By Lore Apostol / January 14, 2022

The Disney-owned platform has a lot of new content in store for us this year, as a massive selection of movies and series is set to land on the streaming service. We know there are going to be a lot of Star Wars and Marvel series and lots of new Disney and National Geographic content slated for 2022 on Disney Plus. Moreover, some Hulu originals will land on the Star service belonging to Disney Plus.

We got some pretty great Disney Plus originals by the end of last year, such as the exciting Hawkeye series and the Golden Globe-winning Encanto animated movie. For 2022, we are looking at plenty of Disney Plus originals and several other titles. It's pretty early to say for sure if this is the final list since more original programming may be added throughout the year.

Nevertheless, let's see the list of all movies and series coming to Disney Plus in 2022 to look forward to what we know of for now. We should mention you need to subscribe to Disney Plus in order to access its content.

9. Better Nate Than Ever (Spring 2022)

Joshua Bassett plays 13-year-old Nate Foster, an unpopular Midwestern kid who vividly fantasizes about becoming a big Broadway musical star, so you'll love this comedy based on the book by Tim Federle if you're a High School Musical fan. However, the kid can't even get a decent role in his middle school's drama productions, as he gets cast as a tree in the play instead of the lead role he wants. Better Nate Than Ever will premiere on Disney Plus in Spring 2022.

10. Sneakerella (May 13)

This new Disney original movie called Sneakerella is a musical comedy film drawing inspiration from the classic Cinderella, as you guessed, but delivering the story with a twist.

The movie was supposed to premiere on Disney Plus in February, but it was pushed to May 13, 2022, exclusive to the streaming platform.

11. Strange World (November 23)

The original Walt Disney Studios action-adventure animation follows the legendary Clades, a family of explorers who journeys deep into an uncharted and treacherous land populated by fantastical creatures.

12. Baymax (Series, June 29, 2022)

17. Marvel's I Am Groot (Series)

I Am Groot is another of the Disney Plus originals in the form of a series of original shorts. Guardians of the Galaxy's Groot is arguably one of the most loved characters, and that's especially true when we're talking about the baby form, so this new series will be featuring everyone's favorite baby tree.

It follows the elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch as they find their way into the world in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War. The Bad Batch Season 2 is slated for Disney Plus later this year, and since the premiere date for the first season was in May, we could expect this year's launch to be around the same date.

20. Star Wars' Obi-Wan Kenobi (Series, May 25)

This is another sought-after series of the Disney Plus originals. All the Star Wars fans got pretty excited about it since it was announced that Hayden Christensen will reprise his iconic role as the infamous Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader together with Ewan McGregor in the iconic role of our favorite Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
