In May 2022, Disney+ is bringing the final episode of its latest Marvel TV show, a behind-the-scenes look at this and a Star Wars TV show, a different type of competition series, a musical comedy movie, a hybrid/animated movie, and a highly-anticipated Star Wars TV series. The coronavirus pandemic continues but the world is slowly but surely regaining some normalcy, and while cinemas all over the world are back in action, streaming platforms are still a main source of entertainment for many. Platforms like Disney+ keep their audience entertained with new licensed and original content every month, and one of the perks of the Mouse House’s streaming service is that it adds new titles from its different branches every month.
April saw the arrival of the musical comedy movie Better Nate Than Ever, various documentaries to celebrate Earth Day, the series of animated shorts Scrat Tales, and a new episode of Marvel’s Moon Knight. May will see less content than in previous months, but it will see some titles from the National Geographic branch, such as Life Below Zero, Secrets of the Zoo, and Hubble’s Cosmic Journey, as well as content from Disney Junior, like season 1 of The Chicken Squad.
All eyes, then, will be on the new original content, and with good reason, as there are some big releases coming in May, such as the season finale of Moon Knight, a behind-the-scenes look at it and The Book of Boba Fett, a musical-comedy movie, the return of Chip n’ Dale’s adventures, and the adventures of Obi-Wan Kenobi after Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. Here’s everything new to Disney+ in May 2022.
