Upcoming Star Wars Shows: Story, Casts & Everything We Know
Summary
- Disney is expanding the Star Wars universe with more interconnected TV shows set at different points in the timeline.
- Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is a unique coming-of-age show set during The Mandalorian era, set to be released in December 2024.
- Going forward, expect Andor season 2 and Ahsoka season 2 as well.
More Star Wars TV shows are on the horizon now than ever before. Disney has evolved Star Wars into a trailblazing transmedia franchise of interconnected books, comics, video games, and a stunning range of Disney+ TV shows. The Mandalorian was essentially the flagship Disney+ program, released as a launch title for the streaming service in 2019.
The TV shows are set at different points in the Star Wars timeline. The Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka are spin-offs of The Mandalorian, set roughly five years after Return of the Jedi. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor both take place during the Dark Times of the Galactic Empire – as does the animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch, a spin-off of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Now, even more Star Wars TV shows are on the way, along with new seasons of existing installments in Disney’s TV library.
