What to Watch on Disney Plus in August Action Stories History and More

06 Aug 2025
  • Why does this series feel more intense than typical sci-fi?
  • What makes this animated series stand out?
  • Why is Chris Hemsworth’s series surprisingly relatable?
  • Why does this case still stir up strong reactions?
  • What makes this documentary more than just a history lesson?

We’ve all been there. But this August, Disney Plus is finally giving viewers something that feels... different. There’s a little more grit, a little more risk-taking, and honestly, a lot more to chew on. From sci-fi battles that feel eerily close to home, to deep dives into Arabian history, to animated heroes rewriting their legacy it’s a month packed with stories that actually make you want to sit down, unplug, and just watch.

Alien: Earth brings the fight closer than expected

Alien: Earth brings the fight closer than expected

Alien: Earth doesn’t play by the usual space invasion rules. It’s bleak, grounded, and at times, almost too real. The future it paints isn’t shiny or hopeful it’s raw and desperate, and that’s what hooks you. It’s not just about aliens. It’s about what happens when humanity has its back against the wall. The visuals hit hard, the tension builds fast, and by the end of the first episode, you’re already asking, “What would I do in that world?”

Eyes of Wakanda adds layers to the Marvel universe

Eyes of Wakanda adds layers to the Marvel universe

Let’s be honest Marvel has a lot of content out there. But Eyes of Wakanda doesn’t feel like more of the same. It travels through time with purpose, spotlighting unsung warriors who’ve shaped the kingdom’s history. It’s rich with culture, sharper in tone, and surprisingly emotional. You get action, of course, but you also get a sense of heritage and weight that’s rare for animation. It’s a slower burn and that’s not a bad thing.

Limitless gives self-improvement a real-world edge

Limitless gives self-improvement a real-world edge

Sure, Hemsworth is a literal god in the MCU, but in Limitless, he strips it all back. No hammer, no cape just raw challenges and science-backed experiments to stretch the limits of body and mind. The thing is, it’s not preachy. It doesn’t act like you’re broken or lazy. It’s more like, “Here’s what’s possible want to try?” And the show doesn’t sugarcoat the struggle. It’s awkward, sweaty, and sometimes even a little funny.

Amanda Knox’s story still feels uncomfortably relevant

Amanda Knox’s story still feels uncomfortably relevant

The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox goes beyond the headlines, digging into the messiness of perception, media, and judgment. Watching it now, in a world obsessed with true crime and instant opinions, feels a bit like holding up a mirror. It’s not an easy watch but that’s what makes it worth your time. It challenges what you think you know, and leaves you sitting with more questions than answers.

Lost Treasures of Arabia gives history a pulse

Lost Treasures of Arabia gives history a pulse

This one’s a gem especially for viewers from the Gulf or anyone curious about the region’s roots. National Geographic doesn’t just showcase Petra and Hegra with pretty drone shots. It tells the story. You feel the rhythm of trade, the mystery of forgotten kingdoms, the ambition of builders and travelers. And while it’s packed with facts, it never feels like homework. It feels like stepping into a chapter of history that still echoes today.

So if you’ve been waiting for Disney Plus to shake things up a bit August is your moment. Just pick a title, hit play, and let yourself get pulled into something unexpected.
