Looking for something to watch and want to get the most out of your subscription? Here are all the new TV shows and movies dropping on the platform this month, plus a look at the Disney+ upcoming releases for the start of 2025.
While there are many to choose from, it says a lot that Disney+ is arguably the best streaming service out there right now.
The House of Mouse always has new movies in the pipeline, and once those releases are done in theaters, they now have their own dedicated platform to call home.
Disney is more than just the producer of the best animated movies these days, though. With all kinds of content dropping on the streaming service it can be hard to keep up. So, what’s new on Disney+ this month, and what upcoming releases are heading there in the future?
The best Disney+ releases this month
Disney+’s big drop this month is Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man on January 29, the new animated series that’ll put a fresh spin on Peter Parker’s superhero antics.
Aside from this, Star Wars fans will want to see out Skeleton Crew with Episodes 7 and 8, both of which are dropping this month.

New movies in January
Unfortunately, January is a lackluster month for movies, as Disney+ won’t be dropping any! Instead, they’re focusing on their new TV releases.

Still, Disney and Pixar’s entire movie collection is available on the platform, so now’s as good a time as any to revisit some classics.
Disney+ upcoming releases for 2025
Disney’s next big release is a theatrical one, with Captain America: Brave New World arriving on February 14.
The new movie will see Sam Wilson take up the mantle of Captain America. And with Harrison Ford playing Red Hulk, you won’t want to miss this Marvel political thriller. (Just be weary of the popcorn bucket.)
Beyond this, there’s plenty of great Disney+ exclusives on the horizon, including The Doomies, Daredevil: Born Again and Ironheart.
What’s good on Disney+ for kids?
Disney Plus obviously has all the Disney and Pixar movies to watch at any time, but when it comes to new content this month, kids are going to love A Real Bug’s Life Season 2.
Narrated by Awkwafina, the documentary series is an up-close look at all the creepy crawlies roaming around.
