20 March 2020, 12:08
Disney+ launches in the UK from 24th March, and will include new shows, live-action remakes of classics, and a whole host of nostalgic shows from Disney Channel, including Good Luck Charlie and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
Disney+ is almost ready to make its UK debut (thanks a lot, self-isolation) and while we gear up to spend the next few months rewatching every animated classic, there'll also be a lot of childhood nostalgia on offer with plenty of old shows from Disney Channel moving over to the new service.

Star Wars spin off show, The Mandalorian, will be coming in weekly instalments, while the live-action remake of Lady and the Tramp will be added on the day of the launch.
The US version of the streaming platform is already in full swing with the UK launch on 24th March, but Eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America won't be seeing it until 2021.
Unfortunately due to the current coronavirus situation, production has been paused on a lot of shows that were expected, including Loki and WandaVision, but if you're looking for an easy watch while you wait for the chaos to pass by, old school Disney Channel favourites such as Hannah Montana, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Wizards Of Waverly Place will be streamable from the start.
