If you enjoyed the critically acclaimed HBO miniseries Chernobyl, you’ll love the new documentary now streaming on Disney+. While Disney+ has a solid collection of documentaries – though not as extensive as Netflix – this one is particularly captivating. It stands out from many of the science-focused documentaries available through National Geographic (also on Disney+) because it explores a historical event with fascinating scientific implications. It’s a perfect pairing for fans of the 2019 Chernobyl series.
The documentary Chernobyl: Inside the Meltdown is currently a hit on a popular streaming service, ranking as one of the top ten most-watched shows at number seven, according to FlixPatrol. This is notable as it’s performing well alongside popular titles like The Testaments, Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, and Daredevil: Born Again.

If you were captivated by the dramatization of the Chernobyl disaster, Disney+ now offers a documentary featuring interviews with people who experienced the 1986 incident.
