Disney+: Every Movie & TV Show Arriving in December 2021

Disney+ has some big plans for the month of December. We’re only about halfway through November, but the Disney streaming service has already announced the new additions coming to its roster next month and there is quite a lot to look forward to. Both Marvel and Star Wars have some exciting things happening throughout December, and Disney’s newest movie is making its way to Disney+ just a month after its theatrical debut.

Hawkeye premieres on November 24th and will run for a total of five weeks. Fortunately, there won’t be much of a gap between tentpole shows on Disney+. On December 29th, one week after Hawkeye concludes its first season, The Book of Boba Fett will begin, taking fans back to the live-action Star Wars universe for the first time since The Mandalorian Season 2.

Disney’s new animated film, Encanto, is arriving in theaters this Thanksgiving. If you’re not able to catch it on the big screen, you won’t have to wait too long to see it at home. The movie is coming to Disney+ on December 24th.

You can check out the full roster of Disney+ December additions below!
