There are 23 new titles hitting Disney + and STAR over the month of August, including a select few we’re excited about.
The Bear starring Jeremy Allen White (you may know him as Lip Gallagher) has been making a statement since its premiere on Hulu, scoring a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and gaining a following of fans raving about how good it is – and we can finally see for ourselves here in Australia when it hits Disney+.
Also notable is the new Lightyear animation starring Chris Evans as Buzz, a new addition to the Predator franchise in Prey and two new Marvel series involving a She-Hulk and Groot.
Happy watching.
