Disney Plus Is Adding 12 New Movies/TV Shows This Week

Now that subscribers have had a couple of days to work their way through this past Friday’s haul, let’s take a look at what’s arriving on Disney Plus this coming week. It’s a big one, too, as the Mouse House’s platform has a bunch of great classic content on the way, as well as a handful of original titles. And as a bonus, there’s even something new due on Thursday before the rest of the fresh additions drop on Friday.

Thursday sees the premiere of Secrets of the Whales, a National Geographic miniseries narrated by Sigourney Weaver. Another NG title lands a day later on Friday as well in the form of royal documentary Being the Queen, which takes a look at the life of Queen Elizabeth II. Elsewhere, younger viewers can enjoy the third season of Disney Junior Puppy Dog Pals.

Disney Channel lovers, meanwhile, will want to tuck into the complete collection of Liv and Maddie, the hit teen sitcom that launched Dove Cameron’s career. All four seasons of the show, which see Cameron on double duty as the titular twins, are debuting on D+, shortly after leaving Netflix.

The only movie going up this week, meanwhile, is Baby’s Day Out, a 1994 comedy from 20th Century Fox. Starring Criminal Minds’ Joe Mantegna, it’s a Home Alone-alike slapstick caper in which a baby makes life difficult for a trio of crooks who try to kidnap it.

Moving on to the originals, and be sure to catch the latest episode of Disney My Music Story, which this time shines the spotlight on Japanese rock/jazz duo Sukima Switch. Then there are three more installments of D+’s current crop of weekly series – the second outing of sports comedy-drama Big Shot, the fifth of The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers and – here’s the highlight of the week – the season finale of Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
