The 9 Best New Movies and Shows Coming to Disney+ in August 2025
Disney+ is closing out the summer with a surprisingly dense release calendar. The lineup spans high-stakes Marvel premieres, competitive baking, preschool adventures, and timely documentaries. Some titles revisit older content, while others push familiar franchises in new directions. One series in particular is carrying most of the anticipation this month, and we’ve saved that for last.

Winnie the Pooh and his friends spend each episode exploring friendship through gentle play, painting, and storytelling in the Hundred Acre Wood. Season 2 adds more short-form episodes in which Pooh narrates personal routines, introduces his favorite snacks, and invites kids into his world with soft, sensory-friendly pacing ideal for preschool viewers.

This docuseries, originally aired in 2014, follows Asia Monet Ray, a performer on the rise with a family that’s all in on her stardom. It lands differently now, like a time capsule from just before social media took over youth fame. The push-and-pull between drive and burnout is never far behind the glitter.
Low Life, Season 1 – August 13

A rumor spreads through a coastal Korean village in 1977, sparked by the discovery of a sunken Chinese ship. What follows isn’t a rush to solve the mystery, but a slow reveal of buried memories and village secrets. The heat hangs over every scene, and each answer only leads to another question.
Christmas Wars, Seasons 1 and 2 – August 6

This festive competition series pits creative teams against one another in oversized holiday-themed challenges. Candy-cane construction, foam-snow catastrophes, and more tinsel than anyone needs are all standard. It is chaotic, occasionally brilliant, and cheerfully divorced from any real sense of seasonal timing.
LEGO Disney Princess: Villains Unite – August 25

A LEGO showdown puts Disney’s classic villains and heroines on a collision course. Gaston tries to rally Ursula, Jafar, and the Evil Queen for a grab at power, but Ariel, Moana, and Cinderella stand in the way. The result is fast-moving, packed with quick jokes, and full of playful chaos.
Wild Vietnam, Season 2 – August 6

Vietnam’s wildlife isn’t easy to film, but this season makes it worth the effort. Cameras follow everything from tree frogs to sun bears, with minimal commentary and maximum stillness. The series knows when to step back and let the scenery do the talking, even when that scenery includes a snake eating another snake.
Project Runway, Season 21 – August 7

The latest season features fresh contestants and new twists while preserving the core format: timed challenges, sharp critiques, and creative highs and lows. Week-to-week pacing adds tension slowly, and early episodes suggest a slightly more competitive designer field than in recent years.
The Last Rhinos: A New Hope – August 25

This documentary series follows the front lines of conservation efforts aimed at preventing extinction for some of Earth’s rarest animals. Instead of relying on animal footage alone, it highlights the researchers, local partners, and political obstacles shaping what success actually looks like in modern wildlife protection.
Limitless: Live Better Now – August 15

Chris Hemsworth returns to the health documentary genre, this time with his feet more firmly on the ground. Rather than dramatic biohacking stunts, the first batch of episodes explores aging, endurance, and recovery with achievable science-backed changes. It’s structured for gradual improvement, not instant transformation, with a well-produced, accessible pace throughout.
Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends, Season 4 – August 27

This season sticks to its core formula: safe adventure, visual clarity, and superhero teamwork in short episodes. New side characters make brief appearances, and the animation gets a small glow-up. It’s paced for young viewers but still pleasant enough for the adults on background duty.
Marvel’s Iron Man and His Awesome Friends, Season 1 – August 12

This animated series reintroduces Tony Stark through a younger lens, pairing him with a rotating group of Marvel allies in light-hearted, fast-moving stories. It’s a kid-friendly take that emphasizes teamwork and invention without the intensity of the mainline MCU. Early episodes focus on standalone missions with an easy-entry tone.
Naming the Dead, Season 1 – August 3

True crime gets a slower pulse here. Each episode focuses on one cold case using careful reenactments and restrained narration rather than relying on high-drama edits. There’s a quiet weight to the pacing. These mysteries aren’t crafted for quick payoffs; instead, they offer the satisfaction of unraveling forgotten details with careful precision.
Ice Road Rescue, Seasons 7–9 – August 20

This long-running series follows rescue teams navigating dangerous winter terrain across Norway. There’s now a sizable backlog of icy truck recoveries, mechanical failures, and frayed tempers to binge, thanks to three new seasons. It’s intense without dramatizing danger and focuses instead on expertise under pressure in some of the most unforgiving conditions.
Eyes of Wakanda – August 27

Here’s the big one. This four-part Marvel series is the headline release of the month. It follows elite Wakandan warriors from the Hatut Zeraze as they protect Vibranium and their kingdom’s legacy through perilous global missions. The series expands the MCU through grounded storytelling and historical depth.
