Have you resisted signing up to Disney+ after all this time? We think we may have found the show to lure you in. Star Wars: The Bad Batch debuted on Disney+ last week and this is the ideal time to sign up to Disney+ and see why it’s so great, as well as check out the many other shows on the streaming service. There’s no Disney+ free trial but it costs just $8 per month so there’s no reason not to try it.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch is an animated series that acts as a sequel and spin-off from the Star Wars: The Clone Wars series. It focuses on a squad of elite clone troopers known as Clone Force 99, and also known as the Bad Batch. The group has genetic mutations and finds themselves taking on mercenary missions in the aftermath of the Clone Wars. If you love all things Star Wars, you owe it to yourself to check out this spin-off and see a slightly different take on things. Alternatively, if you simply love great animation then you’ll be hooked on this too.

What If? season 2 Disney Plus release suggests that Marvel is burning off shows

This latest move from Marvel and Disney Plus is a head-scratcher

An unlikely team of Avengers in What If? season 2.

After a two-year gap between seasons, Marvel has announced that What If? season 2 will premiere on Disney+ on Friday, December 22. Although the first season of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first animated series was serialized weekly in 2021, What If? season 2 will be releasing an episode per day until the ninth episode (which serves as the season finale) arrives on December 30. That would be strange in of itself, but Marvel is also dropping every episode of its next MCU live-action series, Echo, on January 10 on both Disney+ and Hulu. That's also a first for a Marvel Studios show.

What's behind this sudden shift in strategy? The writers' and actors' strikes kept Hollywood on hold for over six months this year, and that means new shows and movies are facing severe delays in 2024. Surely Disney+ could have used those Marvel TV shows to shore up some of the driest periods ahead. Instead, Marvel and Disney are burning them off as if they have no confidence in them.

Is ‘Family Guy’ on Disney Plus in 2023?

Get the scoop on streaming 'Family Guy'

The Disney Plus sign-up menu is displayed

Whether you can watch Family Guy online via Disney Plus depends on what part of the world you call home. Simply put, Family Guy is available on Disney Plus in some areas, but not all. Why? Well, not all streaming services possess the rights to the popular animated comedy, but that's all changing as we speak.

In short, Family Guy is only available on Disney Plus if you live in one of the countries where Star is included in your Disney Plus subscription. That means countries like the U.K., Australia, and Canada have Family Guy on Disney Plus, but the U.S. misses out.
