Disney+ starts October with the second season of ‘Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+’ on October 1. The preschool series brings Mickey and his familiar group of friends back for another set of adventures, making it one of the month's early additions for younger viewers.

The series was filmed over almost four years across nearly 30 countries. National Geographic says it also captures previously undocumented animal behavior, including black rain frogs and hyenas hunting elephants in the Congo.
