Disney Plus kicks off 2026 with a packed lineup of new series, blockbuster movies, and the highly anticipated finales of fan-favorite shows. Discover what’s streaming this January, from Marvel’s Wonder Man to the epic conclusion of Percy Jackson & The Olympians season 2.

January 2026 is shaping up to be a standout month for Disney Plus subscribers, with a fresh wave of original series, blockbuster films, and the return of beloved franchises. Whether you’re a fan of superhero adventures, fantasy epics, or family- friendly classics, there’s something for everyone to dive into this month. Here’s a rundown of what’s new and what you won’t want to miss.

Spotlight on New Series and Season Finales

Leading the charge this month is the debut of Wonder Man, a six-part series that brings one of Marvel ’s more unconventional heroes to the screen. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars as Simon Williams, an actor who unexpectedly gains superhuman abilities after landing a role in a Wonder Man movie. The show takes a playful, self-aware approach to the superhero genre, with Sir Ben Kingsley reprising his role as Trevor Slattery, the infamous actor-turned-fake villain from Iron Man 3. All episodes drop January 27, offering a binge-worthy experience for Marvel fans looking for something a little different.

Meanwhile, Percy Jackson & The Olympians returns for the final stretch of its second season. The story picks up with Percy, played by Walker Scobell, navigating the dangers of Polyphemus’s island alongside Annabeth and Grover. The stakes are higher than ever as Percy races to save Camp Half-Blood and his friends, with the last three episodes promising plenty of action and emotional moments. The season finale lands on January 21, capping off a thrilling run that’s deepened the show’s mythology and character relationships.

Blockbuster Movies and Franchise Additions

Disney Plus is also rolling out a slate of major movies and franchise favorites throughout the month. Fans of adventure classics can revisit the entire Indiana Jones saga, with all four films—Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, Last Crusade, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull—available starting January 1. Other highlights include the arrival of Venom: Let There Be Carnage on January 22 and Tim Burton’s Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children on January 2.

For families and animation lovers, new episodes of Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends (season 4) and Phineas and Ferb (season 5) are set to premiere, alongside the launch of Disney Jr. Ariel – The Little Mermaid on January 28. There’s also a fresh season of Theme Song Takeover and the return of America’s Funniest Home Videos with new seasons starting January 17.
