New on Disney+ In March 2024


Kansas City may have won the Super Bowl but it’s Taylor Swift who is still taking victory laps. Nothing if not savvy, the pop megastar will debut an extended version of her blockbuster concert film The Eras Tour on Disney+ in the middle of March. If you’re amongst the new subscribers who signed up just to watch this exclusive release, stick around because the streamer is offering plenty of other fresh entertainment. Here’s everything new on Disney+ Australia.

New Movies on Disney+

One of the best reasons to subscribe to Disney+ is to gain access to fresh movies straight out of the theatres (which isn’t to mention the vast back catalogue of titles). Here’s a hotly-anticipated highlight.

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version)

No one knows how to churn out content quite like Taylor Swift, even if that means revisiting something most of her audience has already seen or heard before. So goes her version of The Eras Tour, which arrives exclusively on Disney+ and features the career-sweeping concert in its entirety. Four acoustic songs and the rock ballad “Cardigan” will all appear in the film for the first time, making it a must-watch for her millions of fans.

Release date: 15 March 2024

New Series on Disney+

Disney+ is releasing a generous bounty of new shows, episodes, and seasons this month. Read on for highlights.

FX’s Shōgun

Adapted from James Clavell’s historical novel, this new mini-series has been rapturously received by critics and audiences alike (it’s already one of the highest-rated series in IMDb history). Journey back to 17th-century Japan and witness the deadly struggle between various clans as they attempt to fill a power vacuum. At the heart of the story is British sailor John Blackthorne, whose arrival on local shores kicks off a seminal chain of events. We’re barely scratching the surface here so tune in and let the story sweep you away.

Release date: New episodes weekly on Tuesdays

Star Wars: The Bad Batch: Season 3

What’s a new month on Disney+ if not a chance to watch fresh stories ripped straight out of the Star Wars universe? This particular entry employs vivid animation and takes place directly after the Clone Wars. Follow the elite group of mercenary clones known as Clone Force 99—aka the Bad Batch—as they tackle various missions throughout the galaxy. In season three, the clones attempt to save one of their own whilst squaring off against the Empire.

Release date: New episodes weekly on Wednesday

Bob’s Burgers: Season 14

The hit that few saw coming, this beloved animated series is currently wrapping up an abridged 14th season (with fewer overall episodes due to the writer’s strike). Join burger-slinger Bob Belcher and his eccentric family on their endless misadventures, complete with catchy songs and a supporting cast of quirky characters.

Release date: New episodes weekly on Wednesday

X-Men ‘97

This action-packed saga picks up where X-Men: The Animated Series left off and even brings back a number of the original voice actors. The former series left the air in 1997 and so that’s where this one begins, confronting our favourite mutants with a host of new challenges and adventures.

Release date: 20 March 2024

Extraordinary: Season 2

Everyone in the world has a superpower except for twenty-something Jen in this comedy adventure series from Disney-owned Hulu. Season 1 concluded with shocking revelations and Season 2 opens with Jen and her friends trying to be adults. Then again, how much of an adult can a young woman be when she’s dating a superhero named Jizzlord?

Release date: 6 March 2024

Grey’s Anatomy: Season 20

We won’t go as far as to call this medical drama a soap opera but it does seem to be running on similar fumes in its later years. Season 20 debuts in mid-March with episodes arriving on Disney+ shortly after their initial airing. It sees the return of former guest stars Jessica Capshaw and Alex Landi and introduces Natalie Morales as Dr. Monica Beltran, a top pediatric surgeon who occasionally ruffles feathers in the pursuit of quality patient care.

Release date: 28 March 2024

Renegade Nell

Framed for murder and forced on the run, quick-witted Nell Jackson takes up the life of a rogue highwaywoman in this British adventure series. The action goes down in early 18th-century England and wrangles in magical story elements. Nell’s attempt to clear her name puts her on a crash course against the devious Earl of Poynton, who’s plotting to take out the Queen of England. It all comes to us from Sally Wainwright, the creator of previous hit shows such as Happy Valley and Gentleman Jack.
