Disney Plus has a lot of new shows to stream. There are spin-offs, sequels, prequels, documentaries, and even mockumentaries to choose from.
Highlights from the current lineup include exclusive titles from the Star Wars franchise, like the "The Mandalorian" and season seven of "The Clone Wars," as well as new docuseries, like "Encore!" and "The World According to Jeff Goldblum."
Though the platform's library of original titles isn't as large as Netflix's collection, more new programs are in the works, including shows set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a series based on the "Percy Jackson" novels, and a continuation of "The Mighty Ducks" franchise.
Below, we've broken all the basics you need to know about shows on Disney Plus, including a full rundown of the service's current and upcoming lineup of exclusive programs.
Updated on 05/15/2020 by Steven Cohen: We've revised this article to include the new "Percy Jackson" series that's in development for Disney Plus. We also added new information about the "Lizzie McGuire" show, and removed "Love, Victor" from our list since it will now stream on Hulu instead of Disney Plus.
What is Disney Plus?Disney's new streaming subscription service gives members unlimited access to a growing library of ad-free movies and shows from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and 20th Century Fox. This includes older releases from Disney's vault, as well as a selection of brand-new, exclusive series and films.
Unlike Netflix, however, the original episodic content on Disney Plus is delivered weekly rather than all at once. This makes the experience feel closer to traditional TV but without the ads.
How much does it cost?There are three pricing plans for Disney Plus: $6.99/month, $69.99/year, or $12.99/month if you get a package deal with ESPN+ and Hulu. If you go with an annual plan, you end up paying about $14 less per year than you would with the monthly plan.
