Disney+ Originals & UK Exclusives – May 2025 Highlights
STAR WARS: TALES OF THE UNDERWORLD – 4th May 2025 (Series Boxset)
The third instalment in the Tales anthology series, following ‘Tales of the Jedi’ and ‘Tales of the Empire’, revisits beloved characters to explore previously untold yet pivotal stories. The new six-episode journey follows two notorious bounty hunters: former dark side assassin Asajj Ventress as she’s given a new chance at life and must go on the run with an unexpected new ally, and outlaw Cad Bane as he faces his past when he confronts an old friend, now a marshal on the other side of the law.
THE GREAT NORTH, Season 5 Part 1 – 7th May 2025 (Series)
Follow the Alaskan adventures of the Tobin family, as a single dad, Beef, does his best to keep his weird bunch of kids close – especially his only daughter, Judy, whose artistic dreams lead her away from the family fishing boat and into the glamorous world of the local mall. Rounding out the family are Judy’s older brother, Wolf, and his fiancé, Honeybee, her middle brother, Ham, and ten-year-old-going-on-fifty little brother, Moon. While their mother is not in the picture, Judy seeks guidance from her new boss, Alyson, and her imaginary friend, Alanis Morissette, who appears to her in the northern lights.
FX’s WELCOME TO WREXHAM, Season 4 – 16th May 2025 (Weekly Series)
Rob McElhenney (“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”) and Ryan Reynolds (“Deadpool”) navigate running the 3rd oldest professional football club in the world. “Welcome to Wrexham” is a docuseries tracking the dreams and worries of Wrexham, a working-class city in North Wales, UK, as two Hollywood stars guide the future of their historic Club.
MATTEO LANE: AL DENTE – 16th May 2025 (Special)
Comparing his stand-up to catching up with your old friend at brunch, Lane uses his new hour to share a glimpse into his travels, friendships and unique family background. He taped it at Eli and Edythe Broad Stage in Santa Monica last October.
ABBOTT ELEMENTARY, Season 4 Part 2 – 17th May 2025 (Series Boxset)
Workplace comedy following a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal —as they navigate the Philadelphia public school system. Despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life, and though these incredible public servants may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don’t love the school district’s less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.
TUCCI IN ITALY – 19th May 2025 (Series Boxset)
National Geographic invites audiences on a mouthwatering journey with Academy Award-nominee, Emmy, and Golden Globe-winner Stanley Tucci in TUCCI IN ITALY. Produced by Tucci’s SALT Productions and BBC Studios Specialist Factual Productions, the five-part series follows Tucci across Italy’s stunning landscapes as he explores the deep connections between food, culture and history. More than a travelogue, it’s a rich, narrative-driven dive into the country’s iconic culinary traditions. Along the way, Tucci meets locals, chefs, artisans, and even cowboys to uncover hidden gems and untold stories with National Geographic’s signature storytelling and his trademark wit. Tucci indulges in a Sienese feast in Tuscany, samples farm-to-table innovation in Lombardy, and rediscovers Lazio’s rustic soul. For the first time, he visits Trentino-Alto Adige for pine needle pesto in the Alps and explores Abruzzo’s wild seafood rituals atop a centuries-old trabocco. This is Italy like you’ve never seen it—flavorful, heartfelt and unforgettable.
REMATCH – 21st May 2025 (Series Boxset)
Inspired by true events, Rematch is a psychological thriller about the historic confrontation between Garry Kasparov, the greatest chess player of all time, and IBM’s supercomputer, Deep Blue. This human vs. machine battle will forever change the perception of artificial intelligence.
