Premieres Coming To Disney+ UK & STAR In January 2022

We are heading towards a packed Christmas of TV shows, but the fun doesn’t stop in the new year, as Disney releases their full list of upcoming premieres for January 2022 on Disney+ and Star in the UK. The latest big-screen Marvel outing lands on home release, alongside some exclusive tv drama, comedy, and other things to keep you entertained on those cold UK nights. Here is the full breakdown.

Disney+ & STAR Originals January Highlights

When private detectives Cassie Dewell and Jenny Hoyt reunite to investigate a car wreck outside of Helena, Montana, they soon discover that the case may not be as straightforward as it seems. As they unravel the mystery of the accident, their worlds will collide with a band of unsuspecting teens, a flirtatious face from Jenny’s past, and a vicious outsider hellbent on finding answers.

Eternals – 12th January 2022

Marvel Studios’ Eternals follows a group of ancient heroes from beyond the stars who have protected the Earth since the dawn of man. When monstrous creatures called Deviants, long thought lost to history, mysteriously return, the Eternals are forced to reunite in order to defend humanity once again.

Eternals features an outstanding ensemble cast, including Gemma Chan as humankind-loving Sersi; Richard Madden as the all-powerful Ikaris; Kumail Nanjiani as cosmic-powered Kingo; Lia McHugh as Sprite, an eternally young old soul; and Brian Tyree Henry as intelligent inventor Phastos. Chloé Zhao directs the film, and Kevin Feige and Nate Moore are the producers, with Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso and Kevin de la Noy serving as executive producers.

The Chi, Seasons 1-4 – 12th January 2022

On Chicago’s south side, an average day finds kids prepping for school as their parents head off to work, young adults trying to make a living, and the elders keeping an eye on things from their front porches. But in this tough neighbourhood, real dangers threaten daily to squelch dreams, and the simplest decisions can have life or death consequences. The Chi is a powerful coming-of-age drama series about an interconnected group of working-class African-Americans who remind us that no matter what, the human spirit is strong and hope never dies.

Queens – 19th January 2022

‘Queens’ follows four women in their 40s who reunite for a chance to recapture their fame and regain their swagger they had as the Nasty Bitches, their ‘90s group that made them legends in the hip-hop world. The series is from ABC Signature, a part of Disney Television Studios.

The World According to Jeff Goldblum, Season 2, Part 2 – 19th January 2022

Jeff Goldblum is back with brand new episodes. In this new season of the National Geographic series, Jeff uncovers surprising secrets behind a whole new host of topics. While meeting a new cast of fantastic characters, from passionate fans to experts unveiling life-changing new technology, Jeff discovers just how these topics have shaped the world we live in.

Mixed-ish, Season 2 – 19th January 2022

From the creators of ‘black-ish’, season two of ‘mixed-ish’ continues to tell the story of a young Rainbow Johnson and her family as they recount the experience of being a mixed-race family in the ’80s and the dilemmas they face as they navigate a world where the kids are perceived as neither black nor white. While the parents deal with the social dynamics of fitting into the suburbs, Rainbow and her siblings find themselves figuring out how to fit in when everyone else can’t decide where they belong.

The Resident, Season 5 – 26th January 2022

It seems the doctors at Chastain Memorial Hospital are moving to a new UK home on Disney+ for Season 5, having previously premiered on Universal Channel and Sky Witness. ‘The Resident’ focuses on the lives and duties of staff members but also delves into the bureaucratic practices of the hospital industry, as they face personal and professional challenges on a daily basis. In the opening episode, a cyberattack sends the hospital into a tailspin, and Kit must decide whether to pay the ransom. Matt Czuchry stars.

Marvel’s Hit Monkey – 26th January 2022

‘Marvel’s Hit Monkey’ tells the tale of a wronged Japanese snow monkey, mentored by the ghost of an American assassin, as he cuts a wide swath through the Tokyo underworld in this darkly cinematic and brutally funny revenge saga. The show comes from writers Josh Gordon and Will Speck, with Gordon, Speck and Jeph Loeb serving as Executive Producers.
