Disney is preparing hours of 9/11 commemorative coverage across ABC, Disney Plus, National Geographic, and more, giving its entertainment empire a decidedly solemn appointment with history. That arrives as Disney Plus readies an unusually busy lineup of anticipated titles, from Camp Rock 3 and Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear to FX’s The Shards, making the timing particularly notable.

Amid that entertainment parade, Disney is preparing to play a very different card with its expansive 9/11 commemoration this year.

Disney is preparing an expansive 9/11 commemoration as the attacks approach their 25th anniversary, with ABC News, National Geographic, Disney+, Hulu, ABC local stations, and ABC News Live all joining the coverage, as per Variety. The programming will honor the courage and resilience of survivors, witnesses, and first responders while revisiting the tragedy’s lasting impact.

The centerpiece will be a live national broadcast from ABC News and WABC-TV New York, alongside a new National Geographic documentary exploring stories connected to September 11. Disney has also worked with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum on portions of its editorial programming, adding historical context and firsthand perspectives to the anniversary coverage.

National Geographic will further expand the tribute with 9/11 Reunited, a three-part docuseries premiering August 21. The series focuses on first responders and witnesses before bringing them together with people they helped or encountered that day. Each episode will arrive on Disney+ and Hulu the day after its linear television broadcast as revealed by Variety.

As Disney prepares the Tangled live-action cast and its own expansive way to remember 9/11, viewers can also turn to these picks for stories that honor the day.

For viewers looking to commemorate 9/11 through film, several powerful dramas revisit individual stories from the tragedy with a focus on courage and survival. United 93 recreates the final moments aboard the hijacked flight, while World Trade Center follows Port Authority Police Department officers John McLoughlin and Will Jimeno as they fight to survive beneath the rubble.

Worth offers a different perspective, with Michael Keaton portraying attorney Kenneth Feinberg as he navigates the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. For a documentary approach, 9/11: One Day in America uses firsthand accounts from survivors and first responders, while 102 Minutes That Changed America presents archival footage from that devastating day. Together, these films provide thoughtful viewing choices for remembering 9/11.
