The Bad Batch (2021—)

Disney Plus

This new Star Wars series is a spinoff of the lauded The Clone Wars. Using the same CGI-animated style, The Bad Batch follows a squad of elite clone troopers who all have genetic defects, which may or may not give them special abilities. From Dave Filoni, producer of The Mandalorian, The Bad Batch even features Fennec Shand (voiced by Ming-Na Wen), from the live-action show. A more than solid 16-episode diversion that should particularly satisfy those partial to delving deeper into Star Wars lore, and it’s been renewed for a second season.

Mockumentary

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (2019—)

Disney Plus

If you’re not into the High School Musical film series, then this mockumentary might be a little more your thing. Especially since it’s a tongue-in-cheek look at a group of musical theater students putting on a musical inspired by the films in the exact same school the films were shot. Still, it doesn’t veer too far from its source material, featuring a romance between its two leads — Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett. Fans of Glee will find much to get on board with over its two seasons (and two specials), with a third on the way.
