Disney+ opens 2026 with two very different flavours of prestige television. Wonder Man arrives January 27th as the MCU's most unconventional entry in years — a Hollywood satire following Simon Williams, an aspiring actor-turned-superpowered stuntman, with Ben Kingsley returning as the beloved Trevor Slattery. It's a meta commentary on fame and identity that doubles as Marvel entertainment, making it the most interesting new entry in the MCU's streaming catalogue.
Sharing the month is A Thousand Blows Season 2, also on Hulu from January 9th. Created by Steven Knight, this Victorian-era British drama returns to the bare-knuckle boxing underground and the Forty Elephants criminal syndicate with higher stakes and more visceral action. For fans of Peaky Blinders-adjacent period drama, it's one of the most atmospheric series currently in production.
Wonder Man is the flagship title if you want something new and distinctly MCU. A Thousand Blows Season 2 is the pick if you want rich, violent, beautifully mounted period drama. Both are worth your January evenings.

Wonder Man is a Marvel miniseries premiering January 27th on Disney+. It follows Simon Williams, an aspiring actor and stuntman in Hollywood who becomes entangled in the world of superheroes and filmmaking. The show blends comedy, satire, and superhero drama, offering a unique look at fame, identity, and the entertainment industry within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With Ben Kingsley returning as Trevor Slattery, the series satirises Hollywood culture while weaving in Marvel's trademark action and humor — exploring the blurred lines between performance and reality.
“A genuinely fresh Marvel concept that doubles as a Hollywood satire, making it one of the most interesting entries in the MCU's streaming slate.”

The brutal world of Victorian London returns in A Thousand Blows Season 2, premiering January 9th on Disney Plus and Hulu. Created by Steven Knight, this British historical epic dives back into the illegal bare-knuckle boxing scene and the legendary Forty Elephants female crime syndicate. The new episodes heighten the stakes as Hezekiah and Mary fight for survival in a city defined by lawlessness and ambition. With its visceral action and lush period detail, it's a knockout choice for fans of Peaky Blinders seeking a raw, atmospheric underworld saga.
“One of the most distinctive period dramas on streaming returns with a more ambitious second season.”
