Disney+, if you<\/span> didn\u2019t know, isn\u2019t just for kids. With its ownership of the Lucasfilm brand and the Marvel titles, the streaming service offers plenty of grown-up content in its bid to compete with Netflix and Amazon\u2014and we\u2019re not just talking movies. Since launching the service, Disney has used the name recognition of Star Wars and Marvel to launch scores of TV shows, from The Mandalorian<\/em> to Loki<\/em>. In the list below, we\u2019ve collected the ones we think are the best to watch, from those franchises and beyond.<\/p>\n Also: Because Disney+ merged its content with Hulu in 2024, most of the same shows you might like on Hulu (see our list of picks here) are also available to stream on Disney+.<\/p>\n Want more?

Just one month after the premiere of the new live-action series Ironheart<\/em> (see below) comes this new animated anthology series that delves even further into the Wakanda mythology. Two-time Oscar nominee Ryan Coogler\u2014the man behind both Black Panther<\/em> movies\u2014developed this four-episode prequel in which the Hatut Zaraze, aka Wakanda\u2019s \u201cWar Dogs,\u201d embark on adventure-filled missions to retrieve long-lost Vibranium artifacts.<\/p>\n Ryan Coogler is responsible for what is arguably the best movie in the MCU (2018\u2019s Black Panther<\/em>), and now he\u2019s executive producing one of its most interesting small-screen endeavors. Playwright Chinaka Hodge created this series, which picks up right after the events featured in 2022\u2019s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever<\/em>. It stars Dominique Thorne, who reprises her role as Riri Williams, aka Ironheart, a brilliant MIT student who has successfully managed to create a Tony Stark\u2013like suit of armor. It gives her the kind of invincibility that changes her outlook on the world\u2014and leads her down a pothole-filled path that could see her heroic character go the way of the antihero in a way that critics have described as being similar to The Sopranos<\/em>\u2019 Tony Soprano and Breaking Bad<\/em>\u2019s Walter White.<\/p>\n Ryan Reynolds brings his penchant for turning genres on their heads to National Geographic with a brand-new kind of nature special. The Deadpool<\/em> star narrates and serves as executive producer on this fun docuseries which puts the spotlight on the \u201cunderdogs\u201d of the animal kingdom\u2014those creatures and critters who don\u2019t always warrant the same amount of respect as the kings and queens they share real estate with. Or, as Reynolds calls them, the \u201csuper zeroes.\u201d<\/p>\n Spring 2024 marked the beginning of a new era for Doctor Who<\/em> fans when Ncuti Gatwa was officially handed the sonic screwdriver to take the legendary sci-fi series in new directions as the Fifteenth Doctor. He did it all over again with a second season, which aired a game-changing finale on May 31 that has viewers wondering where the Doctor will be headed next. Russell T. Davies is also back to oversee all the time-traveling shenanigans as the latest incarnation of the Time Lord journeys through space and time with companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), and new addition Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu). While the series will keep its standing as a BBC staple in the UK and Ireland, American audiences will need to head to Disney+ to experience it all.<\/p>\n There are two types of people in this world: those who think there are more Star Wars movies and TV shows that one person needs and those who are counting down the days until The Mandalorian & Grogu<\/em> arrives in theaters next year. If you\u2019re part of that latter group, you\u2019re in good company\u2014and have plenty of series to choose from, including this six-part anthology that follows 2022\u2019s Tales of the Jedi<\/em> and last year\u2019s Tales of the Empire<\/em> (see below). In true Star Wars style, it tells the story of two villains, former assassin\/bounty hunter Asajj Ventress and outlaw Cad Bane, who form an unlikely alliance in an attempt to build new lives for themselves, until Bane catches up with an old colleague, who has switched sides to become a law-abiding marshal. Dark versus light battle it out once more.<\/p>\n Andor,<\/em> which just scored 14 Emmy nominations, including one for Outstanding Drama Series, is something of a miracle. Created by Tony Gilroy, the two-time Oscar nominee behind Michael Clayton<\/em> and a writer on the Bourne<\/em> movies, it\u2019s the origin story of one of Rogue One<\/em>‘s most beloved characters, Cassian Andor (Diego Luna). Set in the early years of the Rebellion, it charts Andor\u2019s path to becoming one of the most integral of the Rebels. With a supporting cast that includes Fiona Shaw and Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd, it features a fantastic score from Nicholas Britell (Moonlight<\/em>, Succession<\/em>). After spending so much time with Mandalorians and Jedis, it\u2019s a welcome reprieve and perhaps the closest thing to prestige TV the Star Wars universe has released.