The best TV shows to watch on Disney Plus Australia:
Only Murders in the Building
This critically acclaimed series stars Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez as three strangers who are brought together by a murder that takes place in the building they all live in.
Absolutely delightful, funny and gripping, the series – which has just released its fourth season and wrapped filming on its fifth – is a must-watch!
Stream Only Murders in the Building on Disney Plus from $15.99/mth.
Lost
Lost may have ended years ago in 2010, but it’s one of the greatest television series of all time; the compelling plot and the top-notch acting are just two of many reasons to stream it.
The series follows the survivors of flight Oceanic 815, who land on a mysterious island.
Stream Lost on Disney Plus from $15.99/mth.
The Bear
So far, The Bear has won an impressive 10 Primetime Emmy Awards. The show follows Carmy, an award-winning chef who returns to his hometown to run his late brother’s sandwich shop.
The Bear is a very intense series but has such wonderful character development. Plus, Jeremy Allen White’s performance as Carmy is just phenomenal.

Dying for Sex
Michelle Williams portrays Molly Kochan, who receives a diagnosis of Stage IV metastatic breast cancer and decides to change her life. Supported by her best friend Nikki, she goes on a quest to discover what she likes and doesn’t like. Also starring in the show is the fabulous Sissy Spacek who we spoke to about her role.

Grey’s Anatomy
This medical drama, starring Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey, follows the various doctors at Seattle Grace hospital.
It’s an easy yet emotional watch; great for if you want to unwind with a glass of wine.

The Clearing
This Australian miniseries was loosely based on the real-life cult The Family and stars Miranda Otto, Teresa Palmer and Guy Pearce.
If I had to sum The Clearing up in one word, it’d be intriguing; you’ll be hooked from the very first episode…
Stream The Clearing on Disney Plus from $15.99/mth.
Rivals
In 1980s Britain, a TV network hotshot, a wealthy politician, and an outspoken journalist collide in this titillating TV series based on Jilly Cooper’s bestselling Rutshire Chronicles.
Starring acclaimed Scottish actor David Tennant, Katherine Parkinson (who’s also been recently cast in the new Harry Potter series), Irish actress Maud O’Hara, and Danny Dyer.
Stream Rivals on Disney Plus from $15.99/mth.
Feud
If you’re after a stellar cast, Feud is the series for you.
The first season stars Jessica Lange, Susan Sarandon, Judy Davis, Stanley Tucci, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Kathy Bates, and chronicles the well-documented rivalry between Hollywood actresses Joan Crawford and Bette Davis.
Season 2 of the anthology series stars Naomi Watts, Diane Lane, Chloë Sevigny, Calista Flockhart, Demi Moore and Molly Ringwald, and tells the true story of how Truman Capote befriended a group of socialite women but then betrayed them by writing a thinly veiled fictionalised account of their lives.
Stream Feud on Disney Plus from $15.99/mth.
Candy
If you love a true crime gambit, there’s a lot to love about this Jessica Biel-starring series. Jessica portrays Candy Montgomery, a bored 1980s housewife who attempts to add a little excitement to her life by embarking on an affair with a neighbour’s husband. With disastrous and deadly results. At the end of the whodunnit, you still might not be sure who did it.
The true crime story gripped America and the world, and in fact, another series starring Elizabeth Olsen depicting the same tale, titled Love and Death, was released at a similar time (and is available to stream on Max)
Stream Candy on Disney Plus from $15.99/month
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Yes, this is a major throwback. But Buffy the Vampire Slayer really holds up.
The plot is good. The acting is good. And watching Sarah Michelle Gellar kick ass in cute clothes is nothing short of enjoyable.
Stream Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Disney Plus from $15.99/mth.
Bluey
Yes, Bluey is technically a kids’ show, but it’s actually really entertaining for adults too! The series follows Bluey, a six-year-old Blue Heeler dog and her family – her dad Bandit, her mum Chilli and her sister Bingo.
All episodes are available on Disney Plus Australia, and brand new ‘Bluey Minisodes’ will be released on the platform on October 7, 2024.
Stream Bluey on Disney Plus from $15.99/mth.
