Disney’s Netflix rival is here, serving up Marvel, Star Wars and Pixar originals, along with a post-modern revamp of High School Musical and almost every episode of The Simpsons. Except, due to both the coronavirus pandemic and Disney’s newcomer status in the streaming game, a lot of that original new content is a while off yet.

That doesn’t mean the House of Mouse isn’t flexing its muscles, though, with September seeing the premiere of new live-action remake Mulan – with a controversial “Premium Access” twist that charges audiences a £19.99 surplus to get early access to the film.

Here’s what’s coming soon to Disney+ UK in September 2020:

Mulan – 4th September

Acclaimed filmmaker Niki Caro brings the epic tale of China’s legendary warrior to life in Disney’s Mulan, in which a fearless young woman risks everything out of love for her family and her country to become one of the greatest warriors China has ever known. The film is available on Disney+ for an additional one-off fee of £19.99, which buys “Premier Access” to the film before it arrives on regular Disney+ in the future.

Earth to Ned: Season 1 – 4th September

From the Jim Henson Company comes a late-night talk show hosted by alien commander Ned and his lieutenant, Cornelius, who call off their invasion of Earth after they fall in love with our human culture. Broadcasting from the bridge of their spaceship, hidden deep underground, Ned and Cornelius interview Earth’s greatest resource, celebrities.

Secret Society of Second-Born Royals – 25th September

Becoming: Season 1 – 18th September

Loved ones share never-before-heard stories that showcase each subject’s inspirational journey towards becoming a star.

Spies in Disguise – 11th September

In this high-flying animated comedy, super spy Lance Sterling (Will Smith) and scientist Walter Beckett (Tom Holland) are almost exact opposites. Lance is smooth, suave and debonair. Walter is none of the above. But this unlikely duo must team up for the ultimate mission to save the world when a “biodynamic concealment” experiment transforms Lance into a brave, fierce, majestic… pigeon.

Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom – 25th September

Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, narrated by Disney fan-favorite Josh Gad, gives viewers a backstage pass to explore the magic behind two of the world’s most beloved animal experiences, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park and The Seas with Nemo & Friends at EPCOT.
