If your local weather forecast is looking grim this weekend, Disney+ can offer a cosy alternative to that pesky wind and rain.

The streaming platform has kicked off the year in style with a return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in light-hearted showbiz comedy Wonder Man and the second season of Steven Knight's acclaimed period drama A Thousand Blows.

There's also been some strong imports courtesy of US streamer Hulu, which has brought us both romantic drama Tell Me Lies (now in its third shocking season) and an all-new adventure for Thomas Brodie-Sangster's The Artful Dodger.

Another treat came in the form of The Muppet Show, a 30-minute special with the Jim Henson characters, featuring comedy legends Seth Rogen and Maya Rudolph, plus musical sensation Sabrina Carpenter.

The highly praised return for this iconic group also functions as a 'back-door pilot', meaning we could get a full season if enough viewers tune in. If that's something you want to see, be sure to spread the word!

If you're still unsure what to watch next, scroll on for more on these titles and many others, as we present the best shows on Disney+ to watch now.
