Already absolutely packed to the brim with all of the Marvel cinematic universe installments, Star Wars, Disney content, and quite literally anything else you can think of, Disney Plus became a high contender to become everyone’s favorite streaming platform since its release in 2019.

From the celebration of Shark Week (or Sharkfest) to documentaries, those who use the platform to catch up on their favorite shows will be gifted with high-quality content.
