Thanks to its deep library of timeless classics and burgeoning new series featuring Marvel, Star Wars, High School Musical, and more, Disney+ has one of the more robust offerings when it comes to streaming platform. With so much to choose from, it can be a little daunting to figure out what to watch, so we broke down the 25 best shows on Disney+ for the month.
You can see the full list below:
1. The Mandalorian
Year: 2019
Cast: Pedro Pascal, Carl Weathers, Giancarlo Esposito
Genre: Science Fiction, Action-Adventure
Rating: TV-14
Runtime: 2 seasons
Created By: Jon Favreau
Trailer: Watch here
When Disney+ launched on November 12, 2019, it made a strong start with its flagship series, The Mandalorian. Not only did the show achieve George Lucas’ dream of a live-action Star Wars series, it was a certified hit from the jump thanks to its badass space western vibes, and of course, Baby Yoda. (That’s not his real name, but we won’t spoil it for you.) The series follows Din Djarin, a member of a hidden sect of Mandalorians and a competent bounty hunter, who’s thrust into a much larger world when he’s tasked with handing the show’s adorable green star over to the tarnished remains of the Empire. His decision sets him on a collision course with his people’s past and the mysterious ways of the Jedi.
2. The Simpsons
Year: 1989
Cast: Dan Castellaneta, Nancy Cartwright, Hank Azaria, Julie Kavner, Yeardley Smith, Harry Shearer
Genre: Comedy, Animation
Rating: TV-14
Runtime: 33 seasons
Created By: Matt Groening
Trailer: Watch here
Hailed as one of the greatest comedy series of all time, The Simpsons could’ve easily topped the list thanks to its deep bench of classic episodes that are still the source of memes and GIFs to this day. Thanks to its massive cast of iconic characters that expands beyond just the eponymous family, The Simpsons is practically a time capsule of the past 30 years as the citizens of Springfield spent season after season routinely lambasting everything from pop culture to political scandals. Even if you stick to the first ten seasons, which are widely regarded as the best, that’s over 200 episodes of some of the best comedy on TV.
3. Andor
Year: 2022
Cast: Diego Luna, Stellan Skarsgård, Denise Gough, Genevieve O’Reilly
Genre: Science Fiction, Spy/Espionage, Action-Adventure
Rating: TV-14
Runtime: 12 episodes
Created By: Tony Gilroy
Trailer: Watch here
After The Mandalorian delivered an all-ages hit, Lucasfilm pulled off an impressive feat with Andor, a more mature political thriller that wowed critics with its complex characters, rich storytelling, and dramatic tension. Think Game of Thrones by way of Star Wars. Set five years before the events of Rogue One (which you don’t need to watch to enjoy the show), Andor follows its title character as he evolves from an opportunistic thief to a key member of the burgeoning Rebel Alliance that’s being meticulously brought to life by the ruthless and cunning Luthen Rael played by Stellan Skarsgård in one of his most powerful performances.
4. Loki
Year: 2021
Cast: Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson, Sophia Di Martino, Jonathan Majors
Genre: Science Fiction, Fantasy, Super Hero, Action-Adventure
Rating: TV-14
Runtime: 6 episodes
Created By: Michael Waldron
Trailer: Watch here
After the time-traveling shenanigans of Avengers: Endgame, Loki catches up with its title character in the moments after he uses the Cosmic Cube to escape being captured by The Avengers following the Battle of New York in 2012. However, the God of Mischief’s freedom is shortly lived as he snatched up by the Time Variance Authority, an all-powerful bureaucracy tasked with protecting the “Sacred Timeline,” which Loki threatened with his little time jump. Under the watch of Mobius (Owen Wilson), Loki is given a chance to avoid disintegration if he helps hunt down a culprit who’s murdering their way through time, but what Loki finds will challenge everything he knows about reality and himself.
5. Duck Tales

Trailer: Watch here
In a modern update on the ’80s cartoon that kicked off the Disney Afternoon animation block, a staple of countless childhoods, Duck Tales (2017) is a surprisingly fun jaunt that alternates between hilarious stand-alone episodes and building season-wide arcs. Anchored by the brilliant casting of David Tennant as the voice of Scrooge McDuck, the series brings back the whole gang including the nephews, Webby, and Launchpad McQuack and some memorable faces from the original series. As the show progresses, look forward to seeing some old favorites from the Disney Afternoon pop up, particularly a certain caped crime fighter who flaps in the night.
6. WandaVision
Year: 2021
Cast: Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Kathryn Hahn, Teyonnah Paris
Genre: Romance, Drama, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Super Hero
Rating: TV-14
Runtime: 9 episodes

