Disney Plus’ new drama does something different: daily soapy drops of Spanish show Return To Las Sabinas

The best streaming services tend to approach new episodes in different ways. While Netflix has long offered full seasons in single, fun episodes, Prime Video and Apple TV Plus prefer to release new episodes once a week. And now Disney Plus is getting in on the action with another season planning option. It’s a new Spanish drama Return to Las Sabinaswhose first five episodes are already available, there will be a new episode every day for the next 65 days.

That’s a lot of days and a lot of episodes for a streaming show, but Return to Las Sabinas draws on something that is already well established: the soapy dramas broadcast daily by television networks in most parts of the world. While this is new territory for streaming and the best Disney Plus shows, it’s very familiar to fans of daytime drama series.
