It’s an exciting week on Disney+ with the launch of the new series Prop Culture, the first time Disney has released all episodes of an original series on the same day. We also have two days for new original programming this week with the usual new releases on Friday and two bonuses on Monday, May 4th, in celebration of Star Wars Day. Those include the series finale of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the new behind-the-scenes series, Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian. A lot of movies and TV shows join the streaming service this week as well, including Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker on May 4th, some of Walt Disney’s True-Life Adventures shorts, and staples of the 1990’s like Homeward Bound and George of the Jungle. Whatever you choose to watch, we hope you have a magical week with Disney+.
