Disney+ is set to roll out a remarkably diverse programming lineup in August 2025, offering subscribers everything from cutting-edge wellness content and high-energy Marvel adventures to nostalgic family favorites, nature documentaries, and fresh children’s programming. The move reflects the streaming giant’s ongoing strategy to appeal to a broad audience by blending blockbuster franchises, original series, and specialized channels that deliver themed content around the clock.
The month begins on August 1 with the highly anticipated premiere of Eyes of Wakanda, a hand-painted animated Marvel anthology set in the “Sacred Timeline” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The series focuses on the elite Wakandan operatives known as the Hatut Zeraze, tasked with retrieving stolen Vibranium artifacts scattered across the globe and throughout history. With its rich worldbuilding, strong visual style, and connections to Marvel’s wider Phase Six storytelling, the series offers fans both an expansion of Wakanda’s lore and a new visual style rarely seen in Marvel projects.
Just two weeks later, on August 15, Disney+ pivots from action to health and longevity with the debut of Limitless: Live Better Now. Hosted by Chris Hemsworth, the series builds on the actor’s previous explorations of extreme physical challenges but shifts toward practical, science-based strategies for improving everyday wellness. Hemsworth works alongside scientists, trainers, and longevity experts to examine how small lifestyle changes can have long-term benefits, while also testing some of these techniques himself through physically demanding and often unconventional activities.
For younger audiences, Disney+ is introducing new animated adventures alongside beloved returning series. On August 11, preschool viewers will meet a reimagined Tony Stark in Marvel’s Iron Man and His Awesome Friends, a playful yet educational show featuring Ironheart (Riri Williams) and Iron Hulk (Amadeus Cho). Designed to inspire curiosity and creativity, the series comes with a new theme song by Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus, adding a dose of pop-punk energy to its colorful storytelling.
Fans of nostalgia will be treated to the return of The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, which launches its third season this month. The latest installment sees Penny Proud and her friends embarking on humorous and heartwarming adventures that take them far beyond their hometown, offering new cultural experiences while maintaining the humor and charm that made the original series a Disney Channel favorite.
August will also deliver a number of seasonal specials and themed content. Multiple Christmas titles are arriving early, giving holiday enthusiasts an excuse to start celebrating months ahead of schedule. Wildlife lovers can look forward to two new nature documentaries: Wild Vietnam, which explores the country’s diverse ecosystems and wildlife, and The Last Rhinos: A New Hope, a conservation-focused feature highlighting efforts to save critically endangered rhino species.
Family audiences will have even more to enjoy later in the month with LEGO Disney Princess: Villains Unite, premiering August 25. In this animated musical special, iconic Disney villains face off against a united front of princesses, creating a playful and imaginative showdown. Meanwhile, Disney Jr.’s Ariel continues to bring a fresh take on the classic mermaid story, offering new adventures for young viewers alongside other kid-friendly hits like SuperKitties.
Beyond its slate of new shows and specials, Disney+ is expanding its “always-on” offerings with the launch of two continuous streaming channels: Outdoor Adventure Stream, featuring nature, exploration, and travel content, and Princess Stream, devoted to Disney’s iconic royalty and their stories. These channels allow subscribers to enjoy curated programming without the need to select individual titles, adding a more traditional TV-like viewing experience to the platform.
With this mix of high-profile originals, family-oriented programming, seasonal specials, and immersive themed channels, Disney+ is reinforcing its position as one of the most versatile streaming services on the market. The August lineup reflects the platform’s commitment to delivering content that spans genres, generations, and viewing preferences—ensuring that subscribers have something new and engaging to enjoy all month long.
