Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z fan, I am thrilled about the upcoming releases on Disney+ in November 2023. The streaming service has put together an exciting lineup of movies and shows that cater to various interests, and I can't wait to dive into them.

First on my list is "Behind the Attraction" Season 2. As a huge fan of theme parks and Imagineering, I am always eager to learn more about the stories behind the attractions I love. The first season of "Behind the Attraction" was incredibly informative and entertaining, and I can't wait to see what the second season has in store. I'm particularly excited about the episodes on "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Indiana Jones Adventure."

Another must-watch for me is "Spider-Man: Far From Home." I'm a big fan of the Spider-Man movies, and I'm eager to see what's next for Peter Parker after the events of "Avengers: Endgame." The trailer for "Far From Home" looks action-packed and funny, and I can't wait to see how Spider-Man fares against the Elementals and Mysterio.
