Disney is one of the streaming services that has caught on very quickly with giants from the past and now boasts an expansive slate that not only consists of a treasure trove of fantasy, animated, and superhero films and shows but also a large variety of content from almost all genres.

Interestingly, part of this successful rise to the top in the streaming world includes Disney's ability to constantly update its slate with even better and more ambitious content. Disney originals like The Mandalorian, which is currently releasing new episodes every week, are the reason behind the widespread appeal of the streaming service.

Like every other month, Disney will once again release a host of new material in April 2023, enough to keep its viewers glued to their screens.
