# What's Coming to Disney+ in July: X-Men '97, Wimbledon and More

July is shaping up as one of Disney+'s busiest months, with the return of the animated hit 'X-Men '97,' a new 'Descendants' film, Tom Hiddleston in ancient Pompeii, live Wimbledon coverage and a batch of Hulu titles — here's what to watch and roughly when, according to the platform's announced lineup.

A note before you build your watchlist: streaming schedules shift, so treat dates as the platform's plan rather than a promise.

## The headliner: 'X-Men '97' returns

The month's marquee event, [per Variety](https://variety.com/feature/whats-on-disney-plus-new-shows-movies-1203517920/), is the second season of *X-Men '97*, the acclaimed revival of the 1990s animated classic. It kicks off July 1 with a multi-episode premiere, then continues with weekly installments through the month — promising the same kinetic animation and pulpy, surprisingly emotional storytelling that made its first season a favorite.

## Films, family and a prestige doc

Mid-month brings *Descendants: Wicked Wonderland*, the latest entry in Disney's teen musical franchise, blending fairy-tale villain lineages with a Wonderland twist. On the nonfiction side, *Pompeii: Out of Time with Tom Hiddleston* sends the *Loki* star through the ancient Roman city buried by Vesuvius — part of Disney+'s growing run of celebrity-hosted history specials. Families are well served, too, with new seasons of *Marvel's Spidey and His Amazing Friends* and *Bluey* compilation specials among the kids' titles, plus a revival of the Latin American roller-skating musical *Soy Luna*.

## Hulu titles on the bundle

With Disney+ and Hulu increasingly integrated, several Hulu shows land within reach of Disney+ subscribers this month — including a long-awaited new season of Mike Judge's animated comedy *King of the Hill*, the continuation of the spy-family anime *Mission: Yozakura Family*, and a new action series getting a multi-episode launch.

## Live sports and events

Disney+'s live slate is heavy in July. Wimbledon coverage runs through mid-month via ESPN on Disney+, WNBA games are scheduled throughout, and the 2026 ESPYs air mid-month, with a Lollapalooza livestream closing out the month. There's also a Fourth-of-July programming event for families around the holiday.

## The bottom line

July leans on franchises, prestige documentary and live sports — a reliable Disney+ formula. But the genuine excitement is *X-Men '97*'s return; if you only have time for one thing this month, start there.
