Every new movie and show coming to Disney Plus in May
Disney Plus launched in 2019 with most of Disney’s back catalog, but the platform has not yet reached maximum capacity. In addition to original content, such as the new season of the Mandalorian, a huge number of older movies and shows trickle down to Disney Plus every month.
It’s May, which means it’s May 4, which means Disney Plus has a few Star Wars treats on the way. One is about a group of young Jedi (takes place centuries before Anakin slaughters them all), while the other is the 2021 successor Star Wars: Visions anthology. In addition, there is an Ed Sheeran documentary, the American born Chinese TV adaptation and a Muppets show about Electric Mayhem.
