What We Know about Disney+: Release Dates, Price, Shows and Movies, and More

At D23, the Walt Disney Company laid out its plans for its Disney Plus streaming service, calling it “the future of the company.”

Disney’s one-of-a-kind service will not only have classic films and tv shows but will feature new films, series, short-form content, and documentaries as well. And for $6.99 a month (or $69.99 a year), you’re going to get your money’s worth. Oh, and it’s commercial-free. You’re a sly one, Disney.

Let’s take a look at the projects from each studio that will be streaming on Disney+:


Lucasfilm


The Mandalorian (November 12, 2019)

After years of trying to develop a live-action Star Wars TV series, but most were deemed too expensive to make, Disney Plus will finally be releasing The Mandalorian. There are high hopes for this series; it’s already been renewed for a second season. Jon Favreau, the creator, and writer has written next season’s episode and pre-production is on the way. To say that excitement for this series is high would be an understatement. Will you be watching it on November 12th? We can’t wait for this FORCE of a show (Ok, that was FORCE’d).

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (February 2020)

Star Wars The Clone Wars - Disney+

Lucasfilm

Stars Wars: The Clone Wars is BACK! After taking a few years off, and jumping from Cartoon Network to Netflix, Disney+ revives this fan-favorite with a brand-new season of animated fun. It’s rumored to be the final season, so expect something epic. I mean, it’s Star Wars…would you expect anything less?

An Untitled Live-Action Series (Debuting in 2021)

There aren’t too many details about this one just yet, but what we do know is that this will be a spinoff of the Rogue One prequel. The words “spy thriller”, espionage”, “daring missions” have been used to describe this series, premiering in 2021, so we’d say there’s a lot to look forward to. Plus, who doesn’t love Alan Tudyk? We see you, too, Diego Luna.

An Untitled Obi-Wan Kenobi Series (Begining Production in 2020)

This begins shooting in 2020 and Ewan McGregor returns as Obi-Wan Kenobi. Are we blessed? Yes, we are blessed. Obi-Wan’s story was taken off of the Disney table for a while, but they see Disney Plus as a perfect platform to tell it. Thanks, Disney. We owe ya…$6.99 a month or $69.99 a year.


Marvel Studios


The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (Launching in Fall 2020)

Falcon and Winter Soldier Disney+

Marvel Studios

Sam accepted Steve’s shield. We’re going to see the result of that, but it’s all a bit hush-hush at the moment. Not surprisingly. You won’t have to wait too long, though, as this series is launching in the Fall of 2020. So, that’s, like, soon. Grab the popcorn, people!

WandaVision (Premiering in Spring 2021)

WandaVision Disney+

Marvel Studios

This is going to be a weird one. And we are here for it! The cast is describing this series at “bonkers”. Elizabeth Olsen has said, “It’s a mash-up between American sitcoms throughout the decades and Marvel films with these characters.” WHAT? YES. Spring 2021 cannot come soon enough!

Loki (Debuting in Spring 2021)

Loki - Disney+

Marvel Studios

Does this mean Tom Hiddleston can win an Emmy? Set to premiere in Spring 2021, Disney+’s second year, this six-episode season will serve as a sequel to Avengers: Endgame. There are hints of time-travel, and Hiddleston is calling it, “one of the most exciting creative opportunities I think I’ve ever come across.” Well, then. We’re ready.

What If…? (Premiering in 2021)

What If - Disney+

Marvel Studios

This animated show will explore marvel movies and characters in unexpected ways. Showrunner Ashley Bradley says, “…The objective is to hopefully see the majority of characters from all 23 movies. You’ll see multiple characters in an episode.” Worlds colliding? How fun is that?! Very.

She-Hulk

She Hulk - Disney+

Marvel Studios

Jennifer Walters, the cousin of Bruce Banner, receives a blood transfusion from him and becomes the She-Hulk. While Bruce’s rage turns him into The Hulk, Jennifer’s transformation into the She-Hulk is more cool, calm, and collected. Fans are excited to see this character brought to life. And while many details, including casting, haven’t emerged yet, fans are rooting for Yvonne Strahovski.

Moon Knight

Moon Knight - Disney+

Marvel Studios

Moon Knight may not be a household name, but that could all change when Disney+ releases this series. Some fans refer to him as Marvel’s Batman. It makes sense, as he is: A billionaire. Dresses up. Fights Crime. This should be a darker-themed show than most. No release date has been set.

Ms. Marvel

Ms Marvel - Disney+

Marvel’s first Muslim superhero is coming to a streaming service near you! Literally, in your house. Or phone. Wherever you are.

She’s the teenage daughter of Pakistani immigrants, lives in New Jersey, and casually has inhuman blood pumping through her veins. She can stretch her body parts and shape-shift. I’m sorry, how have we not seen a live-action of this before? There is no release date as of yet, but excitement is building for this geeky, stretchy, self-healing, New Jersey teen.

Marvel’s Storyboards (November 12, 2019)
