It's a new year and that means lots of new content on streaming services. Or at least, when it comes to Disney+, it means some high profile new content from major franchises. Disney+ spent most of 2022 going for quality over quantity by providing lots of original content from IP that fans loved, and it looks like 2023 is going to at least start off with this same trend.
But of course, if you're fans of the franchises that will see new content in January, there's little to be frustrated about as there will be plenty to justify your Disney+ subscription. January will see the continuation of the Willow and National Treasure series that ran through December. The month's big new addition will be the second season of Star Wars: The Bad Batch will continue the Clone Wars spinoff series with two episodes hitting on January 4.

The back side of January doesn't have a lot more than additional episodes of The Bad Batch and National Treasure, but the one thing it does have is huge. At one point it was reported that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever would make its Disney+ debut on January 20, but now it appears the film won't arrive until February. The movie, which found a way forward despite the death of Chadwick Boseman, was a massive hit at the box office, so one assumes there will be lots of fans who want to see it again. And anybody who didn't get a chance to see it will have that opportunity very soon.
