A new year brings a fresh slate of streaming picks, and January 2026 is getting things rolling with what’s new on Disney+. The month opens with a notable Marvel debut, alongside a solid lineup of new and returning kids’ shows aimed at keeping younger viewers entertained well past the holiday break.
Leading the charge is "Hey A.J.!," a bright, musical kids’ series about a young girl who turns everyday frustrations into imaginative adventures. On the Marvel side, "Wonder Man" offers a twist on the superhero formula, following aspiring actor Simon and washed-up performer Trevor as they chase stardom and survival in a high-stakes Hollywood reboot.
New on Disney+ in January 2026: Top picks
'Hey A.J.!'
Joined by her stuffed bunny sidekick, little A.J. (Amari McCoy) transforms ordinary moments into fun adventures through songs and stories. Based on the kids' book series from Super Bowl champion Martellus Bennett, the show is all about celebrating family, imagination, and problem-solving. A.J. is all about turning everything from long car rides and waiting in the grocery store into something to celebrate, so the kids will have plenty of fun with this animated series.
Stream on Disney+ beginning January 14
'Wonder Man'
Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II ) is an aspiring actor whose career just won't take off. That seemingly changes when he crosses paths with Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley), a washed-up performer who's still clinging to his past.
Slattery introduces him to a potentially career-defining opportunity: a remake of director Von Kovak's (Zlatko Buric) movie "Wonder Man." Both men see a chance to reinvent themselves with the film, which leads them to work as hard as they possibly can for roles in the remade movie.
Stream on Disney+ beginning January 27
'Pupstruction Construction'
Get ready to get "ruff" and tumble with some adorable little pups that work with construction. It follows Phinny as he introduces younger viewers to real builders at work, showing how houses, roads, tunnels, bridges, and other structures are made using the same tools and trucks seen in the animated segments. Not only is it absolutely adorable, but the kids (and maybe you) can learn something, too.
Stream on Disney+ beginning January 30
