Disney Plus has revealed its full lineup for May 2026, and the month is shaping up to be a particularly busy one for Marvel, Star Wars, Hulu Originals, and family programming. The streaming platform continues to expand its catalog with a mixture of returning originals, live broadcasts, animated content, and exclusive premieres, while also leaning heavily into franchise-driven releases that remain central to Disney’s broader streaming strategy.
Among the biggest highlights this month are the season finale of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, the premiere of Marvel Television’s The Punisher: One Last Kill, and the two-episode conclusion of Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord. Outside of Marvel and Star Wars, Disney+ is also introducing a wide range of international Hulu Originals, children’s programming, National Geographic content, and companion podcasts tied to some of its most popular series. It is a surprisingly varied lineup in some ways, especially considering how concentrated Disney’s branding usually tends to feel.
Below is a complete breakdown of everything coming to Disney Plus in May 2026.

Disney Plus continues to rely heavily on its established franchises and cross-platform Hulu integration, but May 2026 also shows the service expanding deeper into international programming and event-based content. Between Marvel premieres, Star Wars finales, live television simulcasts, and an increasingly large collection of family-oriented originals, the platform is clearly attempting to maintain engagement across multiple audiences at the same time. Whether subscribers are interested in superhero dramas, animation, documentaries, or reality programming, the service is making sure there is no shortage of weekly additions throughout the month.
