Disney+ is getting a ton of new shows - and the price is going up
Many of us would be lost without streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, even during a normal year. Throw in a pandemic, and people are relying on them even more.
Streaming services are like chips — you can’t eat just one, and prices can add up quickly if you’re paying for multiple options. Tap or click here to find out which popular live TV streaming service recently raised its monthly rates.

The big changes coming for streaming
There are some big changes coming for Disney+, one of the more popular streaming options. Not all of these changes are bad, mind you. They include new projects or spinoffs of popular shows and include Star Wars and Marvel content. Here are some of the more notable debuts making their way to your screen.
The new Disney+ projects
There are dozens of new projects in the works for Disney+ as we speak. These new projects include:
- “The Mandalorian” is getting two new spinoffs: “Rangers of the New Republic” and “Ahoska.” “Star Wars: Lando” is another project that’s early in development.
- “Loki,” a new Marvel series, follows the mischievous brother of the god Thor following the events of the film “Avengers: Endgame.”
- Whoopi Goldberg is reprising her famed role in “Sister Act 3” nearly three decades after the original film aired for audiences worldwide.
- More of National Geographic’s jaw-dropping content will make an appearance on Disney+ with new shows including “Welcome to Earth.”
- “The Handmaid’s Tale” scored an early renewal for season 5 (on Hulu, which you can bundle with Disney+ — but we’ll tell you more on that below). This occurred before season 4 had even rolled out.
- “Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness” will be making its way to Disney+ in the form of a full-length Marvel feature film.
- The Marvel Cinematic (small screen) Universe will grow by three with the addition of “Secret Invasion,” starring Samuel L. Jackson; “Ironheart” with Dominique Thorne as a genius inventor; and “Armor Wars,” starring Don Cheadle.
- Marvel fans may want to take note of two new feature films coming to Disney+: “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.” the third feature in the “Ant-Man” franchise; and another “Fantastic Four” reboot, which introduces Marvel’s most iconic family once again.
- Animated series fanatics should note that “Baymax,” “Zootopia+,” “Tiana” and “Moana, The Series,” as well as “Iwájú,” which will be produced in collaboration with the Pan-African comic book entertainment company Kugali.
