February 2026 Will Be a Rough Month For Disney+ Subscribers

Sadly, Disney+ subscribers won't have much in the way of new original releases to watch in February 2026. The streamer's 2026 line-up is starting out strong for Marvel fans with three new Disney+ releases. Fans of Star Wars are still being kept mostly in the dark about when they can expect new original offerings outside of May's theatrical release, The Mandalorian & Grogu.

February 2026's official Disney+ blog post confirmed that a rough month is ahead for subscribers, with no original offerings from the House of Mouse's biggest franchises, Marvel and Star Wars, and few other new releases on the way.

Undeniably, the biggest Disney+ release of the month will be The Muppet Show on February 4, a celebration of the show's 50th anniversary and a backdoor pilot for a potential revival. The special is executive-produced by Seth Rogen and features the Muppets meeting musical sensation Sabrina Carpenter.  

The Hulu original spin-off of the Charles Dickens classic Oliver Twist will also continue with The Artful Dodger's Season 2 premiere on February 10, bringing eight more episodes of the 19th-century historical heist in Australia. 

Following the exciting announcement of a third movie, Phineas and Ferb will return with a new short in the Cartoonified spin-off on February 13, this time featuring basketball legend LeBron James. Other celebrity guest stars for the short series have included Percy Jackson star Walker Scobell and YouTuber Mark Rober.

It's unclear why Disney+ left its February slate so lacking, but it may be because Wonder Man landed right at the end of January and Daredevil: Born Again followed in March, allowing for a break between releases. Marvel Studios acknowledged that its overabundance of releases proved too overwhelming for general audiences, so scaling back its output allows for more anticipation to build when its projects eventually release.

The same can be said for Star Wars, with Lucasfilm's Vice President, Franchise Content and Strategy, James Waugh, exclusively telling The Direct that the company is always conscious of maintaining the franchise's "specialness" with its approach to releases.

If Disney+ subscribers can resist binge-watching all eight episodes of Marvel Studios' Wonder Man when it arrives on Tuesday, January 27, they may also have several episodes of the Hollywood satire comedy to enjoy in February.

While the second month of the year may prove to be a bit of a content drought for the streamer, there is still plenty to look forward to on Disney+ for fans of the company's biggest franchises.

Fans won't have long to wait before they return to the TV-MA of Daredevil: Born Again, as the studio doubled down on Season 2's March premiere. Later in the year, Marvel Studios will also offer X-Men '97 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2, VisionQuest, and The Punisher's Disney+ Special Presentation.

Lucasfilm's upcoming projects from the galaxy far, far away this year include the live-action Ahsoka Season 2, the 3D-animated The Clone Wars sequel Maul: Shadow Lord, and anime spin-off Visions Presents - The Ninth Jedi. As of now, there is little to suggest how far into the year any will actually land.
