12th November is now officially deemed Disney Plus Day. It is the date when Disney Plus, the streaming arm of The Walt Disney Company, came into existence two years ago. This year, Disney went all out to celebrate the day, with tons of announcements for new titles, returning shows, first looks at titles announced last year, teasers and trailers of upcoming content, release dates for several titles, and so much more.
With the huge number of announcements, it’s easy miss a few here and there. That is the reason why we’ve collated all the announcements in one comprehensive list for your convenience.
