hunter and his adorable young charge, Baby Yoda, as their quest to find The Child a home continues.

For more,...

October 30th will mark the final Disney Plus content drop of the month and it brings with it a handful of exciting new additions to the platform’s library that you’ll want to check out. But most importantly, if you have a subscription to the service, there’s a high chance that you’re a Star Wars fan who’s looking forward to season 2 of a very special TV series – and that wait is nearly over.

That’s right – The Mandalorian will be back on our screens this week, finally answering the call of the millions of fans who made it the most-anticipated returning show of the year. Of course, the 30th is only bringing the very first episode of the new season, with the rest to follow every Friday for a total of eight weeks.

Even so, folks are sure to be excited to finally catch back up...

Disney Plus has announced their full slate of new additions for November, and it unveils a Thanksgiving feast of fresh content.

Following its debut at the end of October, The Mandalorian will air new episodes of its second season every Friday, so Star Wars fans will be set through the rest of the year. But there’s much else to enjoy on the streaming service over the course of the month as well and you can see the entire list below.

Released November 6

Star Wars: The Mandalorian – Season 2, Episode 2 “Chapter 10”

Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom – Episode 7, “The Big Egg Switcheroo”

Weird But True – Episode 313, “Camping”

Star Wars: The Mandalorian – Season 2 – Episode 3 “Chapter 11”

Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom...

Though Disney Plus may not offer the volume of fresh content that typically comes to Netflix and Hulu each month, fans of the Mouse House are usually treated to some genuinely exciting stuff that ranges from classic movies and shows to brand new Disney Plus Originals. This month has been no different, of course, with the addition of such hits as Angelina Jolie’s fantasy flick Maleficent, season 31 of the beloved show The Simpsons and an inspirational true story in the form of the original film Clouds.

Of course, you’ll want to keep looking forward, too, as Disney Plus will be premiering the first episode of the second season of The Mandalorian in just a few weeks. It’s no secret that the series ranks #1 as the most anticipated returning show, and its sophomore season is almost certain to be just as exciting – if not more so – than its incredibly well-received first outing.

Spooky season was fun while it lasted but nothing gold can stay. It’s about to be November and that means it’s time for the holiday season to start its incredibly long ramp up through to the end of the year. Thankfully on the list of Disney+ new releases for November 2020, there’s one holiday item that any Scrooge can appreciate.

The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special premieres on Nov. 17 and will reunite Rey, Finn, Poe, Rose, and Chewbacca as they observe Wookiee Life Day for the first time in Star Wars canon since the 1978 Christmas Special. And of course there will be some time travel shenanigans as well. November is a big month for the Star Wars franchise all around with The Mandalorian season 2 continuing to air new episodes each Friday.

Other originals of note include a remake of Black Beauty, which arrives n Nov. 27, several more episodes of The Right Stuff,...

It’s been a fun month to be a Disney Plus subscriber so far, and today’s content drop aims to keep that trend alive. We’re being treated to the addition of a new original movie, the premiere episode of an original show and plenty more that should keep you busy over the weekend – especially if you’re a fan of nature.

Indeed, today’s additions include a handful of nature documentaries, but the new Disney Plus Original Meet the Chimps is perhaps the most exciting piece of content in the haul. The premiere episode will introduce viewers to Chimp Haven, an incredibly large and interesting wildlife sanctuary in Louisiana that houses over 300 chimpanzees. The series follows this diverse group of chimps through the good and bad of their daily lives, while also touching on the staff that works diligently to keep them safe and happy.

But if you...

You might still be making your way through this past Friday’s new haul, but let’s look ahead all the same to what’s coming to Disney Plus this coming week. There are 10 new titles in total, including the latest episodes of the streaming service’s ongoing TV series, plus a couple of fresh shows and a brand new original movie.

Looking for something new to watch this weekend? Don’t worry, the various major streaming services have got you well covered as Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu, HBO Max and Amazon Prime are all serving up some great fresh content over the course of the next few days. Whether you’re looking for an early Halloween treat, a few classic movies or something for the family, you won’t be disappointed.

For starters, Netflix dropped one of its most-anticipated titles of the month this Friday – The Haunting of Bly Manor, the follow-up to the hit 2018 horror TV series The Haunting of Hill House. Elsewhere, you can catch the second season of animated show Fast & Furious Spy Racers or documentary Deaf U.

