MUST-SEES

The Drop: A Snowfall Saga – Available now

Set in early-1990s Los Angeles, this story follows a recovering addict rebuilding her life while trying to elevate West Coast rap into the spotlight. As gang conflicts intensify and major record labels look to capitalize on hip-hop’s rise, she fights to carve out her place in a city undergoing seismic cultural shifts.

Arriving on Disney+ three years after Snowfall wrapped — the series that propelled Damson Idris to stardom — The Drop centers on familiar faces like Wanda (Gail Bean) and Leon (Isaiah John). The spin-off immerses viewers in a tense, emotionally charged world where danger and high stakes are constant companions.

Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger – Available October 9

Experience the near-real-time reunion of the iconic band Oasis. As the much-anticipated Live ’25 tour marks one of rock’s biggest comebacks, the documentary Don’t Look Back in Anger — produced by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight — captures the scale of the event, the band’s emotions, and fans’ reactions around the globe.

From backstage access to rehearsal footage, the film digs into every facet of the tour and, for the first time in over 25 years, features exclusive interviews with brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher. It’s an intimate, immersive portrait of a major musical moment in 2025.

VisionQuest – Starts October 14

After being resurrected in WandaVision, Vision is living off the grid, searching for purpose and identity. He leans on the AI personalities built into his system to make sense of himself. But his quiet existence is upended when a bounty is placed on him, forcing him to flee alongside Thomas Shepard, a mysterious young boy who may be the reincarnation of his son. To survive, Vision must confront his true nature, resist Ultron’s influence, and unravel the mystery surrounding the boy at his side.

This new Marvel Studios series is the third chapter in a trilogy that includes WandaVision and Agatha All Along. Paul Bettany returns to the role of Vision for an eight-episode season, released weekly on Wednesdays. James Spader also reprises his role as the menacing Ultron, once again haunting Vision, his so-called “spiritual progeny.” Expect an emotional, colorful show that doubles as a compelling exploration of consciousness and likely hides a few revelations — especially with Avengers: Doomsday due in theaters on December 16.

Around the same time, a piece that once belonged to their father — who vanished a decade earlier — resurfaces at a prestigious exhibition at the Eiffel Tower. The sisters decide to take a daring risk to steal the artwork, hoping it will reveal what happened to him.

Their heist quickly draws the attention of Quentin Chapuis (Mohamed “MB14” Belkhir), captain of the BRB, who vows to catch the elusive thieves. He doesn’t realize, however, that one of them might be the love of his life. Originally a TF1+ hit, Cat’s Eyes reaches Disney+ this month thanks to a landmark partnership between the two platforms.
