Holo‘s popularity can be attributed to its wide range of great old TV shows and films and some high-profile original shows, including Only Murders in the Building, Paradise, and The Handmaid’s Tale. The platform’s collaboration with FX has also produced some of the platform’s most iconic and popular shows, including The Bear, Reservation Dogs, and Shogun.
This May, the charming and often poignant documentary series Welcome to Wrexham, co-starring Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, returns for a fifth season. Another familiar face, Lisa Ann Walter of Abbott Elementary School, will present her first comedy special on May 15 on the platform.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Disney Plus is already the streaming home for the entire Star Wars film and TV universe. If you don’t subscribe or have a package that includes it, you can now watch Rogue One: A Star Wars Story plus Star Wars: A New Hope, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi on Hulu — no Disney subscription needed. While the original three films are clear classics, we love Rogue One, mainly because it introduced us to Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), also the star of the previous series. Andorwhich may be one of the best offers out there.
