Here's every title being added to Disney Plus and which ones to put on the top of your watchlist

Disney Plus is constantly adding more content to its platform, ensuring that there's always something on there for everyone to watch. Across the month of April, the streaming service plans on catering to all kinds of subscribers as it continues to roll out Marvel series Moon Knight, new documentary Sketchbook, and premieres Ice Age: Scrat Tales. 

US viewers will see the arrival of Boston Red Sox documentary Four Days in October, Herbie: Fully Loaded, and the first few episodes of Raven's Home. Elsewhere, if you're based in the UK and into reality TV, then you should look out for The Kardashians, Kim and co.'s new series. If fiction is more your thing, though, then mark your calendars for the release of Dollface season 2, the Hulu sitcom starring WandaVision's Kat Dennings, or the addition of Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves' action Speed.

Below, we've rounded up everything available on Disney Plus in both the US and UK in April 2022, including the top three that we're most excited about.

Ice Age: Scrat Tales – April 13

Ice Age: Scrat Tales, an animated short film series based on the popular Ice Age franchise, centers on the titular saber-toothed squirrel as he tries to quell his all-consuming nut obsession when he becomes a father. There's just one big problem, though; the youngster is even more skittish than he is. Directed by Donnie Long, the six-parter features the voices of Chris Wedge as Scrat, and Karl Wahlgren as Baby Scrat.

Dollface season 2 – April 27

In Dollface, WandaVision star Kat Dennings plays Jules Wiley, a newly single woman who finds herself reconnecting with the friends she drifted away from while she was dating her former longtime boyfriend. The comedy's season 1 finale saw Jeremy (Connor Hines), the ex, ask Jules to get back together with him; an offer she rejected. So season 2, which was released on Hulu in the US in February, tracks the fallout of that decision. Matthew Gray Gubler, Esther Povitsky, Brenda Song, Shay Mitchell also star. 

Disneynature's Polar Bear – April 22

In honor of Earth Day, Disney Plus is set to upload a whole bunch of nature documentaries in April, including Explorer: The Last Tepui, America's Greatest Animals, and The Biggest Little Farm: The Return. Among them is Arctic-based new film Polar Bear, which "follows the story of a new mother whose memories of her own youth prepare her to navigate motherhood in the increasingly challenging world that polar bears face today." The Adam Project's Catherine Keener narrates, while Alastair Fothergill and Jeff Wilson direct.
