Since it launched in 2019 Disney+ has been one of the best streaming services. With 100 years of material to pull from, Disney has one of the most incredible libraries of film and television, and that was before it became the home to Pixar, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, and 20th Century Fox.
If you're a Disney+ subscriber, whatever part of The Walt Disney Company is your particular favorite, Disney+ has something to offer to scratch that itch. The coming weeks are especially big if you're a music fan, as DIsney+ has no less than three major releases covering three of the biggest bands in the world. Queen Rocks Montreal will release the epic concert film with new DTS sound. Let it Be, the famous Beatles documentary will make its streaming debut, and a brand new documentary all about The Beach Boys will also premiere.

The Biggest Disney+ Releases In 2024
Beyond what's new and coming soon, here are some of the big releases to hit Disney+ this year...
Echo - Released January 2024
Echo the Hawkeye spinoff series may have been a somewhat surprising choice for Marvel Studios, but nearly everything about the series was a surprising choice. It was the first TV-MA-rated series produced by Marvel Studios for Disney+. While not all critics loved Echo, it was a successful proof of concept for mature Marvel shows, and we're expecting more in other upcoming Marvel series on Disney+. And the Echo ending is almost certain to have a major impact on the MCU.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians had been attempted on the big screen once before with mixed results. Disney+ took the series, about a young boy discovering he's a demigod, back to the beginning, and reimagined it as a series, and appears to have found a winner. The show's first season was a big hit and a second season of Percy Jackson has been confirmed.
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version
Nobody is a bigger star right now than Taylor Swift, which made it a major coup when Disney+ grabbed the exclusive streaming right to her Eras Tour concert film. Fans now have the ability to watch it whenever they like.
Wish
Wish ticked all the boxes of a great Disney animated film. It had a strong female protagonist, some solid music, and a diabolical villain. Unfortunately, Wish failed to thrill the box office. It had a strong early showing on Disney+, and it appears to have found its home.
The world of streaming is always changing, and Disney+ has a tendency to announce new series and movies coming to the platform with little notice, so follow along with us as we keep tabs on everything coming to Disney+ as it is announced.
