6 Best New Movies Coming To Disney+ In August 2026

Published Jul 29, 2026, 8:15 PM EDT Karlis has been obsessing over television and movie news since he first learned how to read. He has worked in tech, as a musician, and in journalism with a well-rounded knowledge base of pop-culture throughout the eras. He claims that he has memorized the entire Internet Movie Database, and to date no one has been able to refute this. Holding a Bachelor's Degree in Religion and Culture from Wilfrid Laurier University, Karlis loves to examine the intersections of popular science-fiction and culture. His latest novel MASS. is available now on Amazon and examines a world where obesity has become a federal crime. Disney+ and Hulu have a great lineup of movies coming to the services in August 2026, and these six are the best offerings. Following the movies added to Disney+ in July 2026, the streamer has several new feature-length offerings this month, including narrative films, documentaries, and even an incredible concert celebration. Now is a good time to subscribe. The studio has had an excellent year in theaters, and hopes to bring that same attention to its streaming service this month. Films like Toy Story 5 have become billion-dollar hits, and even the live-action remake of Moana, while underperforming, has remained a popular offering this summer. Those films will become available on the streamer in the coming months. In addition to new films, the streamer will be bringing several catalog options to Hulu and Disney+. Cheaper by the Dozen, Jurassic Park, and Men in Black will all be available on August 1st, as will Paramount's enormous franchise starter Sonic the Hedgehog. Tropic Thunder will also make its premiere on the Hulu service that same day. In addition to all of that, many fantastic new films are coming to streaming this month. While services like Prime Video have excellent August offerings, Disney+'s selection of films is arguably even more exciting. With the return of a fabulous Jonas Brothers series, a new comedy from Jason Biggs, and an excellent new X-Files cut, there is something for everyone to enjoy this August. Untitled Home Invasion Romance Jason Biggs' directorial debut was highlighted in ScreenRant's 2026 movie preview, and it will finally be made available on Hulu on Disney+ on August 1st. The new film is an excellent story about a rocky relationship looking to be revitalized through a ridiculous plan during a romantic getaway. Things go wrong, and someone ends up dead, setting the story off on a wild and unpredictable track. The film stars Jason Biggs alongside Meaghan Rath, Anna Konkle, Justin H. Min, and Arturo Castro in a fun and exciting story that also provides a great deal of heart and a lot of strong humor. Biggs is best known for his roles in American Pie and Orange is the New Black, but this new film shows that he also has an excellent eye for behind-the-camera work. With great characters and a strong script, Untitled Home Invasion Romance is a must-see on Disney+ and Hulu when it launches this month. Time And Water A compelling new National Geographic documentary by Sara Dosa, Time and Water tells a story of climate change and holding on to memory. Examining the life of Icelandic writer Andri Snær Magnason, the film is a time capsule of a period and place that is slowly melting away. Contending with climate change is a heavy topic, but this new film does so with a powerful and emotionally personal bent. This intimate documentary has been lauded for its look at family and legacy, and the deep connection that they hold to a place that is disappearing before their eyes. Director Sara Dosa is known for the film Fire of Love, which was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 95th Academy Awards. Time and Water will premiere on the National Geographic channel on July 31st, and it will be made available to stream on Disney+ the next day, on August 1st. Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear Travis Barker is one of the most well-known drummers in the world today. Joining the popular pop punk band blink-182 for their third album and big mainstream breakthrough, Enema of the State, he has since gone on to become one of the most in-demand musicians of his generation. Featured in groups like Transplants and +44, Barker has also shepherded a new generation of pop punk talent, working with artists including Willow Smith, YUNGBLUD, and mkg. He has also become a reality television mainstay, especially after marrying Kourtney Kardashian in 2022. Travis Barker: Louder than Fear will debut on Hulu on Disney+ on August 13th. The film is set to look at Barker's life and career over time, including a focus on the plane crash in 2008 that nearly took his life, killing four others. Disney Princess: The Ultimate Concert Celebration The D23 fan event in 2026 is a huge deal for the new footage and trailer that it could release. However, one very special sequence that will be coming out of the event is Disney Princess: The Ultimate Concert Celebration, which will be available as a feature on the Disney+ streaming service beginning on August 16th. A gathering of Disney princesses, this live concert celebration promises to be one of the most exciting moments of the entire event. The concert itself will occur at Paradise Gardens Park, Disney California Adventure Park, and promises to feature the voices of many Disney princesses from throughout the years, although no specific stars have yet been detailed. An enormous concert full of light and life, this celebration promises to be an incredibly special event that will beg to be watched repeatedly on the streaming service. It promises to be full of fantastic spirit and energy and, of course, some of Disney's best and most beloved songs. The X-Files: I Want To Believe Vrach Frankenshteyn Via MovieStillsDB The X-Files is one of the most beloved series of all time, and was a huge pop culture phenomenon during its initial run from 1993-2002. The stories of Mulder and Scully have remained influential even beyond then, however, which has allowed for two separate renaissances for the series in the years since. The first of these was the 2008 film, The X-Files: I Want to Believe, a movie that was watered down from its original horror-influenced, R-rated intent to a PG-13 film. That original vision has finally been restored in 2026 with the Vrach Frankenshteyn cut of the film, coming to Hulu on Disney+ on August 14th. While not as warmly received as the first X-Files movie, I Want to Believe tells a strong, self-contained supernatural story, and helped the series to relaunch for several more seasons from 2016-2018. As audiences await an X-Files reboot from Ryan Coogler, the new cut of this film, with a fantastic monster-of-the-week kind of focus, looks to be the perfect watch. Camp Rock 3 Perhaps Disney+'s biggest original movie event of the summer, the Jonas Brothers return in Camp Rock 3, which will premiere on the Disney Channel on August 13th before becoming available on Disney+ the next day. The new movie promises a next-generation tale, as Connect 3 hosts a talent competition to find an opening act for their next tour. It has been 16 years since Camp Rock 2, but the Jonas Brothers remain enormous pop culture figures. A Very Jonas Christmas was a big hit on Disney+ last year, and a new installment in their summer franchise is the perfect way to follow that up. The new film will put a spotlight on the film's younger cast, with Liamani Segura already being featured on the first single from the film, "One Beat Away." The rest of the film is certain to be full of infectious music and relatable relationships, and is sure to be one of Disney+'s best offerings this August. Disney+ 4/10
