Grab your snacks, cancel your weekend plans (okay, maybe even your weekdays), because Disney+ is packing August with a lineup that’s hotter than a lightsaber left in the sun. This month’s content drop isn’t just content… it’s context. We’re diving into alternate realities, ancient kingdoms, mental resilience boot camps, and some deliciously dark twists.
Let’s start with Marvel’s new power move—“Eyes of Wakanda.” Picture this: secret missions, lost Vibranium, and war dogs with a license to thrill. This animated globetrotter takes you across timelines as the Hatut Zeraze risk it all to preserve Wakanda’s most precious legacy. It’s got the history, the heat, and all the heroic energy you’ve been missing.
Then there’s “FX’s Alien: Earth”—where dystopia meets AI meets omg what is that monster?! Set in 2120, five mega-corps run the Earth (late-stage capitalism is quaking). Enter Wendy, the first hybrid with human consciousness, trying to survive after a spaceship crashes into Prodigy City. Cyborgs, synthetics, terrifying life forms, if you thought your Monday was rough, try living in this timeline.
On a real-world flex, Chris Hemsworth (yes, that Chris) is back with “Limitless: Live Better Now.” Watch him drum for cognitive gains, hang off icy cliffs, and face South Korean special forces training, all to crack the code on living longer and stronger. Honestly, it’s like self-help but with Thor energy. Certified wellness inspo.
Need something a bit more ancient and sandy? National Geographic’s “Lost Treasures of Arabia: The Nabatean Kingdom” drops on August 29th and it’s pure archaeological gold. Explore Petra and Hegra with real-life Indiana Joneses as they uncover urban planning secrets, burial rituals, and how civilizations rose (and fell) in the Arabian desert. Nerdy? Absolutely. Epic? You bet.
Wait, there’s more.
“Eenie Meanie” (22 Aug): High-speed heist thriller where a former getaway driver gets yanked back into the chaos.
“Ralph Barbosa: Planet Bosa” (8 Aug): Your monthly dose of comic genius, ready to roast and roll.
“Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius”, “Go! Go! Loser Ranger! S2 Part 2”, and “LEGO Disney Princess: Villains Unite”, nostalgia meets new gen in full streaming glory.
Whether you’re geeking out with cyborgs, vibing with Wakandans, or meditating with Chris Hemsworth mid-ice wall, August on Disney+ is about escaping the ordinary, one mind-blowing episode at a time.
Adventure, adrenaline, and ancient artefacts await, see you on the stream side!
