Disney+ may be without a big Marvel show in May, but the streamer is trying to make up for it with two tentpoles in its 2021 release schedule.
The first is coming on Star Wars Day, May 4. Animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch is a spin-off to The Clone Wars, about a brave mercenary force of clones.
In May, the streamer will be offering another new movie to subscribers prepared to pay for "Premier Access"—an extra $29.99. Cruella, a reimagining of the 101 Dalmatians story starring Emma Stone, follows the Premier Access releases of Mulan and Raya and the Last Dragon.
Read on for all the new movies and TV shows coming to Disney+ in May, including a new season of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.
