Disney+: What to watch in July 2024

Let's not beat around the bush, this month on Disney+ is going to be a rough one. Aside from the ongoing episodes of Star Wars: The Acolyte that are still debuting on a weekly basis, and a few other continuing shows, the streamer isn't looking to offer much at all to get excited for this July. Well... unless you're a big fan of Sharkfest that is.

Sharkfest - July 1

We've included this as one entry when in fact it is several new documentaries that all fall under and into the Sharkfest category. As is the case every year, here we can look forward to a slate of new programmes dedicated to the ocean's most fearsome predators, with shows targeting creatures of all shapes and sizes from the species.

Whether it's looking into shark attacks, sharks living in cities, viral shark moments, the biggest sharks that swim in our oceans, and even a documentary hosted by the new Captain America, Anthony Mackie, there are loads of exciting shark shows to look forward to this July.

Land of Tanabata - July 4

This show is coming from the creator of Parasyte and follows a university student as they use their unusual supernatural skills to overcome a threat that could be cataclysmic for the wider world.

Brats - July 5

This documentary looks into the Brat Pack, a collection of young stars in the 1980s that starred in many beloved and cult-classic films, such as The Breakfast Club. This film sees director Andrew McCarthy meeting back up with many of the other celebrities that made up the Brat Pack to talk about being a member of this elusive group.
