Last month, Disney Plus brought us some new “Bluey” minisodes, and in August, the streaming service is set to welcome another family favorite, but one from a galaxy far, far away.
Yes, shortly after bringing “The Acolyte” to a close, we’re back in the Star Wars universe for “Young Jedi Adventures,” which is returning for a second season. In addition, Disney is also welcoming a new travel show following BTS members Jimin and Jungkook on a new adventure.
Here’s everything else that’s due to hit Disney Plus this August.

‘Are You Sure?!’
Shot in 2023 before the pair enlisted in the military, “Are You Sure?!” is a reality show following BTS’ Jimin and Jungkook on a globetrotting trip to three iconic destinations: New York state; Jeju Island, South Korea; and Sapporo, Japan.
Together with the two stars, we’ll see the pair take in the sights and sounds of their three destinations as they ‘eat, shop, cook, camp, canoe, swim and road trip together’, per a synopsis. Sounds like a perfect way to revel in the pair’s friendship as they bond on this exciting new venture!
After a two-episode premiere on August 8, new episodes will drop on a weekly basis.
Get ready to be reunited with Kai, Lys, Nubs and more as the first half of “Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures” debuts on Disney Plus on August 14. Per an announcement from showrunner Michael Olson, we know that the ‘action-packed’ new season will see the gang face ‘thrilling challenges’ and welcome a brand new class of younglings to Tenoo.
Oh, and in the new trailer, you’ll note the gang are sporting fresh Padawan mission robes, a brand new crew of space pirate foes, and newcomer Wes Vinik.