<\/p>\n Thirty years after the Oklahoma City Bombing, Nat Geo takes a look back at the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in US history. The three-part docuseries features rarely seen archival footage and interviews with survivors who are sharing their harrowing stories for the first time. While it\u2019s undoubtedly a tragic story, the series also recounts the inspiring way in which it united Americans.<\/p>\n Daredevil<\/em> fans were devastated when the original Netflix series was canceled in 2018, but Charlie Cox never strayed far from his title role for too long. He popped up as Matt Murdock\/Daredevil in MCU movies (Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/em>) and<\/em> TV shows (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law<\/em>, Echo<\/em>, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man<\/em>), all the while biding his time until his eponymous series came back. Seven years and one massive overhaul later, fans seem to think it was worth the wait. Born Again<\/em> sees Cox facing off against crime lord turned mayoral candidate Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) once more. There\u2019s also a darkness to the series that seems to borrow a page from Christopher Nolan\u2019s Dark Knight<\/em> playbook, though it\u2019s not as elegant in its execution. Still, it\u2019s a solid crime drama that sets itself apart from many other MCU series thanks to its more mature tone. Whether you were into the Netflix series or not, it might be time to dig in.<\/p>\n Will Forte, Rhea Seehorn, Ian Chen, Melissa Villase\u00f1or, and Izaac Wang are among the dozens of actors and comedians who lend their voices to Pixar\u2019s very first original animated series. Over the course of eight episodes, this charming series plays out the same events that occur in the week leading up to a middle school softball team\u2019s championship game from the perspective of various characters, including a wise bead of sweat known as Sweaty (and voiced by comedian Jo Firestone). If the title sounds familiar to you, it might be because the series created some controversy back in December when it was revealed that a transgender character\u2019s storyline had been cut from the series. Disney\u2019s reasoning? \u201cWhen it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline.\u201d<\/p>\n Four years after it was first announced, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man<\/em> arrived early this year. The animated series dares to imagine what kind of chaos might have ensued if Peter Parker (Hudson Thames) had been mentored by baddie Norman Osborn\/Green Goblin (Colman Domingo) instead of Tony Stark\/Iron Man. Oh, the horror (and fun)! A second season has already been confirmed, though likely won\u2019t premiere until 2026.<\/p>\n For more than 30 years, R. L. Stine\u2019s Goosebumps<\/em> books have fed the nightmares of young readers\u2014much to their delight (well, usually). Now Disney is inspiring a whole new generation of horror lovers with this fun series, which follows the lives of a group of high schoolers who begin to unravel the terrifying truth about a decades-old murder\u2014and the roles their nearest and dearest might have played in it\u2014in their otherwise picture-perfect hometown. The always-affable Justin Long starred as a teacher who may or may not be possessed in season 1 of this anthology series. Its second, and final, season brought an extended title (Goosebumps: The Vanishing<\/em>), a new cast (including Friends<\/em> star David Schwimmer), and a whole new set of nightmares.<\/p>\n Do you love Star Wars but wish it had more Warriors<\/em>\/The Wizard of Oz<\/em>\/The<\/em> Brave Little Toaster<\/em> energy? Lucasfilm has heard your cries and is here to oblige. For Skeleton Crew<\/em>, they assembled a gang of four youths who get lost in the Star Wars universe and try to find their way home with the help of Jude Law, who plays an \u201cenigmatic scoundrel” named Jod. OK, so Star Wars probably already has enough of those, but who cares? The real treasure is the friends you’ll make along the way.<\/p>\n Add DCI John Luther (Idris Elba) to the long list of \u201cconflicted cops who mean well.\u201d It’s a character archetype that TV viewers have seen dozens of times before, but few actors take it to the level that Elba does. Forget bending<\/em> the rules\u2014Luther dismantles them and has no regrets. Planting evidence? Killing a criminal? Buddying up to a homicidal sociopath who can take the real \u201cbad guys\u201d out on your behalf? Luther has seen and done it all in the name of justice. Somehow it\u2019s hard not to root for him at every turn.