new on Disney+. A warm welcome to the conundrum that is Disney+: It is a streaming service that has blockbuster brands but a very limited selection of original programming compared to other services. The lineup that Disney+ has planned for the month of May is the best illustration of this. Due to the fact that the series finale of Star Wars: The Bad Batch, the three-part season finale of X-Men ’97, and the debut of Star Wars: Tales of the Empire will all be streaming throughout the month, fans of Marvel and Star Wars have a lot of reasons to be thrilled. Even a new season of Doctor Who is scheduled to premiere on May 10, and the second season of Monsters at Work from Pixar is scheduled to premiere on May 5.

In addition to that, fans of music will be able to anticipate films on The Beatles, Queen, and The Beach Boys, while Jim Henson, the creator of The Muppets, will be the subject of his very own documentary. When you consider that everything we mentioned above amounts to around 94% of Disney+’s original programming for the whole month of May, you may find that every single one of those things sounds fantastic. What about the remaining portion of it? There is no main course here, despite the fact that we are huge fans of dessert. In addition, June does not have a popular Marvel program to fall back on, which means that the summer has the potential to seem somewhat uninteresting in the House of Mouse.
If you have been visiting the home page of Disney+ in recent times, you would have noticed that the majority of the content can be found on Hulu, namely episodes and movies. The combination of Hulu and Disney+ is a powerful combination, but in order to get the same level of functionality as a single streaming service, you will need to pay for both of them.
As you scroll below, you will see a compilation of everything that is new on Disney+ in the month of May 2024. Our favorites are highlighted in bold.
Have you not yet signed up for Disney+, or are you considering upgrading? At a cost of $14 a month, the Disney Bundle provides you with access to three different services for the price of one: Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+.
