Disney Plus is turning up the heat in August with a fresh lineup of originals, sequels and animated adventures that you'll want to stick around for.

"Limitless: Live Better Now" with Chris Hemsworth finds the actor exploring the limits of human potential. Whether he’s performing onstage to boost brain health or scaling an icy cliff, Hemsworth has his work cut out for him.

In "LEGO Disney Princess: Villains Unite," Gaston is back with a vengeance, and he’s bringing backup. After his first plot is foiled, he enlists Ursula, Jafar and the Evil Queen to take down the Princesses for good.

Then there’s "Eyes of Wakanda", Marvel Animation’s latest series. The show follows the Hatut Zeraze, Wakanda’s elite War Dogs, on perilous missions through time and across the globe as they retrieve lost Vibranium artifacts and protect Wakanda’s legacy.

Below, find a complete list of what you'll find on Disney Plus in August 2025.
