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.

Do you need more suggestions on what to watch? We have guides to the best new shows to stream, the best shows on Disney+, the best movies on Disney+, and the best shows on Netflix.

If your weekend plans involve sinking into the couch and wondering what to do next, consider this your rescue package. This week's lineup comes with a bonus - every single movie here is completely free to stream. I dug through Tubi and Pluto TV's libraries and found a pothead comedy, a Swedish vampire film that reinvented the genre, and a Korean horror movie that still gets talked about years later. So, add these free films to your Weekend watchlist right away!

We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best free movies, and the best movies on Amazon Prime Video.

3 overlooked TV series on Prime Video you should watch this weekend (August 14-16)
These hidden gems on Prime Video with high ratings are perfect for you weekend binge-watch.

Prime Video's library goes far beyond the algorithm-driven hits everyone already knows about. I dug through some older, quieter gems this week, ranging from the chaotic world of a New York orchestra to a burnt-out lawyer taking down corporate giants and a slice-of-life comedy that deserved a much longer run. Whether you are looking for something dramatic, funny, or deeply human, these Prime Video titles worth adding to your watchlist this weekend.

Apple TV just got a bunch of classic movies, and they’re all worth a rewatch
Apple is quietly adding beloved films to its streaming library, giving subscribers plenty more than just its original shows and movies
Apple TV on an iPad.

Apple TV has quietly stumbled onto a pretty good streaming strategy: make great original shows and movies, then occasionally throw some genuinely great older movies into the mix. As part of its latest content drop, Apple TV has added a collection of classic and popular movies that subscribers can watch without paying an additional rental fee. The selection varies by region, but titles spotted so far include Arrival, The Martian, E.T., Gone Girl, Zodiac, Titanic, The Sixth Sense, The Bourne Identity, and Catch Me If You Can.

This isn't exactly filler content
