The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has a TV-14 rating with high-intensity action scenes, and you can watch all six episodes of the series with new episodes dropping weekly on Disney+. Episodes will vary in length, from 45 to 55 minutes.
As we previously saw in the series’ trailer, the show also stars Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter, Daniel Brühl as Baron Zemo, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, Noah Mills, and Carl Lumbly. The show picks off after the events of 2019’s Avengers: Endgame — after Steve Rogers has relinquished his role as Captain America and Falcon has stepped into his boots.
Fans will then be waiting for the forthcoming Loki, the animated series What If…? (coming summer 2021), as well as Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, Hawkeye, and many, many more. Find a full list of the shows coming to Disney+ this year here.
