Wedding Season
Fall head over heels for this all-new romantic comedy thriller.
A Disney+ original created right here in the UK, Wedding Season is an absolute one-to-watch.
This genre-busting series tells the story of hopeless romantic Stefan who meets the charismatic Katie, and despite her engagement to the son of a wealthy property magnate, a whirlwind affair begins over a summer of weddings. But before long, they're on the run from the law, with Katie the prime suspect in a shocking crime. Can they fend off police, organised criminals, and their complicated feelings for one another as they try to clear their names?
With a plot full of twists and turns, this is a laugh-out-loud tale of marriage, murder and a manhunt that spans the Scottish Highlands to the bright lights of Las Vegas.
Pinocchio
A classic story is brought to ‘real’ life in this Disney+ original movie.
Disney’s live-action retelling of Pinocchio stars Tom Hanks as Geppetto, Academy Award nominee Cynthia Erivo as the Blue Fairy and Luke Evans as The Coachman.
In addition, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (Flora and Ulysses) will voice the title character of Pinocchio, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the voice of Jiminy Cricket, Keegan-Michael Key as the voice of Honest John and Lorraine Bracco as the voice of Sofia the Seagull, a new character in the film.
Combining live action and visual effects, the film, directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Zemeckis and Chris Weitz, is inspired by Disney’s 1940 animated classic.
