Six years after launch, Disney Plus has grown from a nostalgic vault into a non-stop release machine. The service’s 2024-25 slate shows how quickly the platform cycles from lightsaber spectacles to mockumentary shorts about pre-teens’ dreams.
The Flagship Titles
Marvel and Star Wars still anchor the service. Daredevil: Born Again revives Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio’s brutal face-offs, while Andor keeps earning praise as the most grounded tale in a galaxy far, far away.
Live-action Marvel continues to expand:
- Ironheart picks up after Wakanda Forever, following teen genius Riri Williams
- Marvel Zombies flips heroes into ravenous walkers in a post-apocalyptic corner of the multiverse
- Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man re-imagines Peter Parker mentored by Norman Osborn
Family & Animation Surge
Pixar’s first original series, Win or Lose, tracks a middle-school softball team over eight episodes, each told from a different player’s viewpoint. Between innings, Dream Productions parodies Inside Out’s dream factory with a four-episode mockumentary.
Bluey remains the uncontested toddler champion, but newer entries widen the age range:
- Percy Jackson and the Olympians retells Lightning Thief with a younger cast
- Season 2 of Goosebumps swaps Justin Long for David Schwimmer in spooky YA mysteries
- Star Wars: Skeleton Crew drops a Goonies-style kid crew into an unexplored sector
Docs, Music and Legacy IP
Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour docuseries gives six episodes of backstage access, while Peter Jackson’s The Beatles: Get Back preserves the band’s final rooftop performance in exhaustive detail.
Ncuti Gatwa’s first season as the Doctor streams on Disney Plus outside the UK after the BBC pact expired, and National Geographic’s Underdogs lets Ryan Reynolds narrate odd-animal profiles.
| Series | Genre | Episode Count |
|---|---|---|
| Echo | Marvel crime drama | 5 episodes |
| X-Men ’97 | Animated revival | 10 episodes |
| Muppets Mayhem | Musical comedy | 8 episodes |
Key Takeaways
