May 2026 on Disney+: Every New Release You Can’t Miss
April’s fading fast—and May is set to heat up your queue. Hulu has dropped its May lineup, kicking off a wave of fresh arrivals across the streaming world just in time for early-summer binges.
May is basically here, and Disney+ just laid out what is landing next month. If you live on a steady diet of capes and lightsabers, this is a good one: Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord wraps on May 4 (yes, timed for the day), Daredevil: Born Again closes out Season 2 on May 5, and Marvel drops a brand-new Punisher special on May 12.
Heads-up on a programming quirk: you are going to see a bunch of Hulu and ABC titles in this lineup. That is because Hulu on Disney+ is now a thing in the U.S., so Hulu originals and select live events show up inside Disney+. If you are not on a plan that includes Hulu on Disney+, or you are outside the U.S., availability may vary. Also, some items are truly live with set times noted.
Highlights before you scroll
May 4 locks in the two-episode finale of Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord, and the very next day, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 sticks the landing. A week later, Marvel keeps the momentum with A Marvel Television Special Presentation: The Punisher: One Last Kill on May 12. On the family side, Bluey Minisodes return May 20, and Disney Junior staples like Minnie and Winnie the Pooh get fresh shorts across the month.
