It’s officially Disney+ Day, the day when Disney announces and gives updates on all the upcoming projects coming to the Disney+ streaming platform. Now, this is Disney, so there wasn’t very much gay news, but there are a lot of shows we’re excited for.
Some of these shows feature gay characters and actors, others are simply gay favorites, and others have the potential to include some queer representation on the streamer, but all of them are worth tuning into. Here are 11 titles from today’s Disney+ Day announcements that we’re most excited for!
Created by Tim Federle and featuring not only several queer characters, but one of the queerest casts ever in a Disney show, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series is coming back for a third season in 2022 and they’re doing songs from Frozen!
The Sanderson Sisters are reuniting for an all new Halloween adventure, which is coming our way in the fall of 2022!
The new, queer-inclusive reboot of the classic Disney Channel show will premiere in February 2022 on the streamer. It features new queer characters played by EJ Johnson, Billy Porter, and Zachary Quinto.
After the breakout success of Kathryn Hahn’s character Agatha Harkness on WandaVision, everyone’s favorite witch is getting her own series coming soon!
The original X-Men cartoon series has plenty of gay subtext, but it also features queer supervillain Mystique and her partner Destiny. We can’t wait for the reboot!
In the comics, Ms. Marvel Kamala Khan has some queer friends, so we’re hoping we get to see some of them in the upcoming series. Ms. Marvel will debut in Summer of 2022.
There are rumors that Disney and Marvel are looking to make Riri Williams, the titular hero Ironheart, a young Black girl who makes her own version of the Iron Man suit, bisexual in the new tv series.
There probably won’t be anything gay going on in Moon Knight, but it stars Oscar Isaac, and he’s hot as hell, so you know we’ll be watching. Plus, Moon Knight is known to fight Dracula and other vampires, who are exceedingly gay.
She-Hulk is another character fans and comic writers have been trying to make gay for a while now, but unfortunately, she is not. At least she's looking pretty strong in the trailer, even if we would've liked her a little bit bigger.

While there wasn’t any canonical gayness in the first season of Marvel’s What If...?, there were a lot of queer-ish moments, like the beautifully buff Captain Carter, Coulson’s crush on Thor, and the limp-wristed Frost Giant Loki. A second season is coming soon.
The sequel to the classic Amy Adams-Patrick Dempsey movie is finally coming next fall! And the original Enchanted is currently streaming on Disney+ for the first time!