<\/p>\n Sig Greebling (Stranger Things<\/em>\u2019 Gaten Matarazzo) discovers an ancient relic that alters the history of the universe\u2014turning Jar Jar Binks into a lightsaber-wielding Sith and Luke Skywalker into Just Some Guy. With the help of a wise old Jedi, Sig must do what he can to piece things back together. Sure, the plotline has all the makings of a typical Star Wars story, but with Mark Hamill and Ahmed Best lending their voices to the minifig versions of the characters that made them famous, it also does so in a way that pokes just the right amount of fun at the canon.<\/p>\n After Kathryn Hahn became the (not-so-surprising) breakout star of 2021\u2019s WandaVision<\/em> miniseries (more on that below), MCU fans were thrilled\u2014but, again, not surprised\u2014when she nabbed her own series with Agatha All Along<\/em>. The long-awaited spinoff takes place three years after the events of WandaVision<\/em>, with witch Agatha (now stripped of all her magical powers) enlisting a teenager (Joe Locke) and a new coven to help her regain her status as HWIC. Aubrey Plaza, Patti LuPone, Sasheer Zamata, and Debra Jo Rupp round out the stellar cast.<\/p>\n Yes, Bluey<\/em> is technically a children\u2019s show. But everyone is welcome to enjoy this animated series from Australia, which centers around an endlessly curious blue heeler pup named Bluey and her family (mom, dad, and little sister). The show\u2019s brevity\u2014each episode clocks in at around eight minutes, and there are also mini episodes that are half that run time\u2014is part of what makes it such a fun and easy watch. But the exploration of everyday feelings and emotions that everyone can relate to (humans, too) have made it a bona fide cultural phenomenon. Rose Byrne, Natalie Portman, and Eva Mendes are among the stars who have lent their voices to the show.<\/p>\n In Free Solo<\/em> (which is also streaming on Disney+), climber Alex Honnold dared to do the unthinkable, becoming the first person to free solo climb the 3,000-foot rock wall of Yosemite\u2019s El Capitan. For most people, that dauntless endeavor would have been enough adventure for one lifetime. But Alex Honnold is not most people, as this three-part National Geographic docuseries makes clear. Here, he travels to Greenland with fellow climbers to conquer more unclimbed spaces in one of the most remote corners of the world. Vicarious anxiety never felt so exciting.<\/p>\n If helping to raise a new generation of\u00a0Star Wars\u00a0geeks was even a small part of your reason for having kids, this animated series, which is basically the\u00a0Star Wars\u00a0version of\u00a0Muppet Babies,<\/em>\u00a0is a great place to start their education. Set during the High Republic era, approximately 200 years before the events of\u00a0The Phantom Menace<\/em>, it follows a group of young Jedis\u2014Jedi Lites\u2014who are sometimes stumbling their way through learning the ways of the Force. Like any good kid series, it also teaches important lessons about life and making a positive difference in the world.<\/p>\n A Jedi turning to the Dark Side is a concept as old as the Star Wars franchise itself, and not something fans have given much thought to in terms of the \u201cwhy.\u201d But this Disney+ series dares to ask that question, and plays out a bit like a true crime procedural in a sci-fi landscape. Carrie-Anne Moss stars as a Jedi Master, and if her character seems a bit like Trinity from The Matrix<\/em> series, that\u2019s by design. Series creator Leslye Headland told Empire that the character owes much of its inspiration to the Wachowskis\u2019 movies and that Moss\u2019 Indara is basically \u201cTrinity with a lightsaber.\u201d In August, Disney announced that one season is all we\u2019re going to get of The Acolyte<\/em>, so savor all eight episodes.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been more than five years since Disney released the last Star Wars movie, and The Mandalorian & Grogu<\/em> won’t arrive until May 22, 2026. Fortunately, Disney+ has plenty of TV series to fill the void, including this animated anthology that adds new stories about the franchise\u2019s Galactic empire, in the same time period in which the original trilogy existed. It follows the very different journeys of two characters: Morgan Elsbeth (Diana Lee Inosanto), a Force-sensitive human and member of the Nightsister coven who, after being one of the few of her people to survive the Clone Wars, is seeking revenge. Meanwhile, Barriss Offee (Meredith Salenger) is a former Jedi who is questioning her own disillusionment with the order and what her road ahead looks like. Both are forced to make decisions that will change their individual destinies, and the galaxy far, far away with it.<\/p>\n Of all the big-budget X-Men<\/em> movies and TV shows that have existed over the years, it\u2019s hard to believe that a cartoon series from the \u201990s is one of the most beloved entries. But it\u2019s true\u2014and has a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score to prove it. When the revival arrived in 2024, many of the original voice actors returned to reclaim their characters, who must learn how to navigate a world without Professor Xavier to guide them. The events of this series pick up just one year after the point where the original show (which you can read more about below) ended.