October is a big month on Disney Plus for Star Wars fans thanks to the highly-anticipated premiere of The Mandalorian season 2. Don’t cancel all your plans just yet, though, as the first episode won’t appear until the end of the month.
It’s just as well that there are some other new additions to the service through the rest of October to keep you occupied until your return to a galaxy far, far away. One such addition is another Disney Plus original series: The Right Stuff. This drama, which follows the famed Mercury Seven astronauts and the early days of the American Space Race, will be making its debut on October 9 with new episodes weekly.
There are some fun flicks being added, too, like X2 and The Sorcerer’s Apprentice while the brand new short Once Upon a Snowman will send us on an adventure with everyone’s favourite sentient snowman: Olaf.
Subscribers in the UK will finally get the chance to stream the latest Pixar hit, Onward while kids and exasperated parents will be delighted as the UK service becomes the new home for Disney Channel, DisneyXD and Disney Junior content from October 1.
Below, you’ll find what’s new on Disney Plus in October 2020. We’ve put a few of our highlights in bold.
