Goodbye summer, hello new batch of streaming arrivals. Fortunately for those who want summer to last just a little bit longer, Disney+ isn’t heading straight into spooky season celebrations. Instead, the streaming service is getting the live-action Lilo & Stitch, the latest season of The Simpsons, and some MCU and Star Wars spin-offs. It’s a month where Disney+ really goes all in on “entertainment for the whole family,” with something of interest for pretty much anyone.
Let’s get into it: Here’s the breakdown of what’s coming to Disney+ this month.
Everything Coming to Disney+ in September
Ongoing Series
Several series that premiered on Disney+ earlier this year will continue to stream new episodes through September, including Project Runway Season 21, with new episodes every Thursday, and the Japanese docuseries Traveling With Snow Man, with new episodes every Sunday. After premiering on September 16, Season 34 of Dancing With the Stars will continue to stream new episodes as they air every Tuesday.
September 2
- The Rich Eisen Show
- Minnie’s Bow-Toons: Pet Hotel (S1, episodes 6-11)
The legendary sports talk show will simulcast every episode on Disney+ starting September 2 as Rich Eisen also joins the cast of several other ESPN programs. Disney+ will also get the rest of the Season 1 episodes from the Disney Channel’s Minnie’s Bow-Toons spin-off.
September 3
- Lilo & Stitch (2025)
- Reminder (S1, all episodes)
The live-action Lilo & Stitch movie made waves at the box office earlier this summer and currently stands as the second-highest grossing movie of 2025. IGN’s review describes how the remake “retains and often amplifies the most stirring aspects of the rightfully beloved animated film.” On the same day, Disney+ will also get the full first season of the Turkish romance drama Reminder.
September 10
- Tempest (S1, 3 episode premiere)
- To Catch a Smuggler (S9)
Disney+ will premiere Tempest, a Korean espionage series that will release in weekly episode batches, while picking up the latest season of To Catch a Smuggler.
September 12
- How Not to Draw: Shorts (S4, all episodes)
The latest batch of shorts from Disney Channel’s How NOT to Draw series, which features Disney characters interrupting animators’ attempts to explain how to draw them. Very cute.
September 13
- Lost in the Jungle
From Nat Geo, Lost in the Jungle was created by E. Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, the same people behind the documentary Free Solo (which I consider the most terrifying movie of all time). Their latest doc tells the story of siblings who were stranded in the Colombian rainforest from the perspective of the children themselves and the rescuers who worked to find them.
September 16
- Dancing With the Stars (S34, premiere)
Another slate of celebrities will hit the dance floor in a new season of Dancing With the Stars, which will stream new episodes on Disney+ at the same as they air live on ABC on Monday night. Season 34 is arriving during the 20th anniversary of the series and will feature the likes of wildlife guy Robert Irwin, influencer Alix Earle, and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt.
September 17
- Electric Bloom (S1, all episodes)
- Top Guns: The Next Generation (S1, all episodes)
The day after it premieres on Nat Geo, Disney+ will stream Top Guns: The Next Generation, a documentary mini-series following several months of grueling Advanced Flight Training in the Navy and Marine corps. The streamer will also get the first season of the comedy musical series Electric Bloom, which aired on the Disney Channel earlier this summer.
September 19
- Dolphins Up Close with Bertie Gregory
- LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy: Pieces of the Past (four episodes)
- Random Rings: Shorts (S4)
LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy arrived on Disney+ last year, with IGN’s review saying it “has one of the best uses of the multiverse we've seen in a while, with enough funny and wacky cameos to appeal to every kind of fan of the franchise.” Pieces of the Past is a four-episode follow-up that has Sig Greebling and Darth Dev facing a new threat in the galaxy. The series is generally a quirky approach to highlighting some of the more niche tidbits of Star Wars lore.
At the same time, Disney+ will be getting a new dolphin-focused documentary from Nat Geo and the latest batch of the Disney Channel special Random Rings.
September 24
- Marvel Zombies (S1, all episodes)
- Lost Treasures of Egypt (S6)
Back to the MCU, we’re getting the full Marvel Zombies series. The concept, which originally appeared in the comic of the same name, was adapted as a single episode of “Marvel’s What If…?” spin-off series before getting the green light to fly on its own. The new series will continue from that episode, taking place in an alternate timeline of the MCU.
September 26
- Cleopatra’s Final Secret
Another one from Nat Geo, this time for anyone who got way into that Egyptology picture book as a kid. Archaeologist Kathleen Martinez heads to the Mediterranean in pursuit of Cleopatra’s lost tomb.
September 28
- The Simpsons (S36, all episodes)
A moment plenty of us have been waiting for. Season 36 of The Simpsons technically kicked off with the 2024 holiday special, which has always been a Disney+ exclusive. The rest of the new season, which aired on Fox this past spring, is finally heading to Disney+ on September 28.
September 30
- Little Angels (S1-6)
To cap things off, Disney+ is picking up six seasons of Little Angels, a nursery rhyme series for toddlers that reminds me a lot of Cocomelon.
The Latest Disney+ News and Bundles
Disney+ had quite a few updates coming out of August. For one, it was announced that Hulu and Disney+ would merge into one app starting in 2026. Not entirely surprising, given how intertwined the two services have already become, but still a pretty significant shift in the streaming landscape.
Disney+ also launched a new bundle alongside ESPN’s new DTC streaming offering, ESPN Unlimited. Existing subscribers to the Disney+ bundle with ESPN+ will now see their ESPN subscription as “ESPN Select.” A special offer that lasts until January makes the more robust ESPN Unlimited bundle $29.99/month for your first year.
This bundle joins last year’s bundle with Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max, which is still my overall bundle recommendation (in large part because HBO Max has The Batman and Studio Ghibli movies). However, if you’re interested in live sports, ESPN Unlimited is a pretty unbeatable deal.