<\/p>\n Louisa Harland shines as Nell Jackson, the renegade of the title, who accidentally becomes one of the most feared highwaywomen in 18th-century England after she is framed for murder. Of course, this being a Disney series, it\u2019s best to expect something a little magical\u2014which in Nell\u2019s case is Billy Blind, a magical sprite sent to help her realize her true destiny. What is<\/em> surprising is that the series, which is perfectly suited to teens and their families, was created by Sally Wainwright, the brilliant mind behind such adult-themed series as Happy Valley<\/em> and Gentleman Jack<\/em>.<\/p>\n Nineties kids no doubt remember this sitcom about a family of dinosaurs. Earl Sinclair is a fortysomething megalosaurus living with his family in Pangaea circa 60,000,000 BC. While his days are spent working as a tree pusher (yep, he pushes over trees), he lives for his family: wife Fran and kids Robbie, Charlene, and Baby Sinclair, whose running gag of hitting his dad over the head with a frying pan and shouting \u201cGotta love me!\u201d never gets old. Not even three decades on.<\/p>\n This Marvel series continues the studio\u2019s recent trend of shining a spotlight on its fearless\u2014and complicated\u2014female characters. In this case, that character is Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox), aka Echo, who is best known to audiences as a baddie from Hawkeye<\/em>. But over the course of its relatively short five episodes, we learn why Maya\u2014one of the MCU\u2019s few deaf characters\u2014must reconcile the events of her past and reconnect with her Native American roots in order to confront the future she has created for herself. Cox may be a relative newcomer to Hollywood, but she deftly manages to shoulder the weight of an entire MCU series.<\/p>\n Nearly 20 years after the release of the first book in Rick Riordan\u2019s Percy Jackson<\/em> series, this small-screen adaptation of that first title is being praised for how faithful it has remained to Riordan\u2019s beloved words. Being a tween is hard enough, but for 12-year-old Perseus \u201cPercy\u201d Jackson (Walker Scobell) it gets even harder when he learns he’s the son of Poseidon, god of the sea, and that he has pissed off his uncle, Zeus, who believes that Percy has stolen his thunderbolt. (And you thought having a zit was bad!) Fortunately for Percy there is Camp Half-Blood\u2014a place where demigods like himself can learn to harness their powers and use them for good. It\u2019s there that Percy learns the whole \u201cwith great power comes great responsibility\u201d thing and embraces it\u2014even if he’d rather be playing video games with his friends. A second season is set to arrive in December, with Season 3 already in the works.<\/p>\n Disneyland, Walt Disney\u2019s very first theme park, opened in Anaheim, California, in 1955. In the 70 years since, Disney parks have become a worldwide phenomenon and inspired rabid fan bases who make annual (if not more frequent) pilgrimages to these so-called Happiest Places on Earth. But what goes on behind the scenes? From the creation of major attractions like the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean to its bustling food scene (Dole Whip, anyone?), this docuseries goes behind the scenes of the world\u2019s most famous amusement parks.<\/p>\n The MCU is exhaustingly huge. Yet while Loki<\/em> is undoubtedly part of that universe, the series could just as easily work as a stand-alone piece, and it’s all the more fun and surprising as a result. There are enough plot twists, silly one-liners, and time-travel antics to keep everyone entertained, and even a wisecracking alligator. If that doesn\u2019t do it, Loki<\/em> has a visual effects budget that would put most Hollywood blockbusters to shame. Sure, it\u2019s not the most intellectually stimulating show out there, but Tom Hiddleston does a great job of turning Loki into a fairly complex, interesting character. No word yet on whether there might be a third season in Loki<\/em>\u2019s future\u2014and even Hiddleston is in the dark. \u201cI truly don\u2019t know,\u201d he admitted to Variety<\/em> in 2024, adding: \u201cThere have been other times when I thought that it was the end and I have been mistaken. But if this is the end, I’m so proud of where we ended up.\u201d<\/p>\n Before Disney+ became the home for all of Marvel\u2019s TV content, Netflix was the place to find it\u2014beginning with Daredevil<\/em>, in which blind attorney Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) spends his days seeking justice and his nights looking for revenge as a masked vigilante attempting to rid his Hell\u2019s Kitchen neighborhood of its criminal element. While the series ended in 2018, Cox has reprised his role for a new series, Daredevil: Born Again<\/em>, which arrived in early March (see above).