The fourth season is currently being released each week on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+ in the United States and on Disney+ internationally. The previous three seasons are also available to stream now on those platforms.
Roger’s Take: It’s great to see Disney has already signed up for a fifth season and getting that announcement out now will help drive more investment in the series, as the worry about this show being cancelled is now out the way.