Trailer: Watch here
WandaVision is the first official Marvel series to hit Disney+, and it continues to be one of its strongest entry to date. Set after the events of Avengers: Endgame, the series immediately gets to work unfolding its mysterious story through a set of genre-breaking episodes set during various sitcom eras. But underneath the idyllic facade of domestic bliss lies a dark secret that will forever change the lives of its title characters. Featuring outstanding performances by Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, and Kathryn Hahn, WandaVision delivers a gripping and heartbreaking tale that showcases Marvel’s ability to bring its A-game to long-form storytelling.
7. Gravity Falls
Year: 2012
Cast: Kristen Schaal, Jason Ritter
Genre: Comedy, Fantasy, Animation, Action-Adventure
Rating: TV-Y7
Runtime: 2 seasons
Created By: Alex Hirsch
Trailer: Watch here
In an absolutely solid example of Disney animation firing on all cylinders, Gravity Falls is a hilariously creative series focused on Dipper (Jason Ritter) and Mabel (Kristen Schaal), two siblings sent to live with their great uncle in a mysterious Oregon town populated with some extremely odd characters. After finding a cryptic journal filled with mystical secrets, Dipper and Mabel embark on an epic two season-long adventure to protect their uncle’s beloved town, and each other, in this cool little series that’s a blast to watch with the whole fam.
8. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law
Year: 2022
Cast: Tatiana Maslany, Ginger Gonzaga, Tim Roth, Mark Ruffalo
Genre: Science Fiction, Comedy, Super Hero, Action-Adventure
Rating: TV-14
Runtime: 9 episodes
Created By: Jessica Gao
Trailer: Watch here
After a string of action epics, Marvel switched things up the genre-defying She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Starring Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk, the series brings to life the classic comic book character who gains her Hulk powers after being exposed to the blood of her cousin Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo). However, Jen’s less interested in being a super hero and more interested in continuing her career as a high-powered attorney — and single lady. Blending together one part Ally McBeal and one part MCU, She-Hulk literally spins the Marvel formula on its head with a fourth-wall breaking legal comedy that hilariously skewers the overly serious world of comic book movies.
9. Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Year: 2008
Cast: Matt Lanter, Ashley Eckstein, James Arnold Taylor, Dee Bradley Baker
Genre: Science Fiction, Animation, Action-Adventure
Rating: TV-PG
Runtime: 7 seasons
Created By: George Lucas
Trailer: Watch here
Years before Star Wars creator George Lucas sold the franchise to Disney, he tried as hand at returning the franchise to its roots by delivering a serialized adventure like the ones he watched as a kid. Utilizing groundbreaking animation that evolved season-to-season, The Clone Wars takes place between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. While episodes center on different characters including Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, and Yoda, at the center is the compelling relationship between Anakin Skywalker and his padawan Ahsoka Tano, who quickly became one of the best Star Wars characters since the Original Trilogy. The Clone Wars also provided fertile ground for The Mandalorian, which has pulled liberally from the animated series’ rich canon.
10. The Owl House
Year: 2020
Cast: Sarah-Nicole Robles, Wendie Malick, Tati Gabrielle, Mae Whitman
Genre: Anime, Comedy, Fantasy, Animation, Action-Adventure
Rating: TV-Y7-FV
Runtime: 3 seasons
Created By: Dana Terrace
Trailer: Watch here
The Owl House is a critically acclaimed, award winning animated series focused on Luz Noceda (Sarah-Nicole Robles), a young Dominican American teen who stumbles onto a portal to a magic world. There she meets the rebellious witch Edna Clawthorne (Wendie Malick), which sets Luz on a path to becoming a witch despite her complete lack of magical powers. Praised for its LGBTQ+ representation, The Owl House has routinely popped up on “Best Of” list thanks to its creative storytelling and inclusive characters. Like Gravity Falls, it’s another example of Disney animation absolutely crushing it.
11. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier
Year: 2021
Cast: Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Daniel Brühl, Emily Van Camp, Wyatt Russell
Genre: Science Fiction, Super Hero, Action-Adventure
Rating: TV-14
Runtime: 6 episodes
Created By: Malcolm Spellman
Trailer: Watch here
Set after the events of Avengers: Endgame, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier catches up with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) as he decides that the best thing to do with Steve Rogers’ shield is give it to the Smithsonian. What he doesn’t anticipate is that the U.S. government isn’t going to let the Captain America mantle go to waste. After christening the decorated Marine John Walker as the new Cap, Sam and Bucky (Sebastian Stan) find themselves at odds with the reckless new “hero” and a group of freedom fighters caught in their path. Along the way, the reluctant partners discover dark truths about the super-soldier serum that gave Steve his incredible strength, and Sam grapples with whether America is ready for its greatest hero to not be a blue-eyed, blonde hair white man. Also, Daniel Brühl’s Baron Zemo dances, and it’s pretty great. You probably saw the meme.
12. The Orville
Year: 2017
Cast: Seth MacFarlane, Adrianne Palicki, Penny Johnston Jerald, Scott Grimes
Genre: Drama, Science Fiction, Comedy
Rating: TV-14
Runtime: 3 seasons
Created By: Seth MacFarlane
Trailer: Watch here
After finding success with the animated comedies Family Guy and American Dad, Seth MacFarlane turned his eye towards delivering a live-action love letter to the sci-fi series of the ’90s. Dropping in with heavy Star Trek: The Next Generation vibes, The Orville mashes together the fun and exploration of space exploration with a sprinkling of MacFarlane’s trademark humor. The show puts a fresh spin on age-old tropes like alternate realities, advanced alien species, artificial intelligence and everything between. The late Norm Macdonald can also be seen in his final performance as science officer Yaphit, who may or not be a talking pile of snot. The jury’s still out on that one.
13. Gargoyles
Year: 1994
Cast: Keith David, Salli Richardson, Jonathan Frakes
Genre: Fantasy, Animation, Action-Adventure
Rating: TV-Y7
Runtime: 3 seasons
Created By: Greg Weisman
Trailer: Watch here
Seemingly pulled off the air almost as quickly as it arrived, Gargoyles has been the holy grail of Disney Afternoon fans as the show became a hard-to-find item even during the heyday of DVD collections. Combining epic storytelling with gritty animation, Gargoyles easily went toe-to-toe with Batman: The Animated Series as one of the best action cartoon series of the ’90s. The show centers on a group of medieval living gargoyles who are dragged into the modern world by a duplicitous billionaire who has plans of his own for the magical warrior. Starring Keith David as Goliath, Gargoyles is a badass punch in the face that you’ll never believe aired between episodes of Tale Spin and Chip ‘N Dale’s Rescue Rangers. The ’90s were wild.
14. Obi-Wan Kenobi
Year: 2022
Cast: Ewan McGregor, Vivien Lyra Blair, Moses Ingram, Hayden Christensen
Genre: Science Fiction, Action-Adventure
Rating: TV-14
Runtime: 6 episodes
Trailer: Watch here
Set 10 years after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan Kenobi brings back Ewan McGregor for his fan-favorite portrayal of the iconic Jedi. Only this time he’s not the brash young fighter from the Prequel Trilogy or the wisened old wizard in A New Hope, he’s a defeated man intent on staying hidden after being forced to kill his trusted pupil Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) who turned to the Dark Side amidst the creation of the Galactic Empire. But Obi-Wan can’t stay hidden forever. He’s called to action by a desperate plea from an old friend. With the Jedi hunting Inquisitors on his tail, Obi-Wan finds himself forced to confront Anakin who survived their final duel and became the twisted machine known as Darth Vader.
15. Moon Knight
Year: 2022
Cast: Oscar Isaac, Ethan Hawke, May Calamawy, F. Murray Abraham
Genre: Fantasy, Super Hero, Action-Adventure
Rating: TV-14
Runtime: 6 episodes
Created By: Jeremy Slater
Trailer: Watch here
In Marvel’s first truly stand-alone series, you can seriously go into this one without seeing a single MCU movie or show, Moon Knight brings to life a classic comic book character unlike anything put to screen. Starring Oscar Isaac as the title character, the show explores one man’s battle with dissociative identity disorder as he’s forced by the Egyptian god Khonshu to become the fierce protector of the night. Or does he? This trippy character exploration will leave you guessing until the very end and features Ethan Hawke as one of the more chilling Marvel villains to date.
16. The Mysterious Benedict Society
Year: 2021
Cast: Tony Hale, Kristen Schaal, Mystic Inscho, Seth Carr, Emmy DeOliveira, Marta Kessler

