All the big announcements from Disney’s Investor Day conference

ByDan Selcke|

Disney is making big announcements about all its big franchises and platforms. We’re covering them all right here!

Today, Disney is revealing its plans for the future in a four-hour presentation, which you can watch in real-time on its website. It’s expected to drop a “Death Star-size trove” of information about Star Wars projects, and you can bet they’ll be info about Marvel and other franchises, as well.

We’ll be here recording the big content announcements for you, and the first has already dropped:

"Over the next few years, roughly 10 @Marvel series, 10 @StarWarsseries, 15 Disney live action, @DisneyAnimation, and @Pixar series, plus 15 all-new Disney live action, Disney Animation, and Pixar features will be released directly on @DisneyPlus."

Holy god, that is a lot of TV shows, and pretty much confirms that the rumors about an exploding Star Wars TV universe beyond The Mandalorian is true.

A release date for Raya and the Last Dragon:

Disney has a f**kton of subscribers for its streaming platforms:

Expect more original content coming to Hulu, which Disney owns, if you forgot:

Saturday Night Live cast member Kate McKinnon will play Silicon Valley swindler Elizabeth Holmes in The Dropout on Hulu. Including the hilarious McKinnon was the one and only way to get me interested in another story about Elizabeth Holmes, so kudos.

Next up, The Handmaid’s Tale season 5 is officially coming to Hulu! And the cast has a message for fans:

Lots of old shows coming back to FX:

And there will be FOUR new seasons of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia!

Some other cool new shows coming include comics adaptation Y: The Last Man and a show based on Alien:

There’s also a new show called Shōgun coming. According to the presenter, it’s “set within the real game of thrones that was feudal Japan…”

New Star Wars shows are officially coming, including one about Ahsoka Tano:

These shows will be related and culminate in a “story event.”

We got a preview for the upcoming Cassian Andor series, simply called Andor. Check out the trailer:

Here’s a big one: “Hayden Christensen is returning in the role of Darth Vader.” He’ll be in the upcoming show about Obi-Wan Kenobi, set 10 years after the events of Revenge of the Sith. He and Obi-Wan will have “the rematch of the century.”

Whoa.
