Disney+ has a rare month featuring both a Marvel and “Star Wars” series, as well as a slew of holiday offerings in December.
Technically, Marvel’s Avengers spinoff miniseries “Hawkeye,” starring Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld, premieres Nov. 24, but four of its six episodes will air in December, with the finale Dec. 22.
And once that’s done, it’s time for everyone’s favorite intergalactic bounty hunter, with the highly anticipated “Mandalorian” spinoff “The Book of Boba Fett” (Dec. 29). The eight-episode series will focus on the seedier side of the “Star Wars” universe, as Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) and his mercenary friend Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) look to take over the late Jabba the Hutt’s criminal empire on Tatooine.
