As huge fans of WandaVision, we’re approaching September with a mix of optimism and trepidation. On the one hand, the new spin-off Agatha All Along may be as delightfully unexpected as the miniseries that preceded it. On the other hand, it wouldn’t be the first time that a major studio ruined a good thing by failing to understand what made that thing so special in the first place. What we do know is that we’ll be tuning in to find out for ourselves, and maybe catching some other fresh content while we’re milling around. Here’s everything new on Disney+ in September.

New Movies on Disney+
For Disney+ subscribers, September offers only a handful of new movie releases. Here’s a closer look at an upcoming debut.
She Taught Love
Release Date: 27 September 2024
Actor Darrell Britt-Gibson nabs his first feature screenwriting credit with this romantic drama, in which he also stars. It also represents the feature directorial debut of Houston-based music video director Nate Edwards. The story centres on the life-changing relationship between a self-destructive man (Britt-Gibson) and a woman with limited time left (Arsema Thomas).
New Series on Disney+
Disney+ makes up for its slim movie pickings with a bounty of new series and season releases. Here are your highlights.
Agatha All Along
Release Date: 19 September 2024
WandaVision creator Jac Schaeffer also created this miniseries follow-up and that’s one thing going for it. Set after the events of its precursor, it follows Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) as she escapes from confinement and attempts to regain her magic powers. With help from a mysterious teenager (Joe Locke), Agatha forms a new coven and sets off down Witches’ Road for a series of trials. It already sounds more formulaic than WandaVision, but we’ll reserve judgment until after we’ve caught the first few episodes.
Tell Me Lies: Season 2
Release Date: 4 September 2024
This psychological drama series chronicles the turbulent relationship between Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White). In season 2, Lucy and Stephen return to college on the heels of a harrowing breakup. Yet from the ashes of their intense romance there rises a new and similarly addictive dynamic.
LEGO Pixar: BrickToons
Release Date: 4 September 2024
For all the kids out there (and plenty of adults as well), LEGO and Pixar is a match made in entertainment heaven. So goes this new series of CG-animated shorts, which sends beloved Pixar characters into the land of LEGO for all kinds of exciting adventures. The first season will consist of five BrickToon stories, featuring characters from films such as Finding Nemo and Coco.
How to Die Alone
Release Date: 13 September 2024
Co-creator and star Natasha Rothwell embraces the modern art of not giving a f%#k in this brand-new comedy series. She plays a broke and neurotic airport employee named Mel, whose life is unfulfilled in just about every possible department (including romance). After a near-death experience, Mel throws caution to the wind and starts chasing her dreams. Rothwell grabbed our attention on the series Insecure so we’ll definitely check out this latest endeavour.
New Disney+ Documentaries and Reality
From ocean depths to above the rim, Disney+ is taking you on all kinds of memorable journeys this September. Here are the best documentaries to hit the streamer.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
Release Date: 6 September 2024
Swinging Mormon mom influencers are apparently a thing and this upcoming reality series is here to prove it. The action takes us deep into a social media-savvy sisterhood, which is rocked to its core by a public sex scandal. Can #MomTok survive the fallout? We’ll tell you as soon as we figure out what #MomTok is in the first place.
In Vogue: The ’90s
Release Date: 13 September 2024
This six-episode series revisits the 1990s fashion industry with help from stylish celebrities and Vogue editors such as Anna Wintour. Interviews and archival footage will put viewers in the heart of a thriving fashion scene, where breaking the rules is all part of the game. No one had their fingers on the pulse quite like Vogue Magazine so consider this your all-access pass.
Child Star
In the last few years, we’ve encountered so much disturbing information about the child entertainment industry that the very words “child star” make us shudder. Nevertheless, this new documentary will present both the highs and the lows to offer a more balanced perspective. Co-directed by Demi Lovato, it uses revealing interviews and curated footage to present a sweeping scope of an ever-changing industry landscape.
Release Date: 17 September 2024
After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun
Release Date: 18 September 2024
The campy TV series Baywatch was once the most-watched show in the world and this docuseries wants to know why. Brought to us by a former producer along with former stars Nicole Eggert and Jeremy Jackson, it unpacks the phenomenon by way of cast interviews and rare archival footage. Meanwhile, all they had to do was watch the show’s opening credit sequence to find their answer. We kid, we kid.
Things to Consider for Disney+
When it comes to Disney+, the streamer has no shortage of amazing series, documentaries and movies to watch, but how does it compare to Netflix and Prime Video? To make things easier, we’ve put together a few key considerations to keep in mind the next time you visit the streaming service.
Is There Anything for Adults on Disney+?
Despite being a largely children-led streaming platform, Disney+ is also home to an extensive catalogue of films and series for adults. In Australia, the streamer has the rights to channels such as Discovery, Hulu and Star, giving you access to a host of true crime documentaries and scripted series such as All That We Destroy, Pam & Tommy and many more.
Are There Any R-rated movies on Disney+?
In recent years, Disney+ has added more R-rated titles to attract adult subscribers. At present, the streaming service boasts R-rated films such as Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and Logan, with the streaming platform likely to increase its portfolio in the coming months.
Disney+ vs Netflix
While Netflix has a larger range of new original content, Disney+ is loaded with nostalgic classics and time-honoured favourites, so there is certainly a case to be made that the streaming platform is the top option. If you have kids, Disney+ is the obvious choice, but can also be a boost for adults, due to the streamer’s connections with Hulu and Star.
