1. The Mandalorian Season 2
The Mandalorian had been the most anticipated returning series of the year among the fans. While The Mandalorian season 2 was released on October 30, we couldn’t keep ourselves from putting it on the list. Season 2 follows the events of the first season and it includes the live-action debut of The Clone Wars fan-favorite character Ahsoka Tano. There are a lot of rumored guests for season 2 including Michael Biehn, Temuera Morrison, Katee Sackhoff, and Timothy Olyphant. The Mandalorian is obviously incomplete without “The Child” (Baby Yoda), as the character will play a big part in the series.
2. Obi Wan Kenobi Series
After years of fans asking for it, Ewan McGregor will once again put on the Jedi Robes and join the battle against the dark side of the force.

One of the most anticipated upcoming TV Show on Disney Plus is Marvel’s “What If…?” It is an anthology series that deals with hypothetical situations. The series will explore what would happen if some of the MCU’s biggest moment had played out differently due to any circumstances.
While the release date isn’t known but Disney told that the series will release somewhere in 2021. Hosted by Jeffrey Wright, the series already boasts a massively impressive voice cast filled with Stars from MCU, including Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Josh Brolin, Mark Ruffalo, Sebastian Stan, Paul Rudd, Natalie Portman, and even the late Chadwick Boseman in his final performance as Black Panther.
7. Disney and Pixar’s Soul
Pixar’s Soul was originally set for theatrical release all the way back in June, but the ongoing Covid-19 situation changed the theatrical release to a Disney Plus release. Disney & Pixar’s Soul will now release exclusively on Disney Plus this Christmas. What can be a better Christmas gift than this?
The story of the movie Soul revolves around a jazz musician named Joe (Jamie Foxx), he takes one wrong step and ends up in The Great Before, a place where new souls develop their personalities and interests before being born on Earth. With a young soul named Tina Fey, Joe will do everything he can to get back to his home. This is an interesting premise and we can’t wait for Christmas to come sooner.
