Disney Plus subscribers are going to be very, very happy in the month of May, as a whole host of new TV shows and movies are arriving on the streaming service, with flagship exclusives dropping that are not available on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or Paramount Plus.
Disney Plus has been schooling the competition since its launch and now has over 100 million subscribers worldwide despite only being available for roughly a year and a half. Its mixture of best-in-class libraries of content, which include Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, Star and The Simpsons, as well as event television like WandaVision and Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and its non-stop exclusives, such as Raya and the Last Dragon, are combining to deliver a best-in-class streaming service with, as T3 noted in our Disney Plus review, truly "out of this world content".
And now Disney Plus is getting even more top new content in May, with a mixture of movies, TV shows and fresh Disney Plus Premier Access content, too. Here's everything Disney+ subscribers can look forward to this month, with a few highlights picked out by T3, followed by a list of everything that is incoming.
New Disney Plus shows in May – T3's top picks
Star Wars: The Bad Batch – A spin off from the Star Wars: The Clone Wars series, this new show, which arrives on Star Wars day (May 4th), follows the story of an elite bunch of experimental clone soldiers who have to undertake a series of missions in the aftermath of the Clone Wars. The show is the brainchild of Dave Filoni, who is better known for his work on The Mandalorian.
Inside Pixar: Unpacked – The continuation of every Pixar fan's dream show, Inside Pixar delivers a series of personal and cinematic stories that provide an inside look into the people, artistry, and culture of Pixar Animation Studios. This series of unpacked shows features five more that focus on films like Brave, Up, Ratatouille and The Incredibles. The new series hits Disney Plus on May 21.
Cruella – Coming on Disney Plus Premier Access, Cruella is a '70s real life action origin story of the famous 101 Dalmatians villain, with Emma Stone playing the lead role. The film also stars Joel Fry, Emily Beecham, Mark Strong, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, and Jamie Demetriou. Debuts on Disney Plus on May 28.
