As you’ve surely heard by now, Artemis Fowl will not be getting a cinematic run. It was originally scheduled for one, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s now been pulled from the schedule and will instead be hitting Disney Plus.
In fact, we finally know exactly when to expect it – June 12th. It’ll be just one of many, many new movies/TV shows arriving on the streaming service next month and alongside other titles like new episodes of Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, Tarzan and more, it makes up what’s looking to be a fairly decent line-up of new additions.
In total – if you’re to count all the individual new episodes of the various TV series – there are over 40 pieces of content to look forward to in June and below, you can see the full list of what’s headed our way.

So, there you have it. That’s June’s release schedule for Disney Plus, and while there are definitely some titles that stand out here, it’s still a far cry from competitors like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu, who continue to deliver AAA movies and TV shows comprising both original and licensed content.
Then again, Disney Plus is also targeted at a very different audience than those other streaming services and as such, would never carry half the stuff they do. Still, it’s tough to get too excited about what’s on there right now. Truth be told, aside from The Mandalorian, there’s nothing in the way of original content that can be deemed must-watch and unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Artemis Fowl will change that.
