Disney+ Watch Guide: July 2nd-8th

Everything changes this week on Disney+ and this in-between period is going to be a little confusing. Original shows that have already started will continue to launch new episodes on Fridays until their seasons run out, but newly launching shows are taking their queue from Loki and debuting on Wednesdays. To keep things simple, we’ve broken out the “New Exclusives” section by day of the week. New “Library Additions” will also remain on Fridays, so our weekly Disney+ Watch Guide will continue to publish on Fridays, but include the expected releases on Wednesdays. In the event of any surprise debuts, we will update that week’s post to reflect what’s new, so be sure to check back on Wednesdays to make sure you didn’t miss anything. As always, whatever you choose to stream this week, we hope it’s magical.
