*****

November’s adventures on Disney+ will stretch from Mount Olympus to the Christmas tree. With Percy Jackson returning, Marvel’s “VisionQuest” reaching its conclusion and holiday specials arriving throughout the month, subscribers will have plenty to fit between Thanksgiving preparations and shopping trips.

The announced lineup combines new series, documentaries, children’s programming, live entertainment and podcasts. Among the highlights are the third season of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” “Mickey’s Home Alone,” “Dasher” and the live presentation of the 60th Annual CMA Awards.

This guide covers announced U.S. Disney+ arrivals, including titles Disney lists for both Disney+ and Hulu. Programs listed exclusively for Hulu are not included, and availability may depend on location and subscription.

Percy Jackson returns for a third adventure

“Percy Jackson and the Olympians” returns Nov. 20 with a two-episode premiere. The new season adapts “The Titan’s Curse,” the third book in Rick Riordan’s series, bringing Percy another dangerous mission involving Annabeth’s disappearance and a prophecy with consequences for Olympus.

Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri return as Percy, Annabeth and Grover. Additional episodes arrive Nov. 27, while the show’s official companion podcast begins its new season alongside the premiere.

Marvel’s November dates come with an update

“VisionQuest,” starring Paul Bettany, reaches its final two episodes early in the month. The series continues the story of Vision following “WandaVision” and “Agatha All Along.”

U.S. viewers should note a scheduling distinction: Although Disney’s monthly announcement lists Wednesday dates, updated release reporting places the final episodes on Tuesday evenings, Nov. 3 and Nov. 10, at 9 p.m. Eastern. The calendar below uses those U.S. dates.

Holiday stories arrive before Thanksgiving

Disney’s seasonal programming includes “A Proud Family Wizmas” on Nov. 14, a stop-motion special in which Penny Proud must help repair a Christmas disaster. Later in the month, “Sofia the First: Royal Magic” adds a holiday episode on Thanksgiving.

“Mickey’s Home Alone” follows Nov. 27, leaving Mickey and Pluto behind as their friends depart for a holiday outing. “Dasher,” arriving Nov. 28, draws inspiration from Matt Tavares’ picture book about a young doe whose journey helps shape the story of Santa’s flying reindeer.

Wildlife, racing and live entertainment broaden the lineup

Documentary options include “Wolves Up Close with Bertie Gregory” and “Expedition: Saving Our Seas.” A separately announced addition, “The Pursuit: F1 Academy,” premieres Nov. 19 and follows women pursuing opportunities in competitive motorsports.

The racing special features drivers including Doriane Pin, Maya Weug, Chloe Chambers and Alisha Palmowski, examining the demands of competition and the sacrifices involved in advancing through the sport. It also explores the organization’s leadership, including managing director Susie Wolff.

Live programming includes “Dancing with the Stars” and the CMA Awards, while younger viewers get additions featuring Ariel, Bluey, Mickey Mouse, the SuperKitties and more. The complete announced calendar follows, with recurring podcasts grouped separately for easier browsing.