<\/p>\n We know what you\u2019re thinking: Wait, another<\/em> Star Wars series? And we don\u2019t blame you for asking the question. But for old-school franchise fans, Ahsoka<\/em> just might surprise you. Rosario Dawson reprises the title role as Ahsoka Tano, a former Jedi who studied under Anakin Skywalker, which she first played in season 2 of The Mandalorian<\/em>. Here, Ahsoka sets off on a journey to locate Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen, Mads\u2019 brother)\u2014a master manipulator who seems to be on a mission to become the grand ruler of the galaxy. A second season is scheduled to begin production in April, and will welcome Hayden Christensen\u2019s Anakin Skywalker back into the Star Wars fold.<\/p>\n In 2021, writer-producer Saladin K. Patterson (Frasier<\/em>, The Bernie Mac Show<\/em>) rebooted the award-winning, and much beloved, series The Wonder Years<\/em> for a new generation. Don Cheadle narrates the adventures of Dean Williams (Elisha \u201cEJ\u201d Williams), as he comes of age in Montgomery, Alabama, in the final years of the Civil Rights Movement. Both seasons of the worthwhile series are now streaming\u2014as are all six seasons of the original series, which premiered in 1988.<\/p>\n While Black Panther<\/em> may have gotten an official sequel with 2022\u2019s Wakanda Forever<\/em> (which is, of course, available to stream on Disney+), this animated anthology series is in many ways a spiritual successor to that Oscar-winning MCU flick. More than a dozen up-and-coming African storytellers were handpicked to write and\/or direct these 10 short films, which build on the makers\u2019 cultures and histories to paint a fascinating, gorgeously animated\u2014and often dystopian\u2014picture of Afrofuturism.<\/p>\n Oscar winners\u2014and\u00a0Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/em>\u00a0costars\u2014Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan reunite for this Disney+ original series. Jin Wang (Ben Wang) is your typical teenager who\u2019s just trying to get through the day of dealing with high school social hierarchies. But his life is forever altered when he\u2019s asked to serve as a mentor to Wei-Chen (Jimmy Liu), a foreign exchange student who is hiding some pretty big secrets. Like that he\u2019s actually on an otherworldly mission from the heavenly realm and has chosen Jin to serve as his guide. Part coming-of-age tale and part mythological fantasy, the single-season series is a formidable adaptation of Gene Yang\u2019s graphic novel.<\/p>\n For a franchise as varied and diverse as Star Wars, sometimes its output can feel a little same-y. That\u2019s not the case with\u00a0Visions<\/em>. The point of the anthology series is to provide \u201call-new, creative\u201d takes on the Star Wars universe. The first series, which premiered in 2021, featured nine installments from some of the best anime studios in Japan, including Kamikaze Douga and Trigger. The second anthology, which arrived in 2023, broadens the scope further, incorporating work from studios in India, Ireland, Spain, Chile, France, South Africa, the US, and the UK. If you\u2019re looking for the best one-off tales from the Star Wars universe, look no further.<\/p>\n The Mandalorian<\/em> was, and is, exactly what the Star Wars franchise needed. Everything about this Jon Favreau series feels like classic TV\u2014from the episodic adventures to the cameos. Set in the outer reaches of the galaxy, it follows a moody, masked Mandalorian bounty hunter (WIRED cover star Pedro Pascal) and really delivers on the hype with its retro-futuristic robots, salty Space Western vibes, lack of Skywalker baggage, and, of course, Grogu (aka Baby Yoda). The Mandalorian<\/em> really set the tone for what a great Star Wars series could be, and while not every subsequent show has been as good, others, like Andor<\/em>, have lived up to the precedent it set\u2014and proved Star Wars stories can make for great TV. There’s still no official word on a fourth season, but there is one more exciting adventure on the horizon: a movie, The Mandalorian & Grogu<\/em>, which just got a May 22, 2026 release date.<\/p>\n With\u00a0Ms. Marvel<\/em>, Disney manages to combine its knack for producing coming-of-age tween fare with its new role as caretaker of the MCU. Iman Vellani charms as Kamala Khan, an\u00a0Avengers-obsessed high schooler from Jersey City who feels like an outsider in most areas of her life. But when a gold bangle arrives from her grandmother in Pakistan, Kamala begins to realize that all the time she’s spent fantasizing about what life would be like with superpowers might have been preparing her for real life. With one foot in the teen drama world and the other in the comic book universe,\u00a0Ms. Marvel<\/em>\u2014which just happens to feature Marvel\u2019s first Muslim superhero\u2014marks yet another admirable step forward for the company in both innovation and inclusion. In 2023, Vellani\u2019s Ms. Marvel made the leap to the big screen to star alongside Brie Larson in The Marvels<\/em>.