Disney's next Marvel Studios production - Moon Knight - has now hit its streaming service. The studio first revealed during its Disney+ Day presentation in 2021 that it was working on the TV series, and now it's finally available to watch.
Here's everything you need to know about Moon Knight, including what the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase Four project is about, who stars in it and how to stream it.
What is the premise of Moon Knight?
The six-episode TV series tells the story of hired gun Marc Spector.
Saved by Egyptian gods when left for dead in the desert, Spector dons the mantle of Moon Knight. He has dissociative identity disorder and is generally a little crazy. Over the course of the comics, Spector's identity changes quite a bit, as does his backstory. For instance, in some versions, he has superpowers, acting as the vessel for Moon God Khonshu. But, in other iterations, he is more of a mortal.
Oscar Isaac stars as Moon Knight.
Who stars in Moon Knight?
In addition to Oscar Isaac, the cast is rounded out by Ethan Hawke in a villainous role. May Calamawy is also cast in the series. Jeremy Slater, who worked on Josh Trank's ill-fated Fantastic Four reboot and adapted superhero drama The Umbrella Academy for Netflix, is leading the writing team on Moon Knight.
It's was also reported that Mohamed Diab served as a director.
When will Moon Knight premiere?
The official release date was 30 March 2022.
Where can you stream Moon Knight?

How to catch up and get ready for Moon Knight
There are over two dozen Marvel Studios movies and shows to watch. It's hard to say if any of those are essential to the new show.
Pocket-lint has rounded up the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe and the best way to watch it here. We suggest at least watching the new Disney+ shows or everything after Avengers: Endgame, since that film closes out Phase Three and we're now well onto Phase Four with Moon Knight.
