The Disney+ shows on ITVX are getting a major refresh, with 10 new titles arriving over the next three months – and some of them are absolute bangers.
If you’re not familiar, ITVX has been carrying a rotating selection of Disney+ content since summer as part of an unusual content-sharing deal between the two streaming giants.
Now, starting in January, viewers will get access to critically acclaimed hits like The Bear, Marvel’s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and a TV series continuation of The Full Monty – all available to watch for free with adverts.
The new additions will roll out gradually between January and March 2026, giving ITVX viewers a chance to catch up on some of Disney+’s most talked-about programming (and some… lesser talked-about programming) without needing to pay for a separate subscription.
Quick Recap: The Disney+ And ITVX Partnership
Back in July, Disney+ and ITVX struck an unusual deal to share content with each other.
It was a first-of-its-kind partnership that saw Disney allowing its premium shows to appear on a free streaming platform, whilst ITVX got to showcase its content to Disney+ subscribers.
The arrangement works through curated collections on both platforms – a “Taste of Disney+” on ITVX and a “Taste of ITVX” on Disney+.
When the deal went live in late July, Disney+ titles like Andor, Futurama, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Desperate Housewives became available to stream for free on ITVX (with adverts), or ad-free for ITVX Premium subscribers.
It’s worth noting that these selections rotate regularly. As new Disney+ shows arrive on ITVX, some of the existing titles will likely disappear to make room.
So if you spot something you want to watch, don’t hang about.
Also, if you’re subscribed to ITVX Premium through Prime Video Channels, these Disney+ shows won’t be available there – they’re only accessible through the standalone ITVX app or website.
What’s Coming And When
Here’s the complete rundown of what’s arriving on ITVX over January, February and March 2026:
7th January: The Bear (Season 1)
This is the big one. The Bear has become something of a cultural phenomenon since it launched on Disney+ (via the FX/Hulu pipeline).
The show follows Carmy, a fine-dining chef who returns to Chicago to run his family’s sandwich shop after a personal tragedy.
What starts as a straightforward premise quickly evolves into something far more nuanced – exploring grief, ambition, family dysfunction, and the brutal reality of running a restaurant.
The kitchen scenes feel genuinely chaotic in a way that anyone who’s worked in hospitality will recognise immediately.
The performances are exceptional across the board, but it’s the show’s ability to balance intense drama with moments of unexpected warmth that really sets it apart. If you’ve not watched it yet, this is your chance to see what all the fuss has been about.
14th January: Black Cake
Based on Charmaine Wilkerson’s novel, Black Cake tells the story of two estranged siblings who must come together after their mother’s death. As they listen to her voice recording, they discover a hidden past that takes them from the Caribbean to London to California.
The show stars Mia Isaac, Adrienne Warren, Chipo Chung, and Ashley Thomas, weaving together past and present to gradually reveal family secrets.
It’s a multi-generational drama that explores identity, immigration, and the complicated legacies parents leave behind.
14th January: Stolen Youth: Inside The Cult At Sarah Lawrence
This documentary series examines the disturbing true story of Larry Ray, who manipulated a group of Sarah Lawrence College students after moving into his daughter’s dorm accommodation.
The film includes unprecedented access to survivors who lived with Ray, following the cult from its origins through to its aftermath.
It’s a deeply unsettling look at psychological manipulation and how intelligent young people can fall under the influence of a charismatic predator.
21st January: Ed Sheeran: The Sum Of It All
If you’re curious about what goes on behind the scenes with one of Britain’s biggest musical exports, this documentary series offers an unusually candid look at Ed Sheeran’s life.
The show promises to be “searingly honest” – covering both his professional success and personal challenges. Given Sheeran’s tendency to keep his private life relatively guarded, this represents a more open approach than we’ve typically seen from him.
4th February: American Housewife (Season 1)
This sitcom follows Katie Otto, a confident and unapologetic wife and mother of three, as she navigates life in the wealthy Connecticut town of Westport. Unlike her neighbours, Katie’s family is decidedly imperfect, which creates plenty of comedic friction.
The show stars Katy Mixon (who you might recognise from Eastbound & Down), alongside Diedrich Bader, Johnny Sequoyah, and Daniel DiMaggio.
It’s very much in the tradition of American family sitcoms, but with a slightly sharper edge than your typical network comedy.
11th February: She-Hulk: Attorney At Law
Marvel’s She-Hulk takes a different approach to the superhero genre by blending legal comedy with the usual action and spectacle.
Jennifer Walters is an attorney specialising in superhuman-oriented legal cases who also happens to be able to transform into a green, super-powered Hulk.
Tatiana Maslany (best known for Orphan Black) leads the cast, with Jameela Jamil in a supporting role. The show directly breaks the fourth wall, with Jennifer frequently addressing the audience about the absurdity of her situation.
It’s a deliberately comedic take on the Marvel formula, which divided audiences when it first aired. Some appreciated the lighter tone and legal procedural elements, whilst others found it too far removed from traditional superhero fare.
18th February: Will Trent (Season 1)
Based on Karin Slaughter’s bestselling novels, Will Trent follows a Special Agent at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation who was abandoned at birth and grew up in Atlanta’s foster care system.
Despite (or perhaps because of) his difficult background, Trent has developed an unusual ability to see details others miss, giving him the highest clearance rate in the GBI.
Ramón Rodríguez plays the title character in what’s essentially a procedural crime drama with a damaged-but-brilliant detective at its centre.
11th March: Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance Of Sherri Papini
This documentary examines the bizarre case of Sherri Papini, who vanished from her rural California neighbourhood in 2016, triggering a massive search that became international news.
When Sherri was found three weeks later, claiming she’d been kidnapped, it seemed like a miraculous ending to a terrifying ordeal. But as investigators dug deeper, the story became far stranger and more complex than anyone initially suspected.
18th March: Vanderpump Villa (Season 1)
Lisa Vanderpump – who you’ll know from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Vanderpump Rules – brings her particular brand of reality television to a French château in this series.
The show follows Vanderpump’s hand-selected staff as they work, live, and play at an exclusive estate called Chateau Rosabelle. Expect plenty of drama, romantic entanglements, and the kind of over-the-top luxury that’s become Vanderpump’s trademark.
18th March: The Full Monty (Season 1)
It’s been 25 years since the original Full Monty film captured hearts (and other things) across Britain, and now we’re getting a TV series that catches up with the Sheffield strippers.
Robert Carlyle, Mark Addy, Lesley Sharp, Steve Huison, and Paul Barber all return, with Talitha Wing joining the cast.
Gaz is now a grandfather but hasn’t mellowed with age, Dave is devoted to his wife Jean (who’s dealing with her own challenges as a headmistress), and the gang is forced to confront how much the world has changed since they last stripped for a cause.
How To Watch
All these shows will be available for free on ITVX with adverts, or ad-free if you’re subscribed to ITVX Premium (£5.99/month).

You can also watch on the ITVX website or in the ITVX mobile apps.
If you’re already subscribing to Disney+ and wondering whether this affects your subscription, it doesn’t change anything – you’ll still get access to all these shows (and their additional seasons) through Disney+ as normal.

So, no season two of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, then?
All Star Trek streaming rights revert back to Paramount+ next year
Unfortunately.
Yes, I probably should have remembered that all Star Trek shows are reverting back to Paramount. Thanks for the reminder.
Also, the deal with I.T.V.X only seems to include one season of each telly show. Presumably, Disney are hoping that people will subscribe to see the rest. But I won’t be doing that, as I have given up on ALL subscriptions. It’s only so-called “free” telly for me now!
