Everything Coming to Disney+ in May 2026

A new month, a new batch of releases on all of your go-to streaming services. May will ring in some big finales on Disney+, with season-ending episodes for both Daredevil: Born Again and Star Wars: Maul Shadow Lord. It’s not all finales, though. The streamer will also premiere the new MCU special, The Punisher: One Last Kill, as well as a fortune-telling reality series and a new version of Sofia the First.

Without further ado, here’s what’s coming to Disney+ in May.

Everything Coming to Disney+ in May

Perfect Crown, starring IU and Byeon Woo-seok, will continue to stream new episodes every Friday and Saturday. The streaming service recently revealed that the series literally took the crown as the biggest K-drama premiere on Disney+ to date.

Other Hulu Originals coming to the service include new seasons of The Boss and Impuros. Travis Japan Summer Vacation!! in the USA, a reality series starring the titular boy band Travis Japan, will premiere with three episodes and continue to release one new episode every Friday.

Outside of premieres, Disney+ will be picking up the family-centric movie We Bought a Zoo.

May 2

• Perfect Crown (Hulu Original) – New Episode

May 4

• American Idol Season 9 (ABC) – Streaming live at 8pm ET
• Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord – Two-Episode Season Finale

While Disney+ will be livestreaming a new episode of American Idol, the more obvious event of the day is May the Fourth, otherwise known as Star Wars Day. Disney+ will be celebrating with the final two episodes of Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, a new animated series we’ve been loving so far.

We reviewed the first eight episodes ahead of release, with writer Jesse Schedeen highlighting the “rock-solid voice cast and the incredible score by Kiner Music” in particular.

May 5

• Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 – Season Finale at 6pm PT

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 will also premiere its final episode right after the end of Star Wars: Maul. While viewership seems to have tapered off since the first season, we’re still enjoying the MCU reboot. Our reviewer, Eric Goldman, put it in simple terms that “it sure feels good to once more see Matt Murdock put on that costume and go toe to toe with a bunch of guys who are very much asking for trouble.”

The new season happens to bring back a host of fan-favorite characters, though there’s no telling where they’ll end up after this finale.

May 6

• Gold Land (Hulu Original) – New Episodes

The K-drama Gold Land premiered on Disney+ back in April and will continue to stream new episodes every Wednesday.

May 8

• Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir Chibi: Shorts Season 1 – Premiere

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir is getting a new chibi-themed series of shorts premiering exclusively on Disney+. For even younger tots, the streamer is also getting new episodes of Playdate with Winnie the Pooh.

Speaking of chibis, Chibiverse, which was originally a spin-off of the Chibi Tiny Tales shorts, is premiering a fourth season with three new episodes.

May 12

• A Marvel Television Special Presentation: The Punisher: One Last Kill – Premiere at 6pm PT
• Tucci in Italy (New Season) – Premiere

One of the bigger MCU releases for the month, The Punisher: One Last Kill is a new hour-long special written by none other than the Punisher himself, Jon Bernthal. The Punisher has had a pretty massive role in Daredevil: Born Again, but it still remains to be seen whether he’ll appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Disney+ will also be premiering a new season of Nat Geo’s Italy-focused travel series hosted by Stanley Tucci.

The State of Disney+ Plans

Standalone Disney+ plans currently start at $11.99. While the service offered a bundle deal in March, we haven’t seen any discounts on the ad-free plan since prices were hiked last October. Yep, that includes Black Friday deals, which were once again limited to the ad-supported bundle with Hulu.

Speaking of, the service is all about the bundles now, with plans including Hulu, HBO Max, and ESPN Unlimited. While it doesn’t offer a direct free trial, you can technically try out all of the Disney-owned services through Hulu + Live TV three-day trial.
