What’s new on Disney+ in May 2025

It may be a Star Wars-heavy month on Disney+, but Marvel fans will undoubtedly be happy to see Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse debut on the streamer on May 1. This was one of the few films that defied superhero fatigue in 2023 with a rousing story and an ending that still has us excited to see Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse around two years from now. But at this rate, the third film won’t hit Disney+ until 2029!

Andor season 2 will wrap up the series with six episodes in May, but Star Wars fans will also get a new animated anthology series, Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld, on May 4. Meanwhile, the second season of Doctor Who on Disney+ will also wrap up, which leaves one wondering what’s in store for June when neither Star Wars nor Marvel has any shows slated to debut next month.

Our roundup of everything new on Disney+ in May 2025 can be found below, with our favorites highlighted in bold.

Everything coming to PBS in May 2025
The cast of Miss Austen.

If there's a theme for PBS programing in May, it's Great Performances. There are four Great Performances specials through out the month including Kiss Me, Kate and Yellow Face. If you want a better seat for a professional play or musical, you'd have to buy a ticket.
However, the month is a little light with imported dramas from overseas, save for the premiere of Miss Austen on Masterpiece Theater. But there is more than enough original programing across May including Independent Lens, Nature, and Nova. It's all free, even with PBS facing impending pressure about the potential loss of funding from the government.
If you missed the best shows on PBS from April, you can still stream those online. However, you'll have to wait for the premiere dates listed below to catch everything coming to PBS in May.

Are you looking for more shows to watch this month? If so, check out our guides on the best new shows to stream, the best shows on Netflix, the best shows on Hulu, and the best shows on Disney+.
