Disney+ next month (July 2020) plans to add 60 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup, including 20 originals.
The new titles will include Hamilton (pictured above), the filmed version of the original Broadway production that has wowed critics and theatergoers alike. Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who also stars in the title role, the cinematic Hamilton was expected to be released in movie theaters in October 2021. However, Disney moved up the premiere date due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Also coming to Disney+ in July: Muppets Now, the first episode in the Disney original six-episode, unscripted series; and Solo: A Star Wars Story, the 2018 movie starring Alden Ehrenreich as a young Hans Solo, the character made famous by Harrison Ford. The star-studded cast also includes Woody Harrelson, Thandie Newton, Donald Glover, Emilia Clarke and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
