Mufasa: The Lion King arrives on Disney+ on March 26
Despite earning a lot at the box office, the movie has a disappointing 57% Rotten Tomatoes score
It recently joins Moana 2 among the line-up of original Disney movies
Disney+ is expanding its library this month, as Mufasa: The Lion King arrives on one of the best streaming services on March 26, so you can bring the thrill of the Pride Lands to your own home. This follows other new movies, such as Moana 2 which arrives on Disney+ on Wednesday, March 12.
Despite the box office success of the original animated movie, though, Mufasa: The Lion King won't be added to our Best Disney+ movies roundup due to its disappointing 57% Rotten Tomatoes score. Still, if you want to watch the film and decide for yourself, it'll soon be available to stream.
Now is the perfect time to try out Disney+, as there's a great Hulu bundle deal available so you can check out the finest the streaming services have to offer.

If you're curious where Mufasa: The Lion King falls into the timeline, it's technically classified as a prequel and a sequel. This is because it's set after the events of the 2019 remake, The Lion King, while also exploring Mufasa's formative years, so it covers an extensive timeline.
Once again, there's a huge cast attached to this movie, such as Aaron Pierre as Mufasa, Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, and her daughter Blue Ivy Carter as Kiara.
Additional voices include Mads Mikkelsen and Seth Rogen, the latter of who just snagged a big new comedy at Apple TV+.

Disney+ viewers in UK risk £1k TV Licence fine if caught tuning into new content
Millions of Disney+ viewers are being warned they risk fines of up to £1,000 if they watch new content being added later this year. Usually, if you are watching streaming services like Netflix, Disney+ or Amazon Prime you do not require a TV licence. However, household in the UK is legally required to have a TV licence if they watch or record live TV, regardless of what channel it is on. Disney+ announced last month it had won the broadcasting rights to the UEFA Women's Champions League until 2030. This new deal will allow fans to watch every match live "at no extra cost". Powerful, fearless, determined and unstoppable 🏆 The UEFA Women's Champions League is coming to Disney+ #UWCL || @DisneyPlusUK — UEFA Women's Champions League (@UWCL) May 23, 2025 However, those hoping to watch the UEFA Women's Champions League on Disney+ will need to be careful of TV Licensing rules. The BBC confirmed to Cord Busters last year that viewers will need to purchase a TV Licence if they are to watch live events on streaming platforms. If viewers are caught watching live content without a TV licence, they could be fined up to £1,000. The majority of Disney+ content remains exempt from the TV Licence fee, as long as it is not being broadcast live. These are the occasions when you do not need a TV Licence. You do not need a TV Licence to watch: Streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ On-demand TV through services like All 4 and Amazon Prime Video Videos on websites like YouTube Videos or DVDs You do need a TV Licence if you: Watch or record live TV on any channel or service Use BBC iPlayer For those aged 75 or over who are in receipt of Pension Credit, the TV Licence can be obtained for free rather than costing £174.50. Guidance provided by TV Licensing says: 'Free TV Licences are only available if you're 75 or over and you, or your partner living at the same address, are receiving Pension Credit. 'If you think you're eligible for a free licence but can't apply online, please call 0300 790 6117* and speak to one of our advisors to request an application form (our lines are open between 8.30am and 6.30pm, from Monday to Friday). 'Once we've received your application it may take a few weeks to process. If there are any problems we'll write to let you know. We may also call you if you have given us your phone number. 'There are separate arrangements in place for over 75s on the Isle of Man, the Bailiwick of Jersey and the Bailiwick of Guernsey.' Even if you do not meet the eligibility criteria for a free TV Licence you may be able to get some money back on yours, so long as it is no longer needed.

Households across the UK can apply for a refund if you won't need your licence again before it expires, and you have at least one complete month left, or the licence fee for you expired less than two years ago. You can apply for a refund on the TV Licensing website (a link to which can be found above).

‘King of the Hill' cast and creators on revival: ‘Bobby's got a little bit of fame and a little bit of swagger'
'On August 4th I will be back, and I'm pissed off.' That's how King of the Hill cocreator and executive producer Mike Judge teased the long-anticipated revival of the Hulu animated series, in the voice of Hank Hill. The show will be returning for its 14th season on Hulu, after wrapping a 13-year run in 2009. More from GoldDerby David E. Kelley on the secret of his prolific career: 'Don't ever assume you're smarter than the audience' 'I'm glad I'm still alive': Jon Hamm and John Slattery on 'Mad Men,' 10 years later Watch the first 6 minutes of 'Wednesday' Season 2, from Netflix Tudum 2025 Judge offered a sneak peek at what's in store for Season 14 at a panel at the ATX TV Festival in Austin that also included cocreator and executive producer Greg Daniels, executive producer and showrunner Saladin K. Patterson, and voice cast members Pamela Adlon, Lauren Tom and Toby Huss. The new season finds Hank and Peggy having retired and returning to live in Texas, after working in Saudi Arabia; Bobby (as voiced by Adlon) is now 21 and working as a sushi chef — technically a "German sushi robata" chef — in Dallas. Judge said they had toyed with the idea of bringing the show back for years, but "when it clicked for me, I would just say, is when we start talking about actually aging the characters and the idea of Hank going to Saudi Arabia for a propane gig to retire off of," said Judge. "The ideas just started coming in. Because it's such a grounded realistic show, it just seemed right that they would be older. Bobby wouldn't be the same. That just seemed like the right thing." The actors said they'd been following the rumors of a revival for years. "I just never wish for things like that because it's too big of a dream," said Adlon. Once she was convinced it was real, she was quickly on board with playing an older version of her beloved character. "Bobby's got a little bit of fame and he's got a little bit of swagger," she said. "As an adult, he's become more centered and a bit more like his dad." Huss added, 'I came back because it was like I miss my friends. I miss my friends in real life, but I miss my cartoon friends. We used to have crazy adventures, and I want to have more adventures with them.' But some friends are missing — Brittany Murphy, who voiced Luanne, died in 2009, and Johnny Hardwick, who voiced Dale Gribble, died in August 2023. He'll be in the first six episodes, and then Huss will take over the role for the remaining four. Patterson, who stepped in as showrunner, said, 'We talked about the best way to honor them, the show and the fans as well. I don't want to give any spoilers, but we found opportunities to let them be referenced, in a very respectful way that people are going to appreciate.' Add Huss, 'I'm not trying to copy Johnny ... I guess I'm trying to be Johnny," said Huss. "He laid down a really wonderful goofball character ... he had a lot of weird heart to him and that's a credit to Johnny. So all I'm trying to do is hold on to his Dale-ness. We love our guy Johnny and it's so sad that he's not here.' Over its initial run, King of the Hill received seven Emmy nominations and won twice: Best Animated Series in 1999 and Adlon for Best Voice-Over Performance in 2002.
