Just when you'd got your head around the seemingly endless viewing possibilities that Disney+ has to offer (Soul! Baby Yoda! The Hamilton film!), the mega-studio launches a brand new arm of its streaming platform.
Set to arrive on the service on February 23, Star will focus on more grown-up series and films, hosting programmes and movies from studios now owned by Disney, including FX and 20th Century Studios. It'll be available to all Disney+ subscribers for no extra cost (and there'll be parental control options to prevent your 10-year-old from, say, sitting down to watch Desperate Housewives instead of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series).
While a full line-up is yet to be announced, here's a first look at what you can expect from the platform, from original series to old favourites.

ABC
The latest project from David E. Kelley, the writer behind HBO hits Big Little Lies and The Undoing, will debut on Star in February. Big Sky follows a pair of private detectives (Kylie Bunbury and Ryan Phillippe) as they race to track down two sisters who have been abducted, before the kidnapper strikes again.
Love, Victor
A spin-off from the acclaimed 2018 YA movie Love, Simon, this second Star original series follows Victor, a high school student adjusting to a new city and grappling with his sexuality.
24
Each series of this Noughties thriller, starring Kiefer Sutherland as counter-terrorism operative Jack Bauer, famously consists of 24 episodes, one for each hour of the day. God knows we've all got a bit more TV viewing time on our hands than we'd expected this time last year, so why not embrace it and relive one of Bauer's extremely stressful days in real time?
Lost
One of the most talked-about - and mind-boggling - series of the Noughties, Lost follows the survivors of a plane crash who find themselves stranded on an island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Yes, everything gets a bit convoluted towards the end, but the first few seasons are golden.
Desperate Housewives

ABC
With its soapy storylines and a script that ricochets with zingy one-liners, Desperate Housewives is ripe for a re-watch (in fact, it's genuinely surprising that no one has tried to revive Marc Cherry's series yet, given TV execs' collective passion for rebooting past hits).
How I Met Your Mother
There was a time when E4 seemed to be exclusively devoted to broadcasting hour upon hour of US sitcom How I Met Your Mother, which follows Ted (Josh Radnor) in his quest for The One. If you miss those halcyon days, the whole thing - which also stars Jason Segel, Alyson Hannigan, Cobie Smulders and Neil Patrick Harris - will be streaming on Star for your re-watching pleasure.
Prison Break

Fox
Another Noughties favourite, Prison Break follows Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) as he gets himself locked up in jail - so that he can help his brother, who is on death row and has just months left to live, to escape.
The X-Files
Offering up another dose of nostalgia, Star will also boast all series of Nineties hit The X-Files, starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as Mulder and Scully, FBI agents tasked with investigating paranormal phenomena.
Atlanta

FX
Donald Glover's Emmy and Golden Globe-winning series is among the more recent offerings that will be available to stream on Disney's new platform. Glover stars as Earn, a college dropout who returns home to discover that his cousin has become one of Atlanta's most in-demand rappers.
Black-ish
This acclaimed US sit-com stars Tracee Ellis Ross and Anthony Anderson as an upper middle class American couple grappling with bringing up their four children. It's been widely praised for sparking important conversations about race, has spawned a handful of spin-off series and has earned Ross a Golden Globe.
