You may want to sit down, fans of Disney, or Marvel, or Star Wars, or anything really. 

Disney's D23 Expo just gave us a whole bunch of new info about the streaming service that will be launching on November 12, and it was so much that honestly we're a little overwhelmed. Along with all of the Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel content we already have, Disney+ will feature a gigantic slate of original programming, including movies and so, so many series. 

Some, we had already heard about. Several were a surprise. But at the very least, we know more now about what's coming on Disney+ than we ever have before. We've also got trailers, posters, stills, cast lists, and more, all of which you can find below!

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series

With the launch of Disney+ comes High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, a very meta comedy about fictional teens at the non-fictional East High (where High School Musical was filmed) putting on High School Musical: The Musical

Lizzie McGuire

Hilary Duff will return as Lizzie McGuire in a sequel series, in which an older Lizzie is still navigating life with that animated Lizzie on her shoulder. She's now the apprentice to a decorator in New York, dating a guy who owns a restaurant, and she's about to celebrate her 30th birthday. Original show creator Terri Minsky will executive produce and serve as showrunner, and the whole McGuire fam will be back as well. 

Stars Wars

Not only will all Star Wars content be found on Disney+, but the site will be home to original series, including a new season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars (starting in February) and a Rogue One prequel starring Diego Luna and Alan Tudyk which will be available later on. But first...

 

The Mandolorian

As soon as Disney+ launches, you'll be able to start watching The Mandalorian, a series by Jon Favreau that takes place a few years after Return of the Jedi that follows a lone Mandalorian gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic. 

The show will star Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers, Giancarlo Esposito, and Taika Waititi, with some kind of appearance by Ming-Na Wen as an assassin.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Returns

Ewan McGregor confirmed that he will reprise his prequel trilogy role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in a new untitled series about the character. Scripts are finished, and filming will begin in 2020. 

Marvel Shows

A whole slate of Marvel series are coming to Disney+, including a Loki series starring Tom Hiddleston, a show called The Falcoln and the Winter Soldier starring Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, and an animated series called Marvel's What If... which will explore concepts like what if Peggy Carter had gotten the supersoldier serum instead of Steve Rogers, and Hayley Atwell will return to lend her voice to the resulting Captain Britain. 

Wandavision

Elizabeth Olsen will also play Wanda/Scarlet Witch in Wandavision, a "half classic sitcom, half MCU spectacular" show which will also star Paul Bettany, Kat Dennings, Randall Park, Kathryn Hahn and more! 

Ms. Marvel

Ms. Marvel, also known as Kamala Khan and the first Muslim superhero, will get her own series on Disney+. She-Hulk and Moon Knight will follow.

Lady and the Tramp

A live-action movie is coming, and will premiere November 12.

Stargirl

Grace VanderWaal (of America's Got Talent fame) stars with Graham Verchere, Giancarlo Esposito, Darby Stanchfield, Karan Brar, and Maximiliano Hernandez in a coming-of-age film based on the novel of the same name, by Jerry Spinelli. Stargirl will premiere early 2020.
