We’re in the final hours before a new year. Here at IGN, we’re already looking forward to some highly-anticipated video games (looking at you, GTA 6), big movie releases, and plenty of TV shows. In the meantime, though, it’s time to defrost from the holiday season and catch up on streaming.
Disney+ will be kicking off the new year with the return of one of the best movie marathons, the continued release of Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2, and a surprisingly fun Venom movie. Without further ado, here’s everything coming to Disney+ in January.
Everything Coming to Disney+ in January
January 1
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal SkullIndiana Jones and the Last CrusadeIndiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost ArkIndiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
The original Indiana Jones movies were removed from Disney+ in late 2024 after licenses expired with Paramount, but their grand return will kick off 2026. Disney+ will once again stream the first four Indiana Jones movies, which join the most recent release, The Dial of Destiny.
January 2
The Big YearCheetahs Up Close with Bertie GregoryMiss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, Tim Burton’s 2016 adaptation of Ransom Rigg’s dark fantasy children’s book, is finding a new streaming home at Disney+. Samantha Ladwig’s review of the movie for IGN highlights, unsurprisingly, the “imaginative visuals.” The 2011 comedy The Big Year will also be returning to Disney+ after it was removed back in 2022.
January 4

The second season of a documentary series following three Indigenous veterinarians who work across climates and communities in Western Canada.

The crime thriller Made in Korea will release new episodes on Disney+ and Hulu every Wednesday, when we’ll also be getting new episodes of Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2.

From National Geographic, The Tale of Silyan follows an injured white stork’s journey to recovery with a struggling farmer, taking inspiration from North Macedonian folklore.

January 10
The Artful Dodger S1Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends S4 (New Episodes)
The Hulu series The Artful Dodger will be making its way to Disney+ before the second season releases in February. I imagine we’ll see more titles moved between these services as the Hulu library gets fully integrated into the Disney+ app.

America’s Funniest Home Videos (New Seasons)Phineas and Ferb S5 (New Episodes)

January 21

January 22
Venom: Let There Be Carnage
The second Venom movie is making its way to Disney+ after its contracted stint at Starz. Francesca Rivera wrote in her review that “Andy Serkis directs a fun and action-packed sequel that highlights Venom as his own character,” noting that the movie takes itself less seriously than its predecessor. Sony’s Spider-Verse may have reached its end, but I will personally always be grateful we got to witness Tom Hardy having this much fun in a role.
January 23
Minnie’s Bow-Toons: Pet Hotel
January 26
I AM BOXER – (New Episode)
January 27
Wonder Man
One of the only MCU additions this month, Wonder Man was announced back in 2022 and has had quite a development cycle since then. In early 2026, it’s finally happening. The series follows Simon Williams, an aspiring actor who secretly has superpowers. Star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II has described the series as a ‘self aware’ superhero flick, suggesting it will take aim at superhero fatigue.
Our resident comics expert Rosie Knight broke down everything you need to know about Wonder Man when this series was first announced. Feel free to check out what else is coming up for the MCU as well as superheroes as a whole in 2026.

While we don’t have a streaming release date, we do know that Lesie Iwerk, the director behind The Imagineering Story, is premiering a new documentary at D23 on January 8 that will likely come to Disney+ soon after. Disneyland Handcrafted covers the year of development that gave rise to Disneyland, featuring never before seen archival footage.
