In the current streaming landscape, Disney appears to be focusing most of its original programming for older audiences on Hulu, while Disney+ primarily features content for younger viewers. This month, Disney+ is adding shows like Grown-ish and Are You Sure?!, a BTS-themed travel series, to its lineup. Apart from these, the new additions mainly cater to preschoolers, including SuperKitties and Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures.
Given the limited number of new shows, Disney+ subscribers might want to reassess whether the service is worth its cost. While the platform’s young-skewing shows are great for families with children, Disney+ offers limited alternative programming for adults, even among its National Geographic series. Since its launch in 2019, Disney+ prices have been steadily increasing, yet the content available seems to be dwindling, providing less value for the money.
It seems unnecessary to subscribe to both Disney+ and Hulu to enjoy a comprehensive streaming experience with diverse content. Hulu’s programming lineup for August is impressive, and Disney+ could easily match this variety. Unfortunately, Marvel fans have little to anticipate until late September, when the WandaVision spinoff, Agatha All Along, is set to premiere.
Here’s everything new on Disney+ in August 2024, with our top picks highlighted in bold.
If you haven’t signed up for Disney+ yet or are considering an upgrade, the Disney Bundle is a great deal. For just $14 per month, you get access to three services: Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+.
