New on Disney+ In November 2023
By Jacob Osborn - Guide Published:
You’ve just watched the latest episode of Loki and you still have a few hours to kill. What do you do? What. Do. You. Do? Okay, okay, this isn’t exactly a nail-biting scenario since you know as well as we do that there are plenty of other series and movies to watch on Disney+. In November, the streaming service brings us a boatload of new shows along with sports documentaries and at least one original film. Here’s everything coming your way.
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 fresh highlight.
Quiz Lady
Awkwafina plays an awkward game show fanatic and Sandra Oh shines as her wild, estranged sister in this upcoming comedy. To get their mother out of debt and save a kidnapped dog, the odd couple join forces and head across the country so that Awkafina’s character can put her game show skills to the test. It all sounds quite delightful so here’s hoping they nail the landing.
Release date: 3 November 2023
New Series on Disney+
Disney+ is releasing a generous bounty of new shows, episodes, and seasons this month. Read on for highlights.
The Artful Dodger
Journey back to 1850s Australia in this historical drama series, which doubles as a spinoff of Dickens’ Oliver Twist. Now a skilled surgeon, former pickpocketer Jack Dawkins is reunited with an old acquaintance and drawn back into a life of crime. Jumping between the respective worlds of surgery and theft, the show promises to keep the stakes high and the blood pumping.
Release date: 29 November 2023
Faraway Downs
Leave it to director Baz Luhrmann to double down on his rare flop, 2008’s historical adventure film Australia. He took leftover footage from the original production and adapted it into this sweeping six-part series. It transports viewers to the Australian outback during WWII, where a widowed aristocrat (Nicole Kidman) and rugged cattle drover (Hugh Jackman) square off against a greedy land baron (Bryan Brown). Is the second time the charm? Tune in to find out.

New on Disney+ FAQs
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.
In recent years, Disney+ has added more R-rated titles to attract adult subscribers. At present, the streaming service boasts R-rated films such sa Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and Logan, with the streaming platform likely to increase its portfolio in the coming months.
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.
