Don't endlessly scroll – use our handy list instead!
Whether you're on the hunt for a franchise favourite, a new original drama or a beloved classic series, Disney Plus has something to offer for every type of viewer.
The streamer recently added some brand-new series to its platform that have had the nation talking, including Marvel series Ironheart and the anticipated fourth season of The Bear.
But really, that's just scratching the surface of the litany of shows available to stream on the platform.
Or if you're in the mood for something sure to pack on the laughs and the raunchy drama, Rivals may be the pick for you. Having recently begun production on season 2, there's plenty more to come from the Jilly Cooper universe.
However, with so much choice, it's only natural to hit a roadblock in finding something to watch that'll perfectly scratch that itch. And that's where we come in!
Below is a selection of standout series currently available to stream on Disney Plus - courtesy of Radio Times.
Ironheart
Ryan Coogler's recent work on Sinners has certainly catapulted the filmmaker onto more people's radars, but of course, Coogler has long been known as the brains behind Black Panther and its sequel, Wakanda Forever. Coogler takes on an executive producer role in this new series, which takes place after the events of the second film.
Focusing on young inventor Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), she is determined to make her mark on the world but soon becomes enraptured with the charming Parker Robbins aka 'the Hood' (Anthony Ramos).
Rivals
Across eight episodes, we're taken on a sex-filled jaunt through the '80s as we're propelled into the world of independent television. Sure, most people who don't work within that industry won't know the ins and outs of what it takes to be a big broadcaster, but, like any good series, Rivals chucks us headfirst into the world of TV by way of more relatable themes such as loyalty, power and greed.
In a world obsessed with monetary value and male-dominated workplaces, Rivals creates this shiny fictional setting that isn't actually too far off the mark of reality. - Morgan Cormack
A Thousand Blows
Malachi Kirby, Erin Doherty and Stephen Graham lead this Victorian era boxing drama from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, which follows a newly immigrated man from Jamaica who makes his mark in London. It's a slow-burn of a series, but it builds to a thrilling climax, has style to spare and features some brilliantly complex characters.
Rematch
This six-part drama revisits the landmark 1997 chess showdown between world champion Garry Kasparov and IBM’s supercomputer Deep Blue. Christian Cooke stars as Kasparov, capturing the intensity and psychological warfare of a man facing off against a machine designed to defeat him. With scenes set inside both the tech giant’s inner sanctum and Kasparov’s personal world, Rematch explores the human cost of technological ambition and the dawning age of artificial intelligence. A compelling watch with real-world resonance.
Andor
A standout in the Star Wars universe, Andor follows Cassian Andor in the early days of the rebellion. The series explores his transformation into the hardened operative later seen in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Not only does it delve into the origins of the resistance, but it also offers a compelling look at the inner workings and cruelty of the Empire.
The Stolen Girl
This five-part psychological thriller stars Denise Gough as Elisa Blix, a mother whose daughter vanishes after a sleepover.

The series is a must-watch for fans of intense, emotional crime dramas.