<\/p>\n Ewan McGregor has not always had the kindest words for the Star Wars prequels in which he first played the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi\u2014a role he inherited from Alec Guinness, who also had plenty of less-than-favorable things to say about the franchise. So it was somewhat surprising when Lucasfilm announced that McGregor would be donning his Jedi gear again to star in a stand-alone Star Wars series for Disney+. (Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has already said there will not be a second season.) In many ways, however, it allowed McGregor and former costar Hayden Christensen to course-correct some of their earlier work, as it follows a downtrodden Obi-Wan attempting to process his personal and professional disappointment over losing Anakin Skywalker (Christensen) to the Dark Side.<\/p>\n In January 1969, just more than a year before they announced they were breaking up, the Beatles allowed a film crew unprecedented access to the creative process and recording of Let It Be<\/em>, which would be their final studio album. Fifty years later, Oscar-winning director Peter Jackson was presented with the nearly 60 hours of film footage and more than 150 hours of audio that resulted from this project, and he remastered it and turned it into a three-part docuseries. Whether you\u2019re already a Beatles fan or not, the documentary is a fascinating look at the creative process of one of the music world\u2019s most influential bands as they work against the clock to finish recording an album, decide to have a free concert on their label\u2019s rooftop, and occasionally butt heads. Knowing what the subjects do not know\u2014that this will be the last time they perform live together or record an album\u2014only adds to the project\u2019s intimacy. The miniseries won all five Emmys it was nominated for in 2022, including Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series.<\/p>\n Oscar Isaac brings yet another marquee name to Marvel\u2019s growing roster of all-star talents with Moon Night<\/em>. Here, Isaac plays a man with dissociative identity disorder, giving us not one but three distinct characters: mercenary Mark Spector, British gift shop employee Steven Grant, and the mysterious\u2014and seemingly ominous\u2014Jake Lockley. Ultimately, he must face off against himself to get the answers he\u2019s seeking. For Moon Knight<\/em>, Isaac told Empire that he was thrilled to be able to do something \u201creally fucking nutty on a major stage\u201d\u2014and he delivers.<\/p>\n While The Muppet Show<\/em>, which ran for five seasons between 1976 and 1981, is considered a piece of classic television today, it wasn\u2019t always smooth sailing for creator Jim Henson. Henson produced two one-off Muppet specials that were intended to take the show into prime time, but neither came to fruition. Fortunately, the Muppets did have a recurring gig in \u201cThe Land of Gorch\u201d sketches that aired during Saturday Night Live<\/em>\u2019s first season, as viewers of Jason Reitman’s Saturday Night<\/em> learned. When SNL<\/em> became a hit, Henson knew that there was a potentially massive audience for an adult-oriented Muppet show (not to mention celebrity connections to entice plenty of A-list names to host). The rest is Muppet history.<\/p>\n The Punisher<\/em> is yet another Netflix-turned-Disney+ Marvel series that also happens to be a spinoff of Daredevil.<\/em> Like Daredevil, the Punisher (real name: Frank Castle, played by Jon Bernthal) is a vigilante who seems to relish exacting revenge, regardless of the results. He and Daredevil operate within the same universe, and while the Punisher sort of admires Daredevil\u2019s quest for true justice, Daredevil despises the Punisher\u2019s by-any-means-necessary methods. Bernthal brings an intensity to the role that, while undoubtedly violent, also has a sense of humor about it.<\/p>\n If ABC\u2019s TGIF lineup wasn\u2019t a part of your night as a kid, you clearly didn\u2019t grow up in the \u201990s. But Disney+ is happy to right that wrong by housing all seven seasons of the teen sitcom in its library. Corey Matthews (Ben Savage) deals with the ups and downs of growing up and ever-evolving relationships with friends and family\u2014plus that one teacher, Mr. Feeny (William Daniels)\u2014who always has the right answer to your problems, whether you like it or not. As the show progressed and the kids grew up, serious issues like drugs and sex were thrown into the mix, which didn\u2019t always please the network. When the show aired on the original Disney Channel, a few episodes weren\u2019t included in the lineup because of the more mature subject matter. You can also check out all three seasons of Girl Meets World<\/em>, the series reboot (which features Corey as the parent and Mr. Feeny) when you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n Just about six months after Daredevil<\/em> arrived on the scene, Netflix took another chance on a Marvel property with Jessica Jones<\/em>. In this dark dive into the world of superheroes, Krysten Ritter plays a private investigator who gave up her days as a superhero after a major catastrophe. But you can\u2019t deny who you are, as Jessica discovers when it seems like every case that comes her way forces her to confront her past\u2014and the supervillain Kilgrave (David Tennant), who turned her into a shell of her former self.