After a year of very little new content, 2021 is set to raise the bar with a whole slate of new movies and TV shows to watch. Disney got everyone excited last year with the announcement of tonnes of new content coming soon to streaming on Disney+.

Here’s every major movie and TV show coming to Disney+ this year.

Raya and the Last Dragon – March 5

Raya and the Last Dragon is the next big project from Disney’s Animation Studios. The film follows Raya as she seeks the last remaining dragon to try and restore a fractured land.

The voice cast features Kelly Marie Tran, Awkwafina and Sandra Oh.

Coming to Disney+ as part of its Premier Access program, Australians can choose to pay $34.99 to stream Raya and the Last Dragon. The film will also be showing simultaneously in Australian cinemas.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – March 19

Audiences won’t have to wait long for more Marvel content after WandaVision ends with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier hitting screens in March. The series will span six episodes that take place after Avengers Endgame.

Both Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie are back as their superhero aliases the Winter Soldier and Falcon, and if the trailer is anything to go by their friendship will definitely be put to the test.

The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers – March 26

In present-day Minnesota, the Mighty Ducks have evolved from scrappy underdogs to an ultra-competitive, powerhouse youth hockey team. After 12-year-old Evan Morrow (Brady Noon) is unceremoniously cut from the Ducks, he and his mom, Alex (Lauren Graham), set out to build their own team of misfits to challenge the cutthroat, win-at-all-costs culture of youth sports today. With the help of Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez), they rediscover the joys of playing just for love of the game.

The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers is said to be 10 episodes long and is a follow up to the hit 1992 film The Mighty Ducks.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch – May 4

Releasing, very fittingly, on May the 4th The Bad Batch is a new animated series from Lucasfilm. It follows the experimental group of clones first introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, who each possess a unique skill.