For more, here’s the full list of everything that’s hitting streaming this weekend:

It’s Friday, and that means it’s time for the latest haul of new titles to hit Disney Plus. Similar to last week’s load, this October 9th delivers a decent batch of fresh content, including a bunch of new TV episodes, some National Geographic documentaries and, most notably, a couple of classic movies, such as another one of Fox’s X-Men films. The best of the lot, in fact.

Yup, 2003’s X2 is available on D+ from today. The second instalment in the X-franchise is still considered one of the finest of the whole series. Hugh Jackman stars as Logan, who discovers the forgotten secrets of his past when he returns to Alkali Lake to confront the wicked General Stryker (Brian Cox), who wants to use Professor X to wipe out mutantkind.

The other film dropping on Disney Plus today is The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyager of the Dawn Treader,...

You might still be working your way through this past Friday’s haul, but let’s look ahead to what’s arriving on Disney Plus this coming week. It’s a similar-sized load of new content on its way on October 9th, including a couple of classic films you’ll want to check out, as well as a bunch of new TV episodes.

Without further ado, you can find the full list of everything arriving on the Mouse House’s streaming service this Friday below:

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom – Episode 103 – “Betty and the Beast” *Disney+ Original

One Day At Disney – Episode 145 – “Gabriela Clark: Creative Print Marketing” *Disney+ Original

Let’s start with the...

Most of the subscription services just added a huge haul of new titles on the first of the month, but they’ve also got a lot of great stuff coming up this weekend as well, including what became available today. From original movies to forgotten gems and even a few surprises, there’s much to dig into here.

We’ll dive into everything more in-depth shortly, but first, see below for the full list of every movie and TV show that’s due on Netflix, Disney Plus, HBO Max, Hulu and Prime from Friday, October 2nd to Sunday, October 4th:

October 2

Disney Plus has added 9 new titles to its library today, and while it’s not the most exciting or eye-catching haul, there are still a few notable fresh movies and TV shows that you may want to look into.

For one, we’ve got some new films that might keep the young ones entertained. There’s 2008’s Beverly Hills Chihuahua, which boasts a cast that includes Piper Perabo and Jamie Lee Curtis as the human leads, while George Lopez and Andy Garcia lend vocal support. The pic follows the adventures of a couple of Chihuahuas who find themselves dognapped and taken to Mexico. It spawned a few sequels back in the day and while not an incredible movie by any means, it can definitely kill a few hours if you’re looking for some family-friendly entertainment.

2005’s Cheaper by the Dozen 2, meanwhile, stars Steve Martin and focuses on the jumbo-sized Baker family.

It’s a brand new month, and that means we have a brand new load of original content coming to Disney Plus over the next few weeks. October isn’t one of the busiest months for the streaming service, but there a few great original movies and TV shows that you won’t want to miss.

We all know what one of them is, of course, but maybe the others have passed you by. You can fix that, though, by checking out the full list of every original coming to D+ across October below.

Disney Plus is adding 9 new titles this coming week to kick off October. September opened with one of the biggest streaming releases of the year, Mulan, so obviously this month is going to have a softer opening haul. Still, there are a few notable fresh movies and TV shows going up on the service this Friday, October 2nd.

To start with, there are a handful of new films being added to D+’s library, and 2008’s Beverly Hills Chihuahua is one of them. Starring Piper Perabo and Jamie Lee Curtis as the human leads and the voices of George Lopez and Andy Garcia, the movie – which started a pretty successful straight-to-dvd franchise for the Mouse House – follows the adventures of a couple of well-off Chihuahuas who get dognapped and taken to Mexico.

2005’s Cheaper by the Dozen, the sequel to the earlier comedy film starring Steve Martin about the mishaps of the jumbo-sized Baker family,...

If you don’t have any plans for this weekend, you’re about to be given plenty. And even if you do have a jam-packed next couple of days coming up, what you’re going to read here might make you want to reconsider doing anything other than curling up on the couch with some popcorn.

Below you’ll find a comprehensive list of everything dropping on Netflix, Disney Plus, HBO Max, Hulu and Amazon Prime through the dates of September 25th to the 27th, and suffice it to say, there’s quite a lot to dig into.

