Disney+ touts an attractive catalog as the streaming home of Marvel and Star Wars. The platform launched in November 2019 with the first live-action Star Wars original series, The Mandalorian, and more entertaining titles, and in the years since has honed the narrative style of its original programming.
The Disney+ platform serves as a continuation of the Disney ethos: family entertainment with a little bit of magic. The acquisitions of Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm allowed the media conglomerate to expand its storytelling into the adult arena, and in 2023, it landed its first-ever nomination for a top honor at the Emmys (Outstanding Drama Series for Andor), marking a milestone for its creative efforts.
There’s something for everyone on Disney+, and like other streamers, it has a collection of titles that aren’t exclusive to the platform but have made the Mouse House its streaming home (that’s why Star Wars: The Clone Wars, while excellent, is not on this list — only its final season was a Disney+ exclusive).
Here are our selections for the 25 best original shows on Disney+, ranked.
