The Best Disney+ Shows Right Now, and Where Each One Ends
By Jordan A. · · Updated · 5 min read
Checked September 9, 2026. Disney+ has a particular problem that other services do not: a lot of its best series are chapters in something bigger, so "is this finished" and "do I need homework" matter more here than the star rating does.
This list separates the shows that are complete from the ones still going, and says plainly where each story continues if it continues somewhere else. Everything named below has actually aired. Where each title streams outside the US varies, so the title page on BingeNext shows current options rather than me asserting a region.
Complete, and you can start tonight
Andor (2022 to 2025, two seasons, twenty-four episodes) is the best thing Disney+ has made and it is barely a Star Wars show. It is about how an authoritarian bureaucracy actually functions, the paperwork and the prisons, and how ordinary people get radicalised. It is finished, it lands exactly where Rogue One begins, and you do not need to have watched anything else first. Choose it if you have written off the franchise. The difference from everything around it is that there are almost no aliens and almost no jokes.
Loki (2021 to 2023, two seasons, twelve episodes) is the Marvel series with the strongest ending, and the only one that gives its lead a genuine conclusion. It shares the bureaucratic satire streak Andor has, in a much sillier key. The difference is that it requires knowing who Loki is. Choose it if you want a complete Marvel arc in six hours.
WandaVision (2021, nine episodes) is still the most formally inventive thing Marvel has put on television: a grieving woman trapped in a series of sitcom decades. It is complete in itself. Its sequel, Agatha All Along (2024, nine episodes), is a different beast, a witchy road trip with real theatrical energy, and it also stands alone. Choose either if you want a self-contained nine hours.
The Mandalorian (2019 to 2023, three seasons, twenty-four episodes) is the show that launched the service, and its story does not continue in a fourth season. Lucasfilm moved it to a feature instead, The Mandalorian and Grogu, directed by Jon Favreau. So the series functions as a complete run with a cinema epilogue. Choose it if you want the comfort watch. The difference from Andor is enormous: this is an adventure serial for the whole household.
What If...? (2021 to 2024, three seasons) is the animated Marvel anthology, one alternate timeline per episode, and it concluded in December 2024. It is the only thing here you can watch in any order. Choose it for something to have on.
Moon Knight (2022, six episodes) is a mercenary with dissociative identity disorder and an Egyptian god, and it is the most self-contained Marvel series. Six episodes, no homework. Choose it if you want the smallest commitment.
The Acolyte (2024, one season of eight episodes) was canceled after one season in August 2024. It is worth knowing that going in, because it ends on setup rather than resolution. Choose it only if the High Republic era interests you enough to accept that.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew (2024, eight episodes) is four kids from a suburban planet who find a buried ship, and it is the most charming Star Wars thing in years. Disney has not announced a second season, so eight episodes is what exists. Choose it if you are watching with children, or if you want something light after Andor.
Still going
Percy Jackson and the Olympians (2023 onwards) is the adaptation the films never managed, with a cast that ages alongside the books. Choose it if you have a household with readers in it.
X-Men '97 (2024 onwards) picks up the 1990s animated series with the same voice cast where possible, the same theme music and considerably better writing. Choose it if you want the nostalgia hit that actually delivers.
Daredevil: Born Again (from March 2025) brought Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio back for a nine episode first season, and it is the most violent thing on the service. Choose it if you want Marvel with a crime drama spine.
How to decide between the Star Wars shows
This is the question that comes up most, so here is the short version. If you want a serious adult drama, watch Andor and nothing else first. If you want the version you can put on with the family after dinner, watch The Mandalorian. If you want eight episodes that feel like a 1980s kids adventure film, watch Skeleton Crew. And if you have already done all three and want the era with lightsabers and politics, The Acolyte is there, with the caveat above about how it ends. None of the four requires you to have watched the others.
Two things people ask about
The planned Moana series was reworked into a feature, which is why you will not find it on the service as a show: that material became Moana 2, released in 2024. And Bluey is on Disney+ in the US, which is worth stating in a list like this because it is quietly the best-written thing on the platform in any category, seven minutes at a time.
Where to start
If you want the single best show here and you have never cared about Star Wars, start with Andor. If you want something complete in one weekend, start with WandaVision. If you are watching with kids, Skeleton Crew. And if you want the run with the most satisfying ending, it is Loki.
If you would rather sort by what you already like than by platform, put two favorites into BingeNext TV recommendations and you will get ranked picks with a reason for each and a note on where each one streams. It takes about a minute.
