Want to know what’s arriving on Disney Plus in May? You’re in the right place. Below, we’ve rounded up every single new TV show, movie, and documentary heading to the House of Mouse’s streaming service, including cartoon classics, and several momentous trips to a galaxy far, far away.

Yep, that’s right: Disney Plus in May is full to the brim with Star Wars. Not only is Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker landing this month, but Star Wars Day will see the premiere of the behind-the-scenes documentary and the Clone Wars finale. That’s a whole lot to take in – and you won’t want to miss out.

Elsewhere, there are dozens of hours of documentaries to fill up the doubtless free time you’ve accrued recently, plus superhero cartoon action for the kids, game shows, and even a poke around Disney’s storied archives. What more could you want? For those in the UK, we’ve even bolded everything definitely coming to Disney Plus in May and will update as soon as we find out more.

Senior Entertainment Writer

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
