Keanu Reeves hosts new docuseries Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story

Disney+ is launching some exciting original films, shows and documentaries this November. The streaming platform from the House of Mouse has confirmed the release dates for a host of original content to keep you busy as the temperature drops and the nights grow longer.

November’s releases include a new family comedy to get you in the Christmas spirit, a gripping murder-mystery, and an all-new docuseries hosted by Keanu Reeves. All of this – plus thousands of films and shows from the worlds of Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and more – can be streamed with a subscription to Disney+.

From November 1, a subscription to Disney+ could see members paying an extra £36 a year. That is because the streaming service is refreshing its pricing, meaning existing customers will be automatically upgraded to the platform’s new more expensive Premium plan unless they change their subscription.

This means that, for new subscribers, October is the last chance to sign up and benefit from the current pricing before the increase on November 1. Subscribing to an annual membership to Disney+ by October 31 gives new members 12 months access for less than the cost of eight months on the new Premium plan.

Here, we take a look at Disney+’s upcoming film and TV slate for November 2023.
