On top of Halloween, October 2023 will bring a quartet of exciting new entries on Disney+ from both the Marvel universe and the Star Wars galaxy.
2023 has been another major year for both of Disney’s biggest franchises, with the MCU and Star Wars both combining to bring nearly half a dozen new streaming entries for fans to enjoy.
On top of its theatrical releases, Marvel took to Disney+ to deliver Secret Invasion in the summer along with another new entry coming soon, although a couple of projects were forced into delays until next year.
On the other hand, Star Wars has brought plenty of thrills thus far with The Mandalorian Season 3, Young Jedi Adventures, and The Bad Batch Season 2 along with episodes of one final show continuing for a few more weeks.
Marvel and Star Wars’ Run on Disney+ in October
Disney+ shared an official press release confirming the four projects from Marvel and Star Wars that will debut on the service in October 2023.
1.) Loki
After more than two years away from the small screen, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki will make his return in Loki Season 2 this October.
Episode 1 of Loki’s sophomore season will hit Disney’s streaming service on Thursday, October 5, with the first episode being directed by Moon Knight’s Justin Benson and Aaron Moorehead. The show’s full October schedule will proceed as follows:
- Episode 1 - October 5
- Episode 2 - October 12
- Episode 3 - October 19

Marvel will also change up its release strategy for Loki Season 2, with episodes debuting at 9 p.m. EST on Thursdays instead of at midnight on Fridays.

4.) Ahsoka Finale
October will also include the end of an eight-week run for Star Wars’ latest live-action series, Ahsoka, with the final episode arriving that month after kicking off its release schedule on August 18.
The Season 1 finale will begin streaming on Disney+ on Tuesday, October 3 at 9 p.m. EST, keeping up with the trend that it started of debuting on Tuesday evenings instead of in the middle of the night on Wednesdays.
