Star Wars: The Bad Batch is just one of many things joining Disney+ for the month of May. The original series The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers wraps its first season on May 28. The series is a follow-up to the Mighty Ducks films, but in this series, that hockey team has become the villains, and it’s up to a group of young hockey players to take them down.

Additionally, arriving on May 28 to Premier Access is Cruella. The 101 Dalmatians prequel tells the origin story of the fur coat-wearing villain Cruella Deville as she transforms from a nobody into a woman that wants to make dogs into clothes. However, until the vast majority of Disney+’s offerings, you’ll have to pay a little extra to watch it. Premier Access content sits behind a paywall and you’ll have to pay $30 to watch Cruella–but you can watch it as many times as you like.
