Disney Plus is a formidable streamer — this is simply a fact. Nearly half a decade after the platform launched, its programming lineup drives steady competition against heavy-hitters like Netflix, Prime Video and Max. Is this even surprising, though? This is one of the best streaming platforms with an extensive library of Marvel and Star Wars titles, as well as Disney classics and modern-day hits like Bluey.
Now that Andor has returned for its second season and Daredevil has relocated from Netflix to the Disney-owned streamer, it’s safe to say Disney Plus has become a must-watch platform. And the aforementioned titles just scratch the surface.
In true Disney fashion, the company’s TV streaming service has something for every family member: riveting comic book adventures, magical tales for young adults, educational docuseries and engaging unscripted shows. And though we’re still two years away from the recently announced Bluey movie, there are plenty of episodes featuring the Heeler family for you and your loved ones to enjoy.
Simply put, the Disney brand has power and is on full display on Disney Plus.
With endless hours of entertainment at your disposal, it’s easy to get lost like Alice down the rabbit hole. That’s where we come in. Below is our curated guide to the best Disney Plus original TV shows. Any of these titles are worth a binge. Just click Play. You’ll be glad you did.

Simply put, I think Andor is the best Star Wars series Disney Plus has made. The program ditches the flashy, and often clichéd, production values of its predecessors and goes all-in on some intense ground-level storytelling. Expanding the story of the characters featured in the one-off film Rogue One, Andor comes through with the emotional stakes thanks to its smart writing and the excellent performances of its cast. Phenomenal stuff, right here.
Daredevil: Born Again
A new spin on Spider-Man lore unfolds in the streamer’s new animated series, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. The show, presented in a nostalgic animation style, explores a different timeline in which Peter Parker (Hudson Thames) is mentored by Norman Osborn (Colman Domingo), who you may know better as the villainous Green Goblin. This’ll be interesting.
Win or Lose
Justin Long led the first installment of Disney Plus’ YA series, and David Schwimmer takes up the mantle of creepy adult in the show’s second season. The gateway horror series takes inspiration from R.L. Stine’s iconic book series. Each season follows a group of teens wrapped up in a supernatural mystery.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew
Agatha All Along isn’t a direct sequel to WandaVision, but the stories are definitely related. Kathryn Hahn reprises her deliciously devilish role in the spooky new series, which follows Agatha and a group of ragtag witches on a journey down the Witches Road to help Ms. Harkness get her powers back. Spoiler: It ain’t gonna be easy.
Star Wars: Visions
Doctor Who kicked off 60 years ago, and since then, the sci-fi series has been revamped multiple times. Actors like David Tennant and Matt Smith helped bring the iconic Time Lord into the present day with the program’s run of modern era seasons. Ncuti Gatwa is the latest actor to take the reins as the Doctor, marking the first time in the program’s history that a Black actor has stepped into the role. Doctor Who made the move to Disney Plus in 2023. New episodes (starting with season 14) will exclusively air on the streamer.
Bluey is a phenomenon, plain and simple. The kids’ show, which follows a family of anthropomorphic dogs — Bluey, her sister Bingo, dad Bandit and mom Chilli — was the most streamed series in 2023, and for good reason. Nearly all the episodes run at around 8 minutes in length, making it an easy binge. And while the tone remains light and playful, the series digs into relevant and poignant topics in a way that never talks down to its audience. Who knew a show about an Australian dog family would be so addictive? Disney Plus knew.
