While Disney+ lets you access most of Disney’s movies both new and old, there are a lot of TV shows on the service too. From long shows to short shows, shows made for kids or adults, and anything else in between, there are plenty of options to choose from. You don’t have to look too hard to find the next series for you to binge.
A lot of the more recent Disney+ exclusive shows have been limited series, telling their story in one season. Though fans might be interested in more, they don’t renew everything as they don’t have more stories to tell in this format. Though this list may change as time passes if we hopefully see season renewals on some of our favorite shows, for now, these are all the best of the limited series Disney+ currently has to offer.
10 The Crossover
The sports drama The Crossover is based on the novel of the same name by Kwame Alexander. Twin brothers Josh and JB are struggling through their coming-of-age story. They both love and play basketball and are important members of their team. However, tension begins to grow as one of the most important matches looms in the near future, with both home and school issues getting in the way. Its drama and the heartfelt emotions it brings are just enough to keep you wanting more at the end of every episode.
9 Parallels
The French sci-fi show Parallels is about four teenage friends who find themselves in the middle of a reality-shifting disaster. The group celebrates the birthday of one of their members in a bunker, but when the lights go out after a power surge, two of the friends disappear. Though they don’t realize it at first, it turns out an experimental particle collider sends them into parallel worlds, where each pair of friends is missing. Now they must figure out how to return themselves back to their normal universe while navigating the changes the collider brought about. It’s a fun show sure to keep you guessing throughout the season.
8 Obi-Wan Kenobi
Obi-Wan Kenobi is a TV series spin-off of the popular Star Wars character. Following the fall of the Jedi after Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith, Kenobi now lives in hiding on Tatooine, trying to look after young Luke from a distance to be there for him when he comes of age. However, his peaceful life is disrupted when Princess Leia is kidnapped, and Bail Organa turns to Kenobi for help. He is hesitant to accept but ends up on a mission around the galaxy as Darth Vader and his Inquisitors chased after him. If you’re a fan of Star Wars, getting to see this missing chunk of time is definitely worthwhile.
7 The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
After Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame, the Captain America mantle was passed onto Sam Wilson. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier shows us what happens after this as Wilson struggles to accept this role for himself, feeling the shoes are too big to fill and that the mantle might be better off retired. However, when the government decides to take the shield he donated and make their own Captain America that doesn’t follow the same beliefs, Wilson and Bucky Barnes get pulled into his mess because they don’t want their friend’s name to be tarnished like this. If you’re a fan of the MCU you should already be familiar with the title characters, meaning this show is one you should enjoy.
6 Moon Knight
The MCU’s newest shift into making TV shows alongside their movies paved the way for Moon Knight, a new hero not mentioned previously in the franchise. Steven Grant is having a bit of recent trouble with his life as he’s noticed he is losing track of time. Sometimes he even thinks he wakes up in different parts of the world. He soon discovers it’s real, and it has nothing to do with sleepwalking. He actually has multiple personalities, and whenever he would fall asleep, Marc Spector would take control of the body again to work as an avatar of the Egyptian god Khonshu. Now that they are both aware of each other, they have to learn how to work together in order to stop a bad and ancient evil from taking over the world. With a lot of action and great actors, it’s a show you don’t want to miss.
5 The Muppets Mayhem
The Muppets is a classic show that almost everyone can recognize by name, even if they never watched anything the puppets were in. So, it should come as no surprise that Disney+ decided to make a new spin-off, resulting in The Muppets Mayhem. This series follows the Muppets’ musical group, Dr. Teeth, and the Electric Mayhem, as they face the modern music business while trying to record their first album. With characters like Dr. Teeth, Animal, Statler, and Waldorf, it should come as no surprise that this show is full of chaos and comedy that everyone can enjoy.
4 Hawkeye
Hawkeye is a series about the titular Avengers hero following Avengers: Endgame. Now that Hawkeye’s family is back, he’s trying to focus on making up lost time and avoiding Avengers work. However, Kate Bishop, a local archery master and fangirl of Hawkeye, accidentally portrays herself as his alter-ego Ronin, forcing him to stay behind in the city to clean up his mess before she gets killed for this mistake. From there, it turns into almost a buddy comedy as they work together to clear everything up. Full of plenty of Easter eggs and comedic bits throughout the intense plot, there’s a lot for anyone to enjoy, whether you’re new to the MCU or not.
3 American Born Chinese
Based on a graphic novel of the same name by Gene Luen Yang, American Born Chinese is an action comedy set in an American high school. Jin Wang, a sophomore struggling to fit in and find himself, is the main character. He is tasked with showing Wei-Chen around the school, who is a new exchange student from China. Though they initially don’t get along well as their personalities clash, it is soon revealed that Wei-Chen is not all who he seems to be, and he pulls Wang into the middle of a battle between two Chinese gods he thought didn’t exist. It’s a great story both to enjoy and to learn more about Chinese culture and religions.
2 WandaVision
WandaVision is an MCU show that starts off innocently but is hiding a surprising amount of secrets underneath it. Despite seeing Vision killed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, the first episode shows Wanda and Vision moving into a house together, and runs just like a classic sitcom might. However, we soon learn that the sitcom is not the real show, for the entire town of Westview is trapped within a barrier forcing them to go through these scenarios. What’s really keeping them there, however, and how Vision came back, is the real mystery that slowly unfolds. The show will keep you guessing the entire time as new surprises and twists continue to develop, keeping you on the edge of your seat.
1 A Small Light
A Small Light is a side of Anne Frank’s story not often touched on. While the contents of her diary remain popular reading and movie material, this biographical drama focuses on Miep Gies, the woman who helped hide the Franks from the Nazis. Gies was hired by Otto Frank several years before the Nazis invaded, becoming his secretary and befriending the family. She didn’t hesitate to help them out when they were in danger and hid them in the attic of the office building, keeping a close eye out for as long as she could until they were found out. It was Gies who also found Anne Frank’s diary in the attic after they were caught, and was able to keep a hold of it so Otto Frank could later publish it. It’s a great piece if you’re into World War II, and it’s interesting to see these events cast in a new light.
