All the Disney Plus news from D23
We got a lot of announcements and sneak peeks into what users can expect from Disney+ when it begins November 12th. Not only do we know content that will be available from the start but also what we can expect to see from Disney+. Read on for all the Disney Plus news from D230 Expo.
The Mandalorian
Ming-Na Wen is confirmed to star in The Mandalorian. This queen was also inducted as a Disney Legend. Princess – Marvel hero – Star Wars bad *ss. I'm here for it.
After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. “The Mandalorian” is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.
Lady and the Tramp
Love the poster for Disney's live action Lady and the Tramp. It's a callback to the famous Bella Notte scene in the original animation. The animals are shown talking Air Bud style instead of like Homeward Bound. It does seem that while it's realistic it's not like The Lion King where the emotions aren't there due to the super realism.
The World According to Jeff Goldblum
See the world through his eyes aka a show I didn't know I needed but I need it. There will be 12 episodes of The World According to Jeff Goldblum where he learns about a variety of topics from shoes and tattoos to ice cream and ghosts.
Noelle
Saving Christmas with some snark? I'm in. Noelle stars Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader. Kris Kringle’s daughter is full of Christmas spirit and holiday fun, but wishes she could do something “important” like her beloved brother Nick, who will take over from their father this Christmas.
When Nick is about to crumble like a gingerbread cookie from all the pressure, Noelle suggests he take a break and get away…but when he doesn’t return, Noelle must find her brother and bring him back in time to save Christmas.
High School Musical The Musical The Series
“Not a reboot. Not a sequel. The start of something new.” The 10-episode scripted series, set at the real-life East High, where the original movie was filmed, follows a group of students as they countdown to opening night of their school's first-ever production of “High School Musical.”
Forky Asks a Question
Forky has a lot of questions he needs answered. In the 10 shorts, Forky explores important questions about how the world works, such as: What is love? What is time? What is money?
Encore!
From executive producer Kristen Bell, Encore is a reality show about a group of friends who were in theatre together in high school getting back together to perform again years later.
Upcoming Disney Plus Shows and Films
Also in development for Disney+ are several shows and films I know fans like myself are excited to see.
Marvel's What If?
There will be 23 episodes of the animated What If? each showing an alternate reality to one of the 23 MCU films.
Ms. Marvel
A Ms. Marvel live action series in the works for Disney Plus. If you're feeling bummed it won't be a movie, the Disney+ shows are meant to tie into the MCU. She can very well crossover from small screen to the big screen.

Hilary Duff will reprise her role for the new Lizzie McGuire series. The show will revolve around 30- year old Lizzie navigating life in New York City.