<\/p>\n Yet another in an ever growing string of spinoff TV shows from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Hawkeye<\/em> gives some long overdue attention to Jeremy Renner\u2019s Clint Barton, who in many ways has often seemed like the forgotten Avenger. The supernaturally skilled archer is in most of the ensemble Avengers<\/em> films, but this Disney+ series marks his first solo outing. The show sees Hawkeye teaming up with Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), a precocious twentysomething who shares his skills for slinging arrows but lacks his eye for danger. It\u2019s set during the holidays, and there are shades of Die Hard<\/em> as the eponymous character tries to save the day and make it home in time for Christmas. Let the arguments about whether it\u2019s a Christmas TV show begin.<\/p>\n Monsters at Work<\/em> is the Monsters, Inc.<\/em> spinoff you didn\u2019t know you needed. It picks up the action six months after the end of the iconic Pixar movie\u2014after Sully and his friend and colleague Mike (a giant green eyeball) have reworked the Monstropolis energy grid to run on laughter instead of children\u2019s screams.<\/p>\n Yes, Disney really is milking its Star Wars properties for all they\u2019re worth. The Bad Batch<\/em> is an animated spinoff series set in the aftermath of the Clone Wars, between the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy in the overarching timeline. It follows a group of clone soldiers with genetic defects that give them individual traits and personalities, making them well suited to taking on daring mercenary missions. All three seasons are available to stream.<\/p>\n This slow-burning sitcom parody is unexpectedly compelling. For the first couple of episodes, even hardened Marvel fans will have very little idea what\u2019s going on, as Avengers Wanda Maximoff\/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) live out an idyllic family life in black-and-white 1950s suburbia. Quickly, it becomes clear that something is wrong in the quiet town of Westview, as the world of the show ties into the wider MCU. Olsen reprises her role in Sam Raimi\u2019s Doctor Strange<\/em> sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness<\/em>, which picks up right after the events of WandaVision<\/em>.<\/p>\n After the surreal sitcom stylings of WandaVision<\/em>, the second Marvel show to land on Disney+ covers more familiar ground. It’s an action-packed thriller that follows Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) and Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) as they try to fill the void left by Captain America in the months after the events of Avengers: Endgame<\/em>.<\/p>\n Accessible for kids and adults alike\u2014and undoubtedly one of the best Star Wars TV series on Disney+\u2014this animated series follows a group of rebels led by the former Jedi Kanan Jarrus (Freddie Prinze Jr.) and featuring his force-sensitive Padawan, Ezra Bridger (Ezra Gray). Fan favorite Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein) is another regular character across its four seasons, which do a neat job of fleshing out the time between the end of the prequel trilogy and the beginning of the original one.<\/p>\n Have you got some time on your hands? Well, the 36 seasons of The Simpsons<\/em> currently streaming on Disney+ should keep you busy. What can be said about one of the longest-running\u2014and arguably most famous\u2014animated TV shows ever made? While the first season is a little patchy by today\u2019s standards, and there are ongoing arguments about when the show went from essential viewing to neglected cash cow, whatever your view, there are literally weeks worth of entertainment here.<\/p>\n If you really want to nerd out, this critically acclaimed animated X-Men series from the \u201990s is worth a watch. In fact, the first two films in the live-action movie franchise drew heavily from this cartoon, which serves as a nice reminder of what can be done with rich source material.<\/p>\n This seven-season series, which is for serious Marvel fans, revolves around S.H.I.E.L.D.\u2019s less super agents, led by Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg). The first season takes a while to warm up, but it really hits its stride in its second and especially third seasons, and it eventually ramps up with a complex plot that ties into the films.<\/p>\nEyes of Wakanda<\/em><\/h2>\n
