We’re shining a light on ten Disney+ original series that aren’t getting the attention they deserve. These hidden gems, all created by Disney or its studios like Pixar, Marvel, or Lucasfilm, offer unique stories, lovable characters, and creative sparks that make them must-watch in 2025.

This Marvel series follows Riri Williams, a brilliant young inventor crafting her own Iron Man-inspired suit in Chicago. After the events of ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’, Riri’s journey blends tech and magic as she faces off against the mysterious Parker Robbins, aka The Hood.

With Dominique Thorne leading the cast, ‘Ironheart’ delivers a fresh coming-of-age tale with heart-pounding action. Its mix of street-smart vibes and superhero flair makes it a standout, yet it’s often overlooked among bigger Marvel titles.

Pixar’s first original series, ‘Win or Lose’, dives into the lives of a middle school softball team, the Pickles, as they gear up for a big championship. Each episode shifts perspectives, showing the same week through different characters, from players to parents.

Voiced by talents like Will Forte and Rhea Seehorn, this charming show captures the messy, heartfelt moments of youth. Its unique storytelling and emotional depth deserve more buzz than it’s getting.

Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld (2025)

With stunning visuals and deep lore, ‘Tales of the Underworld’ offers a fresh spin on Star Wars storytelling. It’s a must for fans, but its quieter release means it’s not getting the spotlight it should.

Set between the ‘Inside Out’ films, this Pixar series takes us inside Riley’s mind to the Dream Studio, where her dreams are crafted like Hollywood movies. It’s a clever, funny look at the chaos behind her nighttime adventures.

With voices like Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph, ‘Dream Productions’ is packed with wit and creativity. Its niche premise might keep it under the radar, but it’s a delightful gem for all ages.

From tiger beetles to peacock spiderlings, each episode is a visual marvel. Despite its fascinating approach, this family-friendly show doesn’t get the love it deserves on Disney+.