Friday delivered a ton of new titles to Disney Plus, but let’s look ahead at what’s due to drop this coming week on the Mouse House’s streaming service. The final haul of September is another hefty one, bringing with it various new National Geographic series, some new TV episodes and the latest D+ original movie.

The TV highlight of the haul has to be the premiere of Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, a new wildlife documentary series narrated by Disney favorite Josh Gad. Expect new episodes of that to release weekly for the next couple of months. Meanwhile, you may also want to check out season 2 of the Muppet Babies reboot.

Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom...

Back in November of 2019 (which seems like a lifetime ago), Disney+ launched with what would become its premier title: The Mandalorian. Now here we are just under a year later and it’s finally time for the next installment of Disney+’s Star Wars journey.

The Mandalorian season 2 arrives on Oct. 30 and is the biggest ticket item on Disney+ this month and perhaps is the biggest ticket item in all the streaming world. Rest assured that the itty bitty Baby Yoda will be returning once again. And be sure to catch up all the other secrets the trailer holds here.

In addition to Mando, Disney+ is brining another major original series to its stream this month. The Right Stuff, based on on the 1979 book of the same name about the NASA space program, will be arriving on Oct. 9 and debuting new episodes throughout the month.

Big library titles in October include Maleficent,...

It’s Friday, and Disney Plus has delivered its usual healthy dose of new titles to keep you Mouse House lovers going through the weekend. Last week was a bit of an anaemic haul coming after the high of Mulan and other titles arriving on September 4th, but this batch dropping today – September 18th – is a lot weightier. It includes a brand new original TV series, one whole classic TV show and a couple of movies, among other things.

See below for the full list of what we got:

Becoming – Original Series Premiere: Episodes 101-110 Available *Disney+ Original

Bend it Like Beckham

Coop & Cami Ask the World (S2)

Europe from Above (S1)

With October quickly approaching, it’s time to start looking ahead to what’s coming to all our favorite streaming services next month, and as usual, Disney Plus is first out of the gate in regards to announcing what’s on the way. We’ll get to the full list shortly, but clearly, the big highlight for many will be season 2 of The Mandalorian.

Though it took a while for the Mouse House to begin the marketing campaign for it, the past few weeks have brought us photos, posters and, of course, a stunning full-length trailer for the show’s next run, all of which promise another thrilling adventure. Rumors of behind the scenes turmoil aside, all signs point to The Mandalorian making another big splash on the platform with its second season and we can’t wait to see what Baby Yoda and Mando get up to next.

But...

This past Friday only brought a handful of new titles to Disney Plus, but the coming week will deliver a much bigger haul to the streaming service. In total, subscribers have 14 new movies and TV shows to look forward to checking out once they’re added to the site on Friday, September 18th.

The biggest original release dropping that day is Becoming, a new 10-part series in which celebrities take us through their starts in life and how they got to where they are today. Each episode centers on a different famous face, including former Disney star Ashley Tisdale, comedian Nick Kroll and basketball player Candace Parker.

Here’s the full list of everything hitting D+ this coming Friday:

Becoming – Original Series Premiere: Episodes 101-110 Available *Disney+ Original

Bend it Like Beckham

Coop & Cami Ask the World (S2)

Ever After: A Cinderella Story

Kingdom of the...

It’s finally Friday, so let’s take a look at all the new titles coming to the major streaming services over the next few days. The weekend beginning September 11th maybe isn’t the biggest of the month, but there are still a few new movies and TV shows arriving across Netflix, Disney Plus, HBO Max, Hulu and Amazon Prime that you’ll want to catch.

For starters, Netflix has dropped eight new additions this Friday, including five originals. The highlights include comedy series The Duchess, popular DreamWorks animated sequel How to Train Your Dragon 2 and the latest bunch of Pokemon Journeys episodes. You might also wish to catch the second season of French series Family Business, romantic musical Lara & the Beat and children’s show Pets United.

See below for the full list of everything hitting streaming this weekend:

September 11

Netflix

The Duchess — Netflix Original

Family Business:...

We’re only just at the beginning of September, but we already have a decent idea of what the lineup of new content coming to Disney Plus in November is going to be like.

