Earlier this month, Disney Chief Executive Officer Bob Chapek announced that come December, the Disney+ streaming service—launched with an aim to be the cheapest major streaming offering—will hike its monthly subscription price by $3, or more than 37%. Inflation strikes again—or is it a new corporate strategy emphasizing profitability over growth? Either way, the company is doing everything it can to distract you from the looming increase with a loaded September slate.
When is Disney+ Day in 2022?

Ostensibly the reason for this month’s stronger-than-usual content lineup is the return of Disney+ Day. The second annual marketing event disguised as a “celebration” is set for Sept. 8, when the service will add a whole bunch of new goodies including several new series, director Robert Zemeckis’s “live-action” remake of Pinocchio starring Tom Hanks (as Geppetto, you weirdo), and the streaming premiere of Thor: Love & Thunder.
But that’s not all! On Sept. 21, Disney+ will drop the first season of the fourth weekly series in the Star Wars universe, Andor. The prequel-to-prequel Rogue Squadron, starring a returning Diego Luna, was originally slated to premiere in August before a last-minute delay.
If the pumpkin spice in the air wasn’t doing it for you, Disney+ is also turning the corner into spooky season with the premiere of the direct-to-streaming sequel Hocus Pocus 2, the long-awaited followup to the 1993 beloved-for-some-reason original.
Here’s everything coming to Disney+ in September—including, should you care about such things, the exclusive premiere of season 31 of Dancing With the Stars (Sept. 19), which will no longer air on ABC.
