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.

How to stop watching YouTube Shorts?

I’ll be honest — I have zero self-control when it comes to YouTube Shorts. It doesn’t matter if I’m working or casually watching TV; the moment one short grabs my attention, I’m pulled straight into an endless scroll I didn’t really sign up for. And that’s the last thing I need when I’m trying to stay focused. Back in October last year, YouTube introduced a timer to help limit how long you spend on Shorts. It was helpful, but it didn’t quite solve the problem. Now, there’s finally a way to remove Shorts from your feed altogether. I had to try it for myself, and safe to say, it makes a real difference. Here’s how you can get rid of Shorts from your feed and keep the distractions at bay.

After price hike, YouTube Premium is now half the price if you pay for Google One
YouTube Premium is suddenly half off, but only if you buy into Google One

YouTube Premium got harder to justify after its recent price hikes, and YouTube Music Premium also followed soon after. But Google now has a new way to make the bill sting a little less.

The Gemini team just announced a bundle deal that lets users get 50% off YouTube Premium for a whole year. But while this sounds solid on paper, this is not a no-strings-attached promo deal.
