Here's everything new coming to Disney+ in August 2022

August is a month full of big-name titles for Disney+, including the streaming debut of “Lightyear” and highly anticipated new series from both the Marvel and “Star Wars” universes.

The animated “Toy Story” prequel “Lightyear” (Aug. 3) drops first, hitting Disney+ a month and a half after its theatrical release in mid-June. The Pixar movie disappointed at the box office, and Disney

execs are surely hoping it’ll be more of a hit for kids watching from home.

A week later comes Season 3 of the charming animated kids show “Bluey” (Aug. 10). Spoiler alert for adults: The animated Australian show about a family of dogs is ostensibly for kids, but it’s also a primer on how to be a great parent. On the same day, “I Am Groot” also drops, featuring a collection of shorts starring Baby Groot from the “Guardians of the Galaxy” movies.

Aug. 17 sees the debut of “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” a legal comedy starring Tatiana Maslany (“Orphan Black”) as a 30-something attorney who can transform into a massive, superpowered hulk just like her cousin, Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo). Tim Roth and Jameela Jamil co-star as the villains. The trailer, released in May, was ridiculed for its shoddy CGI effects, but Disney has promised they’ll be cleaned up by the time the series streams.

The end of the month brings “Andor” (Aug. 31), a series that’s a prequel to the best of the “Star Wars” sequels, 2016’s gritty “Rogue One.” Diego Luna stars as a rebel spy in the grim early days of the rebellion against the evil Galactic Empire.
