Disney+ subscribers are in for a treat this October 2025. The month includes a mix of returning favorites, spooky Halloween specials, and brand-new premieres. From animated adventures to highly anticipated sequels, the platform delivers a varied schedule. It pairs neatly with Hulu’s rich fall lineup.
Major Premieres and New Seasons
Kicking off the month, SuperKitties launches its third season on October 1. It introduces a “Su-Purr Wild” jungle storyline. That same day, Tempest, a Hulu Original with one of the most ambitious international casts in Korean drama history, drops new episodes on both Hulu and Disney+.
Other highlights include The Balloonist (October 3), where a hot-air balloon crash forces a woman to face old family wounds, and the return of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place season two on October 8, picking up with Billie Russo and the ever-expanding wizarding clan.
Halloween-Themed Programming
October wouldn’t be complete without festive programming. Disney+ is releasing Mickey & Minnie’s Holiday Songs: Halloween on October 2. It includes stop-motion musical shorts like “This is Halloween.” On October 3, a special Halloween episode of Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends debuts. It pits Spidey against Green Goblin’s clones and Doc Ock’s bat-controlling device.
Later in the month, fans will see Kiff return with a candy-filled Halloween episode (October 5). The highly anticipated live-action debut of Vampirina: Teenage Vampire follows on October 15. These spooky additions culminate with the release of Star Wars: Visions Volume 3 on October 29. It offers anime studios a chance to reimagine tales from a galaxy far, far away.
Original Films and Specials
October also brings unique one-offs, such as Something Wicked This Way Comes (October 3). In this, a sinister carnival threatens a small town. Additionally, there’s Marvel’s Spidey and Iron Man: Avengers Team-Up! on October 17. This unites Marvel heroes against Ultron and Green Goblin.
Another standout is LEGO Frozen: Operation Puffins (October 24), which follows Anna and Elsa’s attempts to refresh Arendelle, only to face the Duke of Weselton’s scheming and an invasion of puffins.
Companion Podcasts Expand the Experience
Disney+ and Hulu are also deepening fan engagement through companion video podcasts. The Dancing with the Stars Official Podcast will drop new episodes every Thursday after the Tuesday live shows. Hulu joins in with podcasts for Only Murders in the Building and Murdaugh: Death in the Family. These align with weekly episode releases.
Why It Matters
Between blockbuster franchises, anime debuts, and Halloween specials, Disney+ is leaning heavily into variety and synergy with Hulu. This month’s lineup ensures that whether viewers crave nostalgia, suspense, or lighthearted family fun, there’s something waiting to stream. With Dancing with the Stars and other cross-platform offerings, the October 2025 slate highlights Disney’s strategy. It blends its streaming brands to capture audiences across every genre.
As the month unfolds, Disney+ continues to reinforce its position as a cornerstone of fall entertainment, offering a mix of magic, music, and mayhem that keeps subscribers coming back for more.
