New to Disney Plus in August 2024: new movies and TV shows

Disney Plus launched last year with most of Disney’s back catalog, but the platform hasn’t reached maximum capacity just yet. In addition to original content like the upcoming episodes of Marvel’s Hero Project, there’s a host of movies and shows wrapped up under other streaming services and licenses. Each month, a few new titles will trickle onto Disney Plus.

The MCU’s first animated series hits the platform, imagining a multiverse of possibilities. Cruella comes to Disney Plus for everyone, not just Disney Plus subscribers. New episodes of Star Wars: The Bad Batch, as well as Turner and Hooch, also land on the service.
