What’s Coming Soon from Disney Entertainment?
At the Summer Television Critics Association 2024 Press Tour, The Walt Disney Company revealed its upcoming television lineup.
Some programs will air on ABC, Disney Channel, and ESPN, while others will stream on Disney+ and Hulu.
We just learned a lot about what’s coming soon from Disney Entertainment. Here’s what you’ll be able to watch.
English Teacher

If we’ve learned anything from NBC’s Chicago programming, it’s that one show with the same idea is good, but two or three are even better.
In that spirit, FX will add English Teacher to its lineup, with the pilot episode airing on September 2nd at 10 p.m. EST.

This series will sound a lot like Abbott Elementary, which isn’t accidental.
According to Disney, “a high school teacher in Austin, Texas often finds himself at the intersection of the personal, professional and political aspects of working at a high school.”

So, yes, it’s older Abbott Elementary…or Glee without the singing.
On the bright side, Veronica Mars’ dad, Enrico Colantoni, plays the school principal.

And here’s the real-life documentary that explores much of the same ground.
In Social Studies, documentarian Lauren Greenfield (Generation Wealth) examines the first generation of kids raised in the social media era.

“Filmed in Los Angeles over a school year, this groundbreaking social experiment features a diverse group of teens who open up their lives and phones to offer an intimate glimpse into how social media has reshaped childhood.”
Greenfield notes that as a well-established photographer, she has noticed a change in how this generation of kids reacts to the camera.

Academy Award winner Jeff Bridges and Golden Globe winner John Lithgow return in this Hulu series.

IMDB
If you’re unfamiliar with The Old Man, it’s a story about three different men who claim that a woman is their daughter.
Played by Arrested Development’s Alia Shawkat, the daughter has been kidnapped by one of her would-be parents.

Hulu
Her other possible fathers, a former CIA agent and an Assistant Director in the FBI, try to recover her.
The Old Man is extraordinarily well-reviewed, as you’d expected with this cast. It currently holds a 97 percent Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The buzzy Hulu series returns for a second season and is even more personal this time.
A friend of the show’s lead character, Jax Stewart, has killed her wealthy husband.

Essence
The media latches onto the scandal, debating whether she’s a victim who defended herself or a cold-blooded murderer.
Stewart senses that she’ll need more help on this one. So, she hires a hotshot attorney portrayed by Morris Chestnut.

The marvelous actor presumably replaces the equally great Michael Ealy, who is not returning for season two.
If you haven’t watched the series, Ealy’s character had an affair with Stewart in season one.

Now, the attorney is trying to hold her marriage together as the ridiculously handsome Chestnut enters the picture.
I hope one of her other friends is a good divorce attorney.

TV Line
Season two will debut on Hulu on August 22nd. And if you’re on the fence about watching, I’ll add this tidbit.
Larry Wilmore is the executive producer of the series. Yes, I mean the same Larry Wilmore who was brilliant on The Daily Show.

Also, Kerry Washington won a major award for an episode she directed in season one.
This is a good show you should be watching, especially if you like legal dramas and/or Scandal.

I’ve got great news for fans of Crazy Rich Asians! Hulu has gotten some of the band back together.
No, there isn’t a sequel to the movie yet, but here is the next-best thing.

Then, on a fateful day, he becomes the sole eyewitness to a crime and unintentionally turns into the protagonist in a story he’d love to escape.
Thankfully, this story is a comedy, and you can tell by the presence of The Daily Show’s Ronny Chieng in the cast.

The book is much beloved, and all episodes will debut at once on November 19th, allowing you to binge a funny, insightful story.
Wayne Brady: The Family Remix
Everyone loves Wayne Brady, and the comedian has agreed to let the walls down long enough for people to witness his personal life.

This series features Brady’s “Core Four” family members, including his business partner (and ex-wife).
As part of the story, Brady will examine the impact of his coming out as pansexual to his family.

People
As Brady himself states, “This would have been so much easier if this was just a show about us doing TikToks.”
This series airs on Freeform in less than two weeks. The pilot debuts on July 24th at 10 p.m. EDT.
High Potential
ABC’s most ambitious new series this fall is yet another procedural.
However, for fans of the network or a certain FX series, it will feel familiar.
You’ve watched Castle, right? This is similar to that, only the murder-solver this time is a woman.

In fact, she’s a brilliant but bored housewife who uses her genius-level intellect to deduce the identity of killers.
Along the way, she encounters a by-the-books cop who is put off by the absurdity of working with a rank amateur.

The police officer changes their tune once unsolvable mysteries get solved quickly by the mother of three who works as a janitor.
Kaitlin Olson of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia stars in this series, which means my wife is gonna make me watch it.

Garret Dillahunt is also in the cast. So, no matter what the season-long murder mystery is, I’m pretty sure he did it.
High Potential airs on ABC on September 17th at 10 p.m. EDT.
After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun
Okay, here’s the strangest new program this year. When you think Disney content, you don’t really think Baywatch.
Still, the long-running series was the most-watched program in the world for several years.
Like, you could be in Cambodia, and you’d find it on your television on a random Saturday.
![Baywatch](https://mickeyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Baywatch.jpeg)
![Baywatch](https://mickeyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Baywatch.jpeg)
Yahoo News
Now, many cast members have agreed to speak about their Baywatch experiences for the first time.
You’ll be surprised to know that many of them are guarded because the popularity and nature of Baywatch led to many awkward moments.
![Baywtach 2](https://mickeyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Baywatch.jpg)

Some fans violated their boundaries and scarred them for life.
Producer-director Matthew Felker spent several years trying to convince the cast to speak on their experiences.
![Baywatch 2](https://mickeyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/450806431_17949963101805997_7849568639457139450_n-1.jpg)

ABC
One of them, Gregory Alan Williams, would only agree to do so after Felker wrote a full-length essay about his plan.
If none of this makes sense to you, I swear that you had to be there.
Anyway, After Baywatch premieres August 28th on Hulu.