Rating: TV-PG
Runtime: 2 seasons
Created By: Phil Hay, Matt Manfredi
Trailer: Watch here
In this delightful series starring Tony Hale, four orphans with extraordinary talents and intellect embark on a twee adventure of espionage to thwart nefarious deeds. Think the X-Men by way of Wes Anderson. (Tell us Ryan Hurst isn’t the group’s Wolverine. We dare you.) Based on the popular book series, The Mysterious Benedict Society is a solid family hit thanks to the quirky cast and the show’s mysterious plot filled with twists and turns. The set design is also out of this world and a welcome reprieve from the overwhelming world of CGI effects.
17. Zootopia+
Year: 2022
Cast: Bonnie Hunt, Leah Latham, Alan Tudyk, Maurice LaMarche
Genre: Family, Anthology, Comedy, Animation
Rating: TV-PG
Runtime: 6 episodes

In this series of shorts, Zootopia+ takes viewers back to the animal-filled world of the hit Disney movie and catches up with some old and new characters as they go about their lives.

Using the same animation style as the movie, Zootopia+ is a fun-filled return to the animal city, and fans of Judy Hopps will love to see how the beloved rabbit police woman continues to affect the lives of everyone around her.
18. Ms. Marvel

After becoming a bestseller for Marvel Comics in the 2010s, Kamala Khan made her live-action debut with the critically acclaimed Ms. Marvel. The series focuses on a Pakistani teen in New Jersey who’s obsessed with The Avengers. Through a mysterious family heirloom, she soon comes close to joining their ranks after activating powers of her own. Thanks to its stellar supporting cast, surprisingly hard-hitting action, and pitch-perfect Spider-Man: Homecoming vibes, Ms. Marvel is a kinetic coming-of-age delight punctuated with artistic creativity that the MCU should learn to showcase more.

In the National Geographic series, Limitless, the Thor star travels the globe as he pushes both his body and mind in extraordinary ways. From an epic rope climb to coming to face-to-face with his own mortality, Limitless does more than just showcase what the chiseled Marvel star can do.
