The delightful Williams family of 1960s Montgomery, AL, wrap up their second season on ABC’s The Wonder Years, and World Princess Week kicks off with an exciting new special on Disney+; meanwhile, stars a-plenty gather across networks (for the eighth time!) to raise funds for an extremely worthy cause… There’s so much more where that came from—read on for what you can expect:

The Wonder Years—season finale now streaming on Hulu
The Wonder Years wraps up its second season with two new episodes… In “Happy Birthday, Clisby,” the Williams gather to celebrate Clisby’s (Richard Gant) 75th birthday—including Bill’s (Dulé Hill) brother Melvin (Malcolm-Jamal Warner) and his daughter. While Bill and Melvin try to one-up each other for Clisby’s approval, Melvin’s daughter shares big news with Lillian (Saycon Sengbloh) and Kim (Laura Kariuki). In “The Happiest Place on Earth,” the season finale, the family decides to go on vacation; Kim suggests a road trip to Austin College, while Dean (Elisha “EJ” Williams) proposes a stop at Disneyland Park. In the meantime, after meeting up with his old bandmates, Bill reflects on his life choices.

He is readying to fight another person to the right, who’s dressed in a white button-up shirt and black pants. They are facing one another in fighting poses, with their arms up, on a grassy field. Behind them is a line of teenagers, all wearing white jumpsuits with black stripes down the arms and legs. A yellow flag with a line depiction of a lion is seen flying on a pole behind the teens to the right.

Miguel Wants to Fight—now streaming on Hulu
Despite living in a neighborhood where fighting is stitched into the fabric of everyday life, high school junior Miguel (Tyler Dean Flores) has never found himself in one. And, to be honest, he’s perfectly fine with that… But when a combination of events turns his life upside down, Miguel and his three best friends—the stoic David (Christian Vunipola), the rowdy Cass (Imani Lewis), and the quick-tongued Srini (Suraj Partha)—enter into a series of hilarious misadventures as he tries to get into his first-ever fight. This new Hulu Original Film is directed by Oz Rodriguez and written by Jason Conception and Shea Serrano.
