This fresh take on Rick Riordan’s cherished books aims to erase the live-action movies from our collective memories. And, for the most part, it accomplishes its task. The eight-episode first season follows the events of Lightning Thief, which is the first book in the series. Thanks to a younger cast and lighter stakes, this Percy Jackson series is positioned to be a YA hit for Disney Plus.

John, Paul, George and Ringo perform for the final time as the Beatles in Get Back on Disney Plus.
This three-part documentary series puts us smack-dab in the creative maelstrom of one of the world’s biggest musical groups. Directed by Oscar-winner Peter Jackson, The Beatles: Get Back gives a cinéma vérité-style look at a band at the top of their game and on the precipice of collapse. This previously unseen footage shows John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr in rehearsal for their infamous rooftop concert at their Apple Corps headquarters on London’s Savile Row. It was their last live performance. It’s breathtaking, inspiring and heartbreaking. And definitely worth a watch.

The Bad Batch is an intense, action-packed spin-off of the celebrated Star Wars animated series The Clone Wars. Audiences have seen the fallout of Order 66 take shape in various forms throughout the Star Wars franchise, but never like this. The Bad Batch follows a squad of elite clone troopers with genetic defects. They may have special abilities, but that doesn’t make them invisible to the top-secret execution order. In turn, the animated series fills in some blanks in Star Wars lore. It does so in an incredibly entertaining way.
WandaVision started it all on Disney Plus. It’s the first original series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to hit the streamer. It’s a genre-bending adventure that finds Wanda and Vision living out different realities inspired by TV sitcoms, from I Love Lucy and The Dick Van Dyke Show to The Brady Bunch and Family Ties. How does the emotional fallout of Avengers: Endgame (and Vision’s death, specifically) affect Wanda? Well, let’s just say her grief takes her down one heck of a weird rabbit hole.
What happens when Captain America hangs up his shield? That’s the question going into Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Here, Sam Wilson (better known as Falcon) and Bucky Barnes (aka the Winter Soldier) buddy up in a surprisingly funny and heartfelt series that deals with trauma, grief and classism as the world picks up the pieces from the earth-shattering events of Avengers: Endgame.
Moon Knight stars Oscar Isaac as Steven Grant, a troubled man with dissociative identity disorder. These aren’t simple anxiety issues — no, Grant actually shares his body with a mercenary named Marc Spector. The discovery of this alter-ego leads Grant on an adventure that pits him against a sinister cult leader named Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) and a gang of formidable Egyptian gods. It’s a trippy ride that may even scratch that Indiana Jones itch.
