WHAT’S NEW ON DISNEY+ “The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers”

Calling all ‘90s babies, youngsters and hockey fans, the Mighty Ducks are back with a new addition to the franchise nearly 25 years after the last installment was released. “The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers,” a new Disney+ series, is skating its way onto the streamer, and it premieres on Friday, March 26.When 12-year-old Evan (Brady Noon, “Boardwalk Empire”), an aspiring hockey player, tries out for the powerhouse Mighty Ducks junior hockey team, he finds himself in a league of his own.Amid serious young hockey aficionados and intense parents who’ve hired private coaches and sports psychologists for their children, Evan never stood much of a chance of getting on the team. But when he is denied as a Mighty Duck, Evan’s mother,Alex (Lauren Graham, “Gilmore Girls”), decides to create a team of their own, one specifically designed for those who simply want to play the game for the love of the sport and a bit of fun. Knowing nothing about hockey herself,Alex decides to recruit a familiar face: former Ducks coach Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez, “The Breakfast Club,” 1985). Resolute in his new disgust for all things related to hockey and children (despite the fact he owns an ice rink), Bombay finds that Alex is one mother who is very hard to say no to.The new series, directed by Michael Spiller (“Modern Family”), Jay Karas (“Superstore”) and James Griffiths (“Black-ish”), is set to run for 11 episodes during its first season and also stars Maxwell Simkins (“Bizaardvark”), Swayam Bhatia (“Succession”), Bella Higginbotham (“Troop Zero,” 2019) and Kiefer O’Reilly (“Home Before Dark”).

“Pickle and Peanut” Seasons 1 and 2

It’s time to tune in for some animated fun with the titular best friends of “Pickle and Peanut” because the Disney XD series is coming to Disney+ on March 26. Comprised of two 21-episode seasons, “Pickle and Peanut” follows the adventures and misadventures of two comical buddies who are dying to cram as much fun and teenage experience as they can into their last few years before adulthood. Peanut (voiced by Johnny Pemberton, “Superstore”), the more outspoken and brazen of the two friends, will always stick up for what he believes to be right — even when he may actually be wrong. Pickle (voiced by Jon Heder, “Napoleon Dynamite,” 2004), on the other hand, is the more honest and emotional friend — though this also often gets him into trouble as he follows along with Peanut’s crazy schemes. Created by Noah Jones (“Fish Hooks”)

WHAT’S NEW ON HULU “Solar Opposites” Season 2

No need to panic. Everything is “back to normal” in the second season of “Solar Opposites,” premiering Friday, March 26, on Hulu.At the end of this crude animated adult comedy series’ first season, it seemed as though the alien family had fixed up their ship and were about to head home.Alas, nothing goes quite according to plan for Korvo (voiced by Justin Roiland,“Rick and Morty”),Terry (voiced by Thomas Middleditch, “B Positive”), Jesse (voiced by Mary Mack, “Golan the Insatiable”),Yumulack (voiced by Sean Giambrone, “The Goldbergs”) and the Pupa (voiced by Sagan McMahan). Since crash landing in middle America at the beginning of the series, the family have been deciding whether life is better there or on their home planet. Now, eight episodes into their saga, the aliens will battle a whole new set of challenges as they are forced to live on Earth a little longer. From ravenous dogs to an explosive case of testosterone-fueled “energy” and the concept of murder for the sake of humanmade (literally) wine, this new season is sure to be just as odd and crass as the first — it will even be touching on the pandemic! The eight-episode second season was, like the first, created by Roiland and Mike McMahan (“Rick and Morty”).

“Into the Dark: Blood Moon”

Another part of the horror anthology series “Into the Dark” is coming to Hulu on Friday, March 26, and it’s written by “Songbird’s” (2020) Adam Mason. “Blood Moon,” the latest installment and finale of the project’s sophomore season, tells the story of Esme (Megalyn Echikunwoke, “Damien”) and her 10-year-old son, Luna (Yonas Kibreab, “Silicon Valley”), who make a move to a small town in the desert, hoping for a fresh start together.Tied to the arrival of the first full moon of spring (which this year is set to arrive two days after the episode lands on the streamer), this episode makes it clear that Esme and Luna have a sinister, possibly magical secret to hide from their new neighbors. Desperate to keep the townspeople out of their private lives, Esme struggles to protect her son and herself at all costs. Also featuring roles played by Marco Rodriguez (“Velvet Buzzsaw,” 2019), Joshua Dov (“Westworld”), Gareth Williams (“Mindhunter”), Danielle Juliet Ma (“Enchantments”) and Brian R.

Eager to prove his worth, the pack elders decide to give Freddy until the next moonrise to prove that behind his small and delicate facade lies a ferocious warrior with the heart of a wolf. Directed by Alexs Stadermann (“The Woodlies”), “100% Wolf” features the voices of Jai Courtney (“Suicide Squad,” 2016), Jane Lynch (“Glee”), Rhys Darby (“Fight of the Conchords”) and Samara Weaving (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” 2017).
