Meanwhile, The Maze is an adventure competition much like The Amazing Race but with teens. The series will see five teams consisting of one adult and one teen who embark on an epic journey as they solve riddles and unlock clues that lead them through European cities and fairy tale villages. As each team gets closer to their final destination, only one will reign supreme.

The Disney+ unscripted series Meet the Chimps will offer up an intimate view of Chimp Haven, one of the largest wildlife sanctuaries in the world. The six-part docuseries will follow the highs and lows of these extraordinary beings through everyday issues ranging from food fights to romances and friendships to tantrums and high jinks.
