Fans should note that while the episodes will become available in the early hours UK time, they will be viewable in the US. So, 2am on a Wednesday in the UK is 9pm in places like New York, Indiana, and Florida.
This means fans should be cautious about using social media, as American viewers may have already watched the latest episodes before British fans have had their breakfast.
It appears that fans will need to carve out some time on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day to catch up on the latest episodes. Occasionally, Disney+ releases alter their schedules, so these dates and times listed are subject to change.
