WandaVision

Disney+’s first foray into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, WandaVision, became the most watched TV series in the world just after a month of its release in January 2021. Set three weeks after the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019), WandaVision follows Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and her husband Vision (Paul Bettany) as they navigate life in the town of Westview while trying to conceal their superpowers. In homage to past sitcoms, television tropes from different decades are interweaved to portray Wanda and Vision’s new mundane suburban life, which is not what it seems to be. As Wanda mentally falls apart, the couple realise why they came to Westview in the first place.

WandaVision airs November 16

Loki

Another resounding Disney+ and Marvel success, Loki sees Tom Hiddleston reprising his role as Thor’s brother, God of Mischief and cunning villain Loki. After seizing the Tesseract in Avengers: Endgame (2019), a past version of Loki is taken to the Time Variance Authority, a bureaucratic organisation responsible for guarding the “Sacred Timeline”. Following Loki’s arrest  for creating a branched timeline, the misunderstood villain is given an ultimatum: to be erased from all existence or help fix time.

Hamilton

Original Broadway production and international hit, Hamilton explores the life of Alexander Hamilton, an orphaned immigrant from the Caribbean turned George Washington’s right-hand man. Filmed at The Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway in June 2016, the revolutionary theatre production features a musical score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway to narrate the rise and fall of one of America’s most unlikely founding fathers.

Snowdrop

Attention Blinks! Blackpink’s Jisoo will star alongside D.P.’s Jung Hae-in in new K-drama series Snowdrop, set to be released on Disney+ in December 2021. The much-anticipated series is set against the backdrop of the 1987 Democracy Movement in South Korea, a mass pro-democracy protest against the nation’s then authoritarian rule. When university student Eun Young-ro (Jisoo) finds graduate student Im Soo-ho (Jung Hae-in) heavily wounded after a protest, she brings him in her dorm room at her all female university to hide him from the government.
