What’s coming soon to Disney+ UK in September 2022?
David Farnor | On 28, Aug 2022
Disney+ celebrates its second anniversary this September with what it now calls “Disney+ Day” – an occasion that it uses to unveil all manner of new titles for subscribers. This year, that includes its new live-action Pinocchio, the Hulu series Wedding Season, Thor: Love and Thunder and a making-of its recent Obi-Wan Kenobi series. But it’s later in the month that its big debuts of the autumn arrive, with both Hocus Pocus 2 and Star Wars: Andor dropping onto the service.
Here’s what’s coming soon to Disney+ UK in September 2022:
Wedding Season – 8th September
Hopeless romantic Stefan meets the charismatic Katie, and despite her engagement to the son of a wealthy property magnate, a whirlwind affair begins over a summer of weddings. Before long, they’re on the run from the law, with Katie the prime suspect in a shocking crime. Can they fend off police, organised criminals and their complicated feelings for one another as they try to clear their names?
Mike: Season 1 – 8th September
The 8-episode limited series explores the tumultuous ups and downs of Tyson’s boxing career and personal life – from being a beloved global athlete to a pariah and back again. Focusing the lens on Mike Tyson, the series examines class in America, race in America, fame and the power of media, misogyny, the wealth divide, the promise of the American Dream and ultimately our own role in shaping Mike’s story.
Pinocchio – 8th September
Robert Zemeckis directs this live-action retelling of the beloved tale of a wooden puppet who embarks on a thrilling adventure to become a real boy.

To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi) and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who – to Thor’s surprise – inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor.
