Luckily, you don't have to waste precious time flicking through channels to find your next binge-worthy show. As a TV editor, my job involves spending all day keeping up with the latest releases and I've handpicked five top-notch recommendations on Disney+ for you to check out.

The Bear
Since its debut on Disney+ in 2022, The Bear has quickly become a fan favourite. The series follows the journey of Carmy, a young chef with fine dining training, who takes over his family's struggling sandwich shop after a tragic loss.
Alongside a diverse team of kitchen staff and his family, he strives to turn the business around and find personal contentment.
The much-anticipated fourth season is set to premiere this month. The synopsis reveals: "Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto , Sydney Adamu and Richard "Richie" Jerimovich push forward, determined not only to survive, but also to take The Bear to the next level. With new challenges around every corner, the team must adapt, adjust and overcome. This season, the pursuit of excellence isn't just about getting better – it's about deciding what's worth holding on to."
The cast features Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, with special guest appearances from Olivia Colman and Will Poulter.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
One of the most captivating series on Disney+ at the moment. Everyone I've recommended this show to has become hooked after just one episode.
The series trails a group of Mormon mum influencers who find themselves embroiled in a swinging sex scandal. As they manoeuvre relationships, faltering friendships, betrayal, pregnancy and striving to make their MumTok business successful, you'll be engrossed by the drama.
And, there's good news - once you've whizzed through series one and two, you can catch the Reunion on 1st July.
High Potential
This series discreetly landed on Disney+ earlier this year but it wasn't long before it earned a Rotten Tomatoes score of 96%.
Following Morgan, a single mum of three, she possesses high intellectual potential meaning she has an extraordinary mind. She transitions from being a cleaner to assisting the LA police solve murders whilst striving to be the best mum she can.
With Kaitlin Oslon heading the cast and 13 episodes to delve into, this series should be at the top of your must-watch list.
Welcome to Wrexham
Currently in its fourth season, Welcome to Wrexham tracks Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney after they purchased Wrexham football club. They learn about managing a club and making a positive impact on the town as they aim to elevate the team to the Premier League.

With a star-studded cast and an abundance of drama, Rivals is unmissable. Adapted from Jilly Cooper's 1988 novel, it delves into the rivalry between MP Rupert Campbell-Black and Tony Baddingham.
