New Disney Plus Arrivals July 2026: I’m Watching Devil Wears Prada 2, X-Men ’97 and More


We all know that Disney Plus is the hub for Disney content, new and old, along with Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar and National Geographic. Beyond its familiar classics, the platform adds a steady stream of new movies and shows each month, including original series, Disney Jr. shows, Nat Geo documentaries and older library additions such as sitcoms, reality shows and films.

This July, some favorite franchises return to the platform, including a new season of X-Men ’97, the animated series that first premiered in 2024 to critical and fan acclaim. The show premieres on July 1. Later in the month, you (or your kids, anyway) can also catch a new full-length feature, Descendants: Wicked Wonderland, the fifth film in the wildly popular franchise that breathes new life into familiar fairy tale characters (or their kids, anyway). The new film features the newest adventures of Red and Chloe, the daughters of the Queen of Hearts and Cinderella, respectively.

These titles, plus several new National Geographic shark specials, a new season of Project Runway and much more are arriving on Disney Plus this month. Here’s a look at what we’re excited for.

July 1

Disney

The second season of X-Men ’97 arrives on Disney Plus on July 1. The show, a revival of X-Men: The Animated Series, continues the adventures of the mutant superheroes and leans heavily into nostalgia for the original series, including an animation style reminiscent of many classic ’90s cartoons. The first three episodes of the new season will arrive at once, and new episodes will drop weekly after that until Aug. 12.

July 3

Disney Plus

The Simpsons (Disney Plus Exclusive)

You can currently catch the first 36 seasons of The Simpsons on Disney Plus, and the platform also hosts several bonus episodes that are exclusive to the streaming service. The latest of those exclusives is an episode called Simpsley, arriving on July 3. The noir-ish episode sounds like an homage to The Talented Mr. Ripley, featuring Homer as the mooching houseguest of Seymour Skinner at his Italian villa. (Another Disney Plus exclusive episode: Extreme Makeover: Homer Edition, arrived in June, and a third, a Black Mirror parody called Yellow Mirror, arrives Aug. 2.)

July 5

National Geographic

The Shark Week brand is officially owned by the Discovery Channel, but July typically sees loads of shark-related content across several platforms. This year, Disney Plus is the streaming home for several new programs that will first debut on National Geographic. July 5 marks the beginning of its Sharkfest slate of programming that’ll include specials like Hammerhead Sharks Up Close with Bertie Gregory, Attack of the Samurai Sharks, Shark vs. Giant Croc and Shark Island Showdown.

July 10

Freeform

Project Runway (Season 22)

In 2025, Project Runway was revived for season 21, bringing Heidi Klum back as host after several seasons away, and now she’s back again for season 22. The new season of the fashion design competition series also features Nina Garcia and Law Roach as head judges, Christian Siriano as mentor and Tyra Banks as a guest judge. The show will premiere on Freeform on July 9 and on Disney Plus the next day.

July 13

Disney

Rabbit Hole is a new 10-part variety show that brings together well-known digital creators, including Jesser, Dan Rhodes, Topper Guild and ZHC and Zhong, as they participate in on-screen challenges, games and performances. The series premieres on July 13. (Oh, and it is not to be confused with the 2023 series of the same name, which was a short-lived Kiefer Sutherland spy thriller on Paramount Plus.)

July 17

Disney

Descendants: Wicked Wonderland

Descendants: Wicked Wonderland is a sequel to the 2024 hit Descendants: Rise of Red and follows Red (Kylie Cantrall), the daughter of the Queen of Hearts, and Chloe (Malia Baker), the daughter of Cinderella and Prince Charming, as they learn the hard way what happens when they alter the fabric of time. In this latest fairy tale-inspired adventure, they discover that, by changing the past, they’ve created a new villain in their world, the Mad Hatter (Leonardo Nam). The film premieres on the Disney Channel on July 16 and streams the next day on Disney Plus.

July 23

National Geographic

Pompeii: Out of Time with Tom Hiddleston

Loki himself, Tom Hiddleston, hosts the new three-part docudrama Pompeii: Out of Time with Tom Hiddleston, a limited series that’s part scripted drama, part documentary, depicting what life was like in Italy in the hours before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii. The show will premiere on National Geographic on July 22 and will stream the next day on Disney Plus and Hulu.

20th Century Studios/Walt Disney Co.

The Devil Wears Prada became a meme-worthy and quotable pop culture film after its 2006 debut, while also becoming a symbol of toxic workplace dynamics. In its sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2, you can welcome back Meryl Streep’s Miranda and Anne Hathaway’s Andy for another jaunt in the fashion media world — and this time, the frenemies are in each other’s orbit and have to face a few new threats, including a bossed-up Emily (Emily Blunt), who now works for Dior. Stream it on Disney Plus (and Hulu) on July 29.
