If you like pop culture, you’re probably a fan of at least one of the many franchises that Disney owns — and Disney+ has nearly all of them. From The Simpsons and Pixar to Marvel and Disney Channel Originals, Disney+ has a lot to offer, and it’s only going to get bigger. Disney has plans to add more movies, TV shows, and original productions to the already-impressive list of launch titles on its streaming service.
Since launching in November 2019, Disney has been rolling out new additions to the service nearly every week. In the interest of making sure you don’t miss anything, here’s the latest list of new movies and shows coming to Disney+, along with what was recently added to the service. We’ll update the list regularly as additions are announced, and we always indicate must-watch projects in bold.
Note: This list doesn’t include new episodes of ongoing series.

Howard
This documentary recounts the life of one of Disney’s most unforgettable artists, Howard Ashman, the music producer and lyricist responsible for some of the studio’s most iconic songs. The film is written and directed by Ashman’s fellow producer, Don Hahn, and chronicles the prolific lyricist’s work on The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, as well as Aladdin, which was released after his tragic death in 1991 due to AIDS-related complications. Howard is packed with never-before-seen archival footage from the making of many of Disney’s most beloved animated features, showcasing Ashman’s life and legacy.
