Pentatonix: Around the World for the Holidays

Superstar a cappella group Pentatonix is struggling to find inspiration for their annual holiday album, and the clock is ticking. To make matters worse, their well-intentioned but misguided manager mistakenly locks them in a magic mailroom.

But with the help of some Disney magic, we’re soon on a whirlwind tour around the world, discovering holiday traditions and inspiration from Pentatonix fans all around the globe: from Japan to Grenada, Iceland to Ghana and Mexico. The journey leads the group to realise wherever we find ourselves, the holidays offer the perfect opportunity to discover how much we have in common and that it really is a small world, after all.

Our Only Chance

Candela (Aitana), a young woman who works in a logistics company while pursuing her dream of becoming a singer. Her life changes one night when an international record company executive hears her singing in a bar. That same night, Candela reunites with Diego (Miguel Bernardeau), a high-school classmate who is struggling to become a professional boxer.

This Spanish musical-drama series follows the pair on a journey through love and friendship as they struggle to make their way in the world.

Darby and the Dead

After suffering a near-death experience as a young girl, Darby Harper (Riele Downs) gains the ability to see dead people. As a result, she becomes introverted and shut off from her high school peers and prefers to spend time counseling lonely spirits who have unfinished business on Earth.

But all that changes when Capri (Auli’i Cravalho), the Queen Bee of the school’s most exclusive clique, unexpectedly dies in a freak hair straightening accident, resulting in the obvious cancellation of her upcoming sweet 17. Capri then pleads with Darby from the other side to intervene and convince Capri’s friends to proceed with the party as planned.

In order to appease the wrath of the undead diva, Darby must emerge from her self-imposed exile and reinvent herself — which allows her to find new joy back in the land of the living.
