Almost two years after raunchy comedy-drama series Rivals debuted on Disney+ and blew viewers away, the series is finally returning, this time with weekly drops and a mid-season break, as opposed to the first season’s binge release model.
It isn’t the only big British-based series returning to Disney+, as Welcome to Wrexham is also back for its fifth season.
These shows arrive as a host of hit series continue to release episodes weekly, including The Testaments, Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord and Daredevil: Born Again.
The latter series will be followed immediately by another Marvel project, a one-off special starring Jon Bernthal called The Punisher: One Last Kill.
Elsewhere, there are a new set of Bluey minisodes releasing to entertain younger audiences and parents alike, while Stanley Tuccie returns for more adventures in Tucci in Italy season 2.
Last but not least, Sam Raimi’s film Send Help, which released in cinemas just earlier this year, is now coming to Disney+.
Below, you can find the full list of titles coming to the streamer throughout May 2026 to help you answer the burning question: is Disney+ worth it?
