Twice a year, the Television Critics Association (TCA) hosts a press event where channels and streamers present the latest programming news to the media, and this week Disney+ revealed details of some upcoming shows at the TCA Summer 2022 event.
This particular TCA event was actually really light on the number of shows talked about, but that was probably due to the fact that next month Disney fans have both Disney+ Day (Sept. 8) and D23 Expo 2022 (Sept. 9-11) where info will just be flowing.
Here are the shows Disney+ talked about at the TCA Summer 2022 press tour:
