Disney unveiled new details about its upcoming television slate at this year's Upfronts presentation. Among the announcements, ABC, a Disney subsidiary and the broadcaster for the Academy Awards, officially confirmed that Conan O'Brien will return to host the 99th annual ceremony next year, marking his third consecutive year at the helm. The 99th Academy Awards are scheduled to air live on ABC from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 14, 2027. This will be the penultimate ceremony broadcast by Disney, as YouTube is set to take over exclusive global rights starting with the 101st ceremony in 2029.
In television news, the "Star Wars" series "Ahsoka" Season 2 is slated to premiere on Disney+ in early 2027. Additionally, the Marvel series "VisionQuest" is confirmed to debut on Disney+ on October 14, 2026. For streaming films, "Camp Rock 3," starring the Jonas Brothers, is scheduled for an August 2026 release on Disney Channel and Disney+. However, these projects currently only have general release windows by month, with no specific dates announced yet for "Ahsoka" Season 2.
