Disney Plus to Add 10 New Releases This Week: The 2 to Watch
By Phillip Swann
The TV Answer Man – Buy Me a Coffee!
Disney Plus this week (January 4-10, 2026) plans to add 10 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the two to watch, in my humble opinion:
Tron: Ares (2025)
What Kind of Movie: Sci-Fi/Action
When to Watch: Wednesday, January 7
Who’s In It: Jared Leto, Jeff Bridges, Gillian Anderson
Jared Leto stars as Ares, an Artificial Intelligence being who’s called upon to carry out a dangerous mission in the real world. The film, which was released in theaters in October, puts the debate over AI – and its potential uses and abuses – on center stage. The supporting cast includes Jeff Bridges, Gillian Anderson, Evan Peters and Greta Lee.
Made In Korea, episode five
What Kind of Show: Spy Thriller
When to Watch: Wednesday, January 7
Who’s In It: Hyundai Bin, Jung Woo-Sung
The six-episode series stars Hyun Bin as Baek Ki-Tae, a corrupt intelligence officer who exploits his position to amass wealth. Jung Woo-Sung plays a young principled prosecutor who vows to bring Ki-Tae down even if it means risking his life and the lives of his loved ones. The six-episode crime drama is generating major buzz with some critics comparing it to early Scorsese for its fast-paced action and moral dilemmas. (I saw the first episode and was impressed with the acting and action. However, note that the show is dubbed into English from Korean, and, frankly, it’s done somewhat inconsistently. I think you’ll like the show but keep that in mind.)
