Disney Plus is shaping February 2026 into a month that favors felt puppets, historical intrigue, and morally complicated surgeons over heart-shaped candy and candlelit dinners. While the service continues to deliver its expected family-oriented lineup, February also leans into heavier subject matter, including true-crime-adjacent documentaries, large-scale historical explorations, and character-driven drama. The result is a release calendar that feels unusually diverse, and at times pleasantly unpredictable.
At the center of the month’s offerings is a new special event featuring The Muppet Show, bringing Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the entire ensemble back to their theatrical roots with pop star Sabrina Carpenter joining the festivities. Alongside this, The Artful Dodger returns for a second season, continuing its revisionist take on Charles Dickens’ iconic character, now operating in the brutal medical underworld of 1850s Australia. Adding to the nostalgia factor, Disney Plus is launching a 24/7 Hannah Montana stream to celebrate the franchise’s twentieth anniversary, a programming decision that will likely resonate strongly with longtime subscribers who grew up with the series.
Beyond marquee titles, the month is packed with engineering documentaries, National Geographic projects, preschool animation, and several library film additions. Whether the appeal lies in ancient civilizations, theme park design, or chaos-driven comedy, Disney Plus is positioning February as a month where boredom has little chance of surviving.
