Disney+ Day is upon us! Every year, Disney+ celebrates its subscribers with an entire day of new releases and announcements, and this year’s event continues the tradition. We don’t know what kind of announcements Disney+ has in store, especially with D23 taking place this weekend. We do know, however, what movies, TV shows, and specials are being added to the streaming lineup for Disney+ Day, and there’s a lot to look forward to.
Thursday, September 8th is bringing the newest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to Disney+. Thor: Love and Thunder, which was released in theaters this summer, is perhaps the biggest library addition hitting Disney+ this week.

Growing Up (All Episodes Streaming)
“Created by Brie Larson and Culture House, Growing Up is an innovative hybrid docu-series that explores the challenges, triumphs, and complexities of adolescence through ten compelling coming of age stories. The series uses narrative, experimental, and documentary filmmaking to follow one casted individual, ages 18-22, as they tell their story. They represent a wide range of lived experiences, giving audiences emotionally powerful narratives that offer an engaging look at teenage-hood and the diverse social, familial, and internal obstacles young people face on their path to self-discovery and acceptance. Each 30-minute episode features one young person, or “hero,” and their experience growing up. Each episode is anchored by a deeply personal interview that allows our heroes to walk us through their childhood and teenage years. Alongside these interviews, creative cinematic reenactments help bring their major inflection points to life.”
