Then Andy Sachs herself, Anne Hathaway, came onstage! She talked about both _The Princess Diaries_ and The Devil Wears Prada before welcoming Josh D'Amaro, the new Disney CEO.\n\n* * *\n\n## Everything you missed from the 2026 Disney Upfront.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nListen, I really am a Disney kid at heart and seeing all my favorite stars talk about Disney magic literally gave me goosebumps. Then, with \"Man I Need\" by Olivia Dean playing in the background, Paul Anthony Kelly from _Love Story_ came onstage and I literally gasped. If it was appropriate to scream in such a professional work setting, I would have.\n\nRita Ferro took to the stage to talk all of Disney's biggest numbers (a lot of which are ESPN, let's be real). Super Bowl 2027 is the first game on Valentine's Day. Jason Kelce welcomed a huge all-star team of Super Bowl winners before Mandy Moore, William H. Macy, and Chris Meloni took the stage for _The Land_ on Hulu — which also stars my girl Chloe Bennet!\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nJulianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro introduced the _Dancing With the Stars_ professionals...and then Robert Irwin made a surprise appearance to announce _Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro_ and let us know that Jackson Olson from The Savannah Bananas is joining the new season of _DWTS_.\n\nRobin Roberts took the stage to talk all about ABC news & Good Morning America (and confirm Conan O'Brien is hosting next year's Oscars). Ke Huy Quan (from _Indiana Jones: Temple of Doom_ and _Zootopia 2_) showed up too!\n\nSigourney Weaver announced _Avatar: Fire and Ash_ will be coming to Disney+ this summer, and welcomed Rosario Dawson to the stage to talk about _Ahsoka_ season 2 before it drops on Disney+ in early 2027.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThen Robert Downey Jr. took the stage to talk about Marvel Television, and _Avengers: Doomsday_ — duh — before his speech was crashed by Tom Hiddleston! And then Paul Bettany made a surprise appearance to talk about _VisionQuest_ , the conclusion of the _WandaVision_ trilogy (behind the original series and _Agatha All Along_). The show gives us a whole new look at his character Vision...and seems to bring back Ultron (James Spader) in human form.\n\nABC stars Quinta Brunson (_Abbott Elementary_) and Kaitlin Olson (_High Potential_) told us all about Disney TV, as well as _Scrubs_ ' Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke. Things got horrifying when the _American Horror Story_ cast showed up — including brand new addition Paul Anthony Kelly! But that's not all Ryan Murphy has for us. _The Shards_ is a brand new drama about a writer at a teenage prep school with a serial killer edge. I guess it's kind of like _Gossip Girl_ meets _Law & Order_?\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nShailene Woodley, Lindsay Lohan, and Kit Harington took the stage to talk about their new show _Count My Lies_ (which is Lindsay's first TV role!). Olivia Coleman and Brie Larson were also at the presentation to give us the latest update on their new mystery show _Cry Wolf_.___The Spot_ is another new mystery crime show starring Ewan McGregor and Claire Danes.\n\nAnd it wouldn't be a Disney presentation without an NBA and WNBA presentation, which included a look at Billie Jean King's _Give Me the Ball_ and an appearance from Billie Jean King herself! The legend hit some signed tennis balls into the audience, which got a lot of cheers.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nRyan Seacrest introduced Jimmy Kimmel, who immediately started making the audience laugh. And then he surprised us all by announcing Olivia Rodrigo was coming onstage — and the former Disney star closed out the show with a concert! Whew. What a wild day.\n\n**Follow Brit + Co on Facebook for more pop culture news.**",
