New on Disney Plus in April 2021: All the new movies and shows

Another month means another new batch of movies and TV shows are coming to Disney Plus, and we've put them all in a handy list for you. For one thing, new episodes of shows like Marvel's The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and new sports comedy-drama Big Shot are being released weekly. If you prefer to binge-watch TV, complete seasons of the animated series Stars Wars: The Clone Wars and the brand new National Geographic documentary Secrets of the Whales are also arriving this month.

Plus, there's a whole bunch of movies and shows being added to Disney Plus in the UK courtesy of Star, including Bob's Burgers Criminal Minds, and, excitingly, the Oscar-nominated Nomadland. That's just the start of it, too, so without further ado: here's everything new on Disney Plus in the US and the UK in April 2021, with the three of the biggest highlights at the top.

Big Shot – April 16

New Disney Plus original series Big Shot follows Marvyn Korn, a temperamental basketball coach (John Stamos) who is fired from his job and ends up teaching in an elite girls' private high school. The sports comedy drama also stars Jessalyn Gilsig as Marvyn's down to earth assistant coach and Yvette Nicole Brown as the no-nonsense head of the school. It was co-created by David E. Kelley, the man behind shows like Ally McBeal, Big Little Lies, and The Undoing.

Secrets of the Whales – April 22

Secrets of the Whales, a new National Geographic documentary for Disney Plus, shows us the inner lives of whales. We get to see the extraordinary communication skills and intricate social structures of five different whale species: orcas, humpbacks, belugas, narwhals, and sperm whales. The four-part series was filmed over three years in 24 locations and the epic marine journey is narrated by the dulcet tones of none other than Sigourney Weaver.

Marvel Studios: Assembled – The Making of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – April 30

Although The Falcon and the Winter Soldier finale airs on April 23, the fun isn't over until the end of the month – you can go behind the scenes of the MCU show with the latest installment of Marvel Studios: Assembled. If it's anything like the previous episode on WandaVision, we can expect an hour's worth of exclusive on-set footage to give us the lowdown on how Disney filmed all the series' action-packed scenes.
