Disney Plus is ending one show and beginning another this October.
"Agatha All Along" has been a relatively quiet hit for Marvel and Disney Plus so far. While early reviews had critics and audiences split, things have settled and reviews are mostly positive from both camps. However, all good things must come to an end, and "Agatha All Along" will end on Oct. 30 with a two-episode series finale.
But when a witch closes a door, a wizard opens a window ... or, something like that. The beloved Disney Channel show "Wizards of Waverly Place" ran from 2007-2012 and launched the career of "Only Murders in the Building" star Selena Gomez. Now, Disney Plus is launching a sequel series," Wizards of Waverly Place," with an eight-episode series premiere on Oct. 30 before the "Agatha All Along" finale.
Of course, that's not all that's coming to Disney Plus this month. There are additional shows and movies, as well as live broadcasts of "Dancing with the Stars" and the "2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction." So without further ado, here's everything else that's landing on Disney Plus this October.
Top picks
'Agatha All Along' finale
"Agatha All Along" has finally arrived on Disney Plus after a few name changes. Reviews have been largely positive for this witchy campy show starring Kathryn Hahn reprising her "WandaVision" role as the witch Agatha Harkness. She's freed herself from Wanda Maximoff's spell in Westfield, New Jersey and is teaming up with her old and new allies to "walk the Witch's Road" to regain her wicked powers.
Those allies (and possibly enemies!) include Aubrey Plaza, Patti LuPone, Joe Locke, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, Maria Dizzia, Paul Adelstein, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Okwui Okpokwasili and Debra Jo Rupp. There are new episodes every Wednesday night this month, with the two-part series finale arriving on Oct. 30 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
Finale premieres Oct. 30 on Disney Plus
'2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction'

Blige, Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & the Gang, Ozzy Osbourne and A Tribe Called Quest, as well as posthumous inductions for Alexis Korner, John Mayall and “Big Mama” Thornton. Jimmy Buffett, MC5, Dionne Warwick and Norman Whitfield will also be inducted into the musical excellence category.
But these won't be the only acts in town, as artists like Busta Rhymes, Dr. Dre, Demi Lovato, Dua Lipa are expected to be in attendance to either present or perform. The "2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction" will livestream on Disney Plus on Oct. 19 at 7 p.m. ET, with ABC airing a primetime special featuring the evening’s biggest moments on Jan. 1, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET.

'Wizards Beyond Waverly Place'
The original "Wizards of Waverly Place" starred Selena Gomez as Alex Russo, a teenage wizard living on Waverly Place in Greenwich Village. She and her brothers Justin (David Henrie) and Max (Jake T. Austin) all trained their magical abilities with the goal of eventually winning sole custody of their family's powers.
In this sequel, the show centers on Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown), a powerful young wizard sent to the mortal world to be trained. Her teacher? Justin Russo, who had set aside his life as a wizard to live a normal life with his wife and two sons Milo (Max Matenko) and Roman (Alkaio Thiele). The first eight episodes arrive on Disney Plus on Oct. 30 — watch to see a potential cameo from Gomez reprising her role as Alex.