Thanks to the recent announcement that The Mandalorian will premiere on October 30th, we know that we’ll be getting a new episode of the Star Wars show’s second season every week of the month. Though at present, we don’t know any more than that.

Elsewhere, though, new episodes of ongoing series Weird But True, The Right Stuff, One Day at Disney and Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom all roll out throughout November. There are also a bunch of movies that you might want to catch when they arrive. Obviously, there will be a lot more content to come when we actually reach the month, as more is sure to be announced, but...

The weekend is almost here, which means that the numerous combatants in the streaming wars are ready to drop plenty of fresh content to entice their subscribers to stay indoors and settle down with a good movie or TV show. Given the sheer volume of services to choose from these days, audiences are more spoiled for choice than ever, and a lot of people find themselves spending almost as long deciding on what to pick as they do actually watching it.

Disney Plus might not boast the same caliber of original content as Netflix and Amazon Prime, but they’ll definitely have the most-watched title of the weekend, as Mulan finally arrives exclusively on streaming for a one-off fee of $29.99. Theater owners might not be happy about the studio’s decision to pull the latest live-action remake from the big screen, but families and single-person households alike will no doubt...

We’ve reached the end of August, and on Friday of this coming week, Disney Plus will drop a haul of new content to welcome in the new month. The next batch of movies and TV shows added to the streaming service’s library includes a few classic films, some fresh TV episodes and one of the most notable straight-to-streaming releases of the whole year.

This is, of course, Mulan, the live-action remake of the 1998 animated classic. The film was originally set to hit theaters back in March, but it was pulled due to the pandemic. With cinemas still not fully up and running again, Disney has elected to make the groundbreaking decision to release the Liu Yifei-starring movie on Disney Plus – albeit via a new Premiere Access level, meaning audiences have to spend $29.99 to watch it.

See below for the full list of everything coming to D+ this week:...

As we reach the end of August, let’s look ahead to every Disney Plus original that’s headed to the streaming service in September. As usual, each week’s haul of new content will deliver a bunch of fresh episodes of D+’s ongoing series. Alongside these, though, September will bring an original movie, a few new shows and one of Disney’s biggest films of the year that’s being released in a groundbreaking way.

Yes, that’s obviously Mulan. As well as a limited theatrical release, the live-action remake of the beloved animated flick is set to debut on Disney Plus on Friday, September 4th via the newly unveiled Premier Access level of the site. Users will have to pay $29.99 on top of their typical subscription fees to view the movie. The upside, though, is that it will remain available to stream from then on, so you...

You might still be working your way through the last haul that just landed on Friday, but let’s look ahead anyway to what’s arriving on Disney Plus at the end of next week. Just like on the 21st, the 28th will deliver about half a dozen new movies and TV shows for subscribers to enjoy, and there are definitely a few things to look forward to.

Following on from last week’s The One and Only Ivan, there’s another D+ original movie on the roster this Friday and that’s Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe. This is only the second ever feature-length spinoff of the long-running Disney Channel animated series, following the brothers having to race across space to rescue their sister Candace (Ashley Tisdale) when she’s abducted by aliens.

For more, see below for the full list of titles hitting D+ on Friday,...

Disney+ is out with its list of everything new coming in September, and the list includes new episodes of “Muppets Now” and “One Day at Disney.”

Also, Disney+ subscribers can pay an additional $29.99 for early Premiere Access to the new live-action “Mulan” movie several months before its wide release.

Library titles being added next month include “Bend It Like Beckham” starring Keira Knightly and Season 2 of “Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted.”

There’s plenty going up on the various streaming services for users to enjoy this weekend. In particular, those who subscribe to Netflix and Disney Plus have a whole heap of new titles to dig into over the next few days. Some of the highlights include the hotly awaited return of a hit show, a few new movies and a smash hit release from 2017.

Let’s start with Friday. Netflix is serving up probably the biggest addition of the weekend with Lucifer season 5A, the first eight episodes that make up the penultimate run of the DC supernatural/crime drama starring Tom Ellis as the Devil. The trailer teased that Ellis will get to double up this year as Lucifer’s twin brother Michael comes to Los Angeles to stir up trouble and so far, at least, reactions to the new run are pretty strong.

Over on D+, meanwhile, the...

