‘Fire and Water: Making the Avatar Films’ (2025)

Premiering on November 7th, this two-part documentary offers a behind-the-scenes look at how James Cameron and Jon Landau created the world of Pandora for the ‘Avatar’ films. Featuring interviews with stars like Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, and Kate Winslet, as well as the talented artists and technicians who pioneered the performance-capture and underwater filming techniques, the documentary—directed by Thomas C. Grane and written/produced by Richard Brehm—explores everything from early concept art and stunt work to the visual effects process. Viewers can expect a detailed look at iconic scenes, the creation of the world itself, and the innovative technology used in the upcoming films.

‘Star Wars: Visions’ (2021)

This animated series is back with a collection of independent shorts that explore the Star Wars universe in new and exciting ways, using different animation styles and genres. Past seasons featured contributions from renowned studios like Trigger and Cartoon Saloon, each creating their own original story. The new episodes introduce both new and familiar characters and themes, focusing on Jedi, Sith, and droids. Instead of having one central creator, each short is directed and written by a different team, resulting in a diverse and visually striking collection.

‘Disney Twisted-Wonderland: The Animation’ (2025)

This animated series is based on a popular game from Aniplex and Walt Disney Japan. It centers around a student who is unexpectedly brought to Night Raven College, a school where each dorm is themed after a famous Disney villain. The character designs are by Yana Toboso, known for ‘Black Butler’. The show combines the drama of school life with magical training, all while unraveling the mystery of how the main character ended up at the college. The anime follows the game’s story, but also adds more detail to the characters and the competition between the different dorms. It will be available on Disney+, further developing the game’s rich story and world.

‘CoComelon JJ’s Animal Time’ (2022)

This preschool show follows JJ as he discovers the world of animals through fun songs, playtime, and easy-to-understand challenges. Each episode is broken into short, themed parts that teach kids animal names, the sounds they make, and where they live, all while helping them develop important social and emotional skills. The show features characters and music from ‘CoComelon’ to help young children learn through repetition and familiar routines. It’s designed with colorful, simple animation that families can enjoy together.

‘Chad Powers’ (2025)

This comedy series takes a popular online character and turns it into a show about an unexpected athlete making waves in football. Each season follows their training, how they get along with their teammates, and how they handle the media spotlight as they try to turn their life around. The show combines exciting sports action with personal stories about the athlete’s life on and off the field, appealing to viewers who enjoy inspiring underdog stories focused on compelling characters.

‘Playback: Together We Are One’ (2025)

I’m so excited about this series! It’s a really cool look behind the curtain at what it takes to put on a big live show. Each episode follows the performers and crew as they rehearse and build everything from the creative ideas to the technical stuff. You get to see how everyone works together – through interviews, old footage, and clips of the actual performance – and how all that collaboration really makes the final show amazing. Each episode focuses on different people involved, from the artists themselves to the people working hard behind the scenes.

‘9-1-1: Nashville’ (2025)

This show is set in a vibrant city known for its music and follows the lives of emergency responders as they deal with intense, life-or-death situations and the impact those events have on them personally. Each episode combines current events with the characters’ individual stories, creating a compelling narrative. The storylines often connect multiple emergency services – firefighters, police, and dispatch – as their worlds intersect. The series maintains the fast-paced energy of previous installments while introducing a new and exciting city setting.

‘Would You Marry Me?’ (2025)

As a total wedding obsessive, I’m really into this series. It’s completely real – no scripts here! – and follows couples through all the big stuff: getting engaged, telling their families, and planning the actual wedding. Each episode focuses on a different couple, and it’s amazing to see their honest conversations and the important choices they make. They jump between showing us what’s happening in the moment and having the couple sit down and explain their story. What I really like is that each episode feels complete – you don’t have to watch them in order, which is perfect for me!

‘High Potential’ (2024)

The show follows a brilliant single mom who uses her incredible problem-solving skills to help the police solve difficult cases. Each episode features a new mystery, while also developing the characters’ stories throughout the season. Based on the popular French series ‘HPI,’ it combines intriguing investigations with personal drama. It’s currently the most popular show on the platform, proving viewers are really enjoying it.

‘Mickey’s Spooky Stories’ (2024)

This collection of Halloween shorts brings together Mickey and his friends for some not-too-scary adventures! Each short is a quick, funny story set in classic Halloween locations like haunted houses and carnivals. They’re perfect for kids and easy to watch again and again, making it a great choice for festive family streaming with a lighthearted tone.
