Disney+ has revealed its exciting spring line-up for South Africa, promising an unbeatable mix of new series, returning favourites, and blockbuster films.
This announcement comes on the heels of major launches such as FX’s sci-fi hit Alien: Earth, the fifth season of comedy favourite Only Murders in the Building, Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch, and Marvel Studios’ high-octane Thunderbolts.

Among the standout premieres is All’s Fair, the latest legal drama from Ryan Murphy. Starring Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Teyana Taylor, Matthew Noszka, Sarah Paulson, and Glenn Close, the series follows a formidable team of divorce attorneys navigating messy breakups and courtroom intrigue.
Fans can also look forward to the highly anticipated return of Percy Jackson and The Olympians, where Percy and his friends venture into the Sea of Monsters in search of the Golden Fleece.
