Among the new arrivals in the Disney Plus catalog in this very sultry end of June 2023 we also find Great Expectations: let’s find out all the details together in this article
If, certainly, Avatar 2 stands out among the recent additions to the Disney Plus catalog of films and TV series, it must certainly be admitted that limiting oneself to James Cameron’s latest work is very devaluing of the enormity and complexity of the series present on the blue platform. For example, all the films belonging to the Indiana Jones franchise have already been added, in view of the last chapter with Harrison Ford. Let’s see together, in this short dedicated article, what are the latest major additions!
Great Expectations
One of the most interesting news of this June 2023 is definitely Great Expectations, original miniseries with Olivia Colman consisting of six episodes (all already available) and based on the novel of the same name by Charles Dickens. The cast also includes Fionn Whiteahead, Ashely Thomas, Johnny Harris, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Trystan Gravelle and Owen McDonnel. The synopsis is as follows:
The series follows the coming-of-age story of Pip, an orphan who wants so much more out of life, until a twist of fate and the evil machinations of the mysterious and eccentric Miss Havisham show him a dark world of possibilities. With great hopes placed upon him, Pip will have to figure out the true cost of this new world and whether it will make him the man he longs to be. An accusatory critique of the class system, Dickens’ novel was published in 1861, following its first publication in a series of weekly chapters beginning in December 1860.
Stan Lee | Disney Plus: among the new arrivals the original series Great Expectations!
Secondly we find the very interesting documentary about Stan Lee directed by David Gelb. The cartoonist, publisher and producer who died in 2018 comes back to life through 86 minutes of documentary, next to the world built in the Marvel Comics studios. The synopsis is as follows:
Stan lee is the official documentary about Stan “The Man” Lee and the journey that led him to be one of the most influential people in the world of comics and pop culture. Tracing his life from his difficult childhood as Stanley Lieber, to his meteoric rise in Marvel Comics, Stan Lee tells Stan’s story in his own words. Archival material, personal footage, interviews and audio recordings tell the origins of Stan and what came from: a vast universe of stories with compelling characters that resonated around the world. Stan Lee is both a story of comics and passion, and an intimate portrait of a man, his philosophy and the indelible mark he has left.
Tengoku-Daimakyou | Disney Plus: among the new arrivals the original series Great Expectations!
Finally, let’s move on to an anime series with Tengoku-Daimakyo. Consisting of 13 episodes, the series is a sci-fi and the synopsis is as follows:
In 2024, the world has collapsed. Deformed monsters lurk in the ruins of Japan, while the remaining humans scrape together what they can to survive. Kiruki, a handyman from Nakano, decides to fulfill a mysterious woman’s dying wish to take a boy named Maru to a place called “heaven”. Maru is convinced to find a boy identical to himself.
