'Travis Japan Summer Vacation!! in the USA'
This reality series sends Japanese boy band Travis Japan on a North American road trip through the Rocky Mountain. Split into teams, one group takes on the journey by RV while the other takes the time to immerse itself in local culture. It could be a vacation special similar to the likes of other American bands' tour diaries, but this show takes the time to introduce you to the boys as well as offer some time to get to know their music and personalities while they take in the American culture permeating every area around them.

'The Punisher: One Last Kill'
Frank Castle returns for another round of gritty violence in this "special presentation". This time, however, he's looking to find some kind of meaning in the violence beyond the pure drive for revenge that's always fueled him. He's seemingly backed away from the killing game for a while, but there's a mysterious force that brings him back into the fold for another confrontation -- details are sparse as to what, but you can bet it's going to be bloody.
Stream on Disney Plus beginning May 12
'Battle of Fates'
This Korean competition show centers on 49 "fate readers" skilled in shamanism, saju, tarot, and face reading. They're all set to prove who can genuinely read someone's destiny. That makes it a bit of a more psychological bid than usual -- how can you see if someone's future and fate can actually be read? We'll find out when this unique twist on classic game shows debuts and all of these contestants' abilities are put to the test.