It’s Friday, and you know what that means? Yes, it’s time for Disney Plus to deliver its weekly haul of new additions. Today’s isn’t one of the biggest ever, but it’s all about quality over quantity this week as these seven titles contain a few major releases. Including one brand new Disney + original movie.

The One and Only Ivan is a heartwarming family film about the titular Ivan, a 400-pound silverback gorilla who lives with a range of other animals in a shopping mall. The cast is stacked full of stars including Sam Rockwell as the voice of Ivan, with Angelina Jolie (who also produces), Danny DeVito, Helen Mirren, Chaka Khan and Ron Funches also on board to lend their voices.

After successfully bringing movie theater fare like Artemis Fowl and Hamilton to the smaller screen, Disney+ is going to attempt its most ambitious movie streaming experiment yet in September.

Disney+’s list of new releases for September 2020 is highlighted by the inclusion of Mulan. Originally scheduled to premiere in March, the live-action adaptation of the classic Disney animated movie was one of the first coronavirus scheduling casualties. Now, after a long wait, Disney is making the movie available (for $29.99) to Disney+ subscribers.

In addition to that big swing, Disney+ is has some other intriguing originals set for September. Alien talk show series Earth to Ned premieres on September 4 and the LeBron James-produced reality series Becoming arrives on September 18.

Disney+ is also set to pad out its library titles. The big movies of note here include two Mighty Ducks sequels, The Wolverine, and Bend it Like Beckham. Season 2 of Gordon Ramsay...

You might still be working your way through the huge haul that just arrived on the site this past Friday, but let’s skip ahead to this coming week all the same and preview what’s headed to Disney Plus on August 21st. It’s nowhere near as big as the lot that’s just arrived, but there are a couple of notable new additions to look forward to.

These include a couple of major blockbusters, a batch of new TV episodes, a lot of National Geographic docu-series and a D+ original movie.

The latest original to land on the streaming service is Magic Camp, starring Adam DeVine as a down-on-his-luck magician who takes a job as a counsellor at a magic camp and finds that the misfit kids there help him rediscover his love of magic.

Disney Plus subscribers may have just spent their weekend working their way through all the new content that arrived on the streaming service last Friday, so let’s look ahead to what’s headed to the site at the end of this week. It’s an even larger haul than the last one, comprising 18 movies and TV shows. There’s a little bit of everything coming this Friday, too, including a ton of National Geographic content, some new stuff for the children and a quartet of major movies – two previously released big hits and two Disney + Originals.

As part of the site’s Summer Movie Nights season, Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp lands on Friday. With the addition of this 2018 sequel starring Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly, that leaves just three McU films that are not on D+ – The Incredible Hulk and the two Spider-Man flicks.

Another smash-hit drops...

It’s the start of a new month and Disney Plus has a lot of great content coming across August for its subscribers to enjoy. This Friday will see the next batch drop on the streaming service and it’s a decent-sized haul, too. There are all the latest episodes of D+’s usual TV shows – One Day at Disney, Pixar in Real-Life, Disney Family Sundays, etc. – to enjoy, plus a few must-see movies.

To begin with, this week’s lot includes Howard, a documentary film honoring the late Howard Ashman, the acclaimed lyricist behind the songs of Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Little Mermaid who tragically passed away at just 40 years old in 1991. There’s also the second episode of unscripted series Muppets Now as well as National Geographic shows Hidden Kingdoms of China and UFO Europe: The Untold Stories.

Over the past few months, Disney Plus has cemented itself within the streaming world as a force to be reckoned with. With Marvel movies, The Mandalorian and now a unique recording of the acclaimed Broadway musical Hamilton inside its library, among many other things, the service is here to stay – much to the chagrin of Netflix.

Although Disney Plus adds a smaller amount of content to its collection than most of its competitors, the company certainly packs a punch. For proof of that, look no further than August, in which Disney’s popular service is set to upload a handful of interesting new shows and films.

To begin with, we’ve got Muppets Now. The very first original, unscripted series to be produced by The Muppets Studio, it’ll center around Scooter as he tries to ensure that new episodes of Muppets Now get to streaming on time. The format...

July has been off to a great start for Disney Plus, especially with awesome new additions like The Mighty Ducks, The Big Green, and Race to Witch Mountain to get the nostalgia train running.
