Star Wars on Disney+: Info, dates, casting… everything you need to know about the upcoming series of this legendary sci-fi saga!

Although the franchise is currently on hiatus in cinema, the projects derived from the Star Wars saga continue on the TV side! Since the release of The Mandalorian, the first live-action made-for-television production, Star Wars productions have quickly taken over the streaming space through the Disney+ platform.

Of course, not all series were successful. The disappointment of the Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi book was tempered by the popular and critical success of Ahsoka and Andor. So many ways to remind us that fans of the Star Wars universe have a level of demand that is very difficult to meet.

What’s next for Disney+? Here’s a rundown of all the series that are currently in production, rumored projects, and canceled series as well!

The series is in production

The Mandalorian Season 4

Season 4 has officially begun filming, but isn’t scheduled to air until 2025. Despite everything, there is good news for fans, as it is not specified that this fourth season will be the last. The Mandalorian & Grogu feature film, due in theaters in 2026, will not be the final film, but an additional adventure in the series.

Few details have filtered in on the content of this season 4, which will be a new beginning for the Mandalorian turned Space Ranger. The next few episodes will no doubt be dedicated to the late Carl Weathers, Gref Karga’s interpreter for the first three seasons of the program, who left us on February 1st.

In particular, due to scheduling reasons, it is possible that Pedro Pascal will only make a symbolic appearance in the filming of Season 4 this season. However, his absence will not affect the transfer, the character will appear with a mask and will be able to participate in the game. About studying, especially for action scenes.

Asulite Season 1

The upcoming Star Wars series on Disney+ will be a prequel to a three-film trilogy. For the first time, the main character of the program will be a Sith, who is skilled in the dark side of the force. The series takes place in the era before the arrival of the Jedi and the formation of the Council on the planet Coruscant.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the iconic characters of the saga will appear in this program. However, rumors suggest a possible appearance by Sheev Palpatine, the future Tyrant Emperor also known as Darth Sidious of the Sith. A Yoda cameo is not out of the question, due to the longevity of his species.

The main character of The Acolyte is called May and is played by Amandla Stenberg (Rue in the Hunger Games Saga). The series credits also include several internationally renowned actors: Lee Jung-jae (Squid Game), Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix), Jodie Turner-Smith (Queen & Slim) and Daphne Keen (Logan).

The Acolyte will begin airing on June 4, 2024 on Disney+, airing one episode each week.

Ahsoka Season 2

The open ending of the first season left little room for doubt, but the news is finally official: Ahsoka will indeed return for a second season. The spin-off dedicated to Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Downson) shed light on this character, who is well known to fans of the animated series The Clone Wars.

The former Padawan of Anakin Skywalker (appeared in flashbacks in the first season, dressed as Hayden Christensen) was able to cross paths with his former allies, the heroes of the animated series Rebels.

Season 1 of Ahsoka also marked her first appearance live action of Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen), the iconic villain from the Star Wars Expanded Universe.

It is expected that the late Ray Stevenson will be replaced by another actor for the purposes of the second season, as his character’s story is not finished. He was honored in the first season following his sudden death shortly before the show went off the air.

A filming date has yet to be announced, and so this second season is not expected to air until 2025, at best.

Andor Season 2

It is not the series that has attracted the most attention, but according to fans, it is certainly the most successful. Unlike other productions with its more mature and realistic tone, this spin-off of the film Rogue One goes back to the beginnings of the rebellion against the Galactic Empire declared by former Senator Palpatine.

Due in late 2024, Andor’s second season won’t finally air until 2025. However, this delay is not the only result of the Hollywood strike, but is also explained by the fact that it takes time not to affect the quality. program.

It has already been confirmed that the end of the series will end shortly before the start of the Rogue One movie. Thus, the plot of the program does not play the card of mystery or suspense, because the outcome is already known. Its realistic handling and nuanced portrayal of its characters offer a unique immersion into the world of Star Wars mythology.

A skeleton crew Season 1

Created as an homage to popular 80s films (The Goonies, Poltergeist…), Skeleton Crew is a series produced by Jon Watts – director of the Spider-Man trilogy with Tom Holland and co-directed by the Oscar-winning duo. Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (everything everywhere at once).

This is especially so because the protagonists of this new production will be orphaned teenagers, the series takes place shortly after the battle on Endor in Return of the Jedi. The filming of the first season has already been completed and we do not know how many seasons are planned.

In terms of casting, the series will feature a group of young actors who are less known to the general public. It was also announced that Jude Law will play one of the main roles in the show, probably as a mentor to the young heroes. A late 2024 show on Disney+ is what fans are hoping for. The official picture has not been released till date.

Canceled series

Boba Fett book

His interpreter, Temuera Morrison, decided: the Boba Fett series will not return for a second season. The big return of the hunter on the hunt did not bring the desired success and several episodes of the series caused ridicule and laughter from the netizens. Although it was never officially canceled by Disney, the series was not renewed.

However, we can only hope that Boba Fett will return in other productions, especially The Mandalorian. The connections between the two series have always been there, and the characters from the respective shows have crossed paths several times in previous seasons. This is probably the best we can expect now – or should we say the worst – for this iconic character of the saga.

Rangers of the New Republic

Announced with much fanfare, this spin-off will ultimately never see the light of day. Gina Carano’s controversial comments that led to her firing from the franchise are to blame. The former MMA champ lends his skills to Kara Dune, a former mercenary turned New Republic Ranger.

Although there was talk of casting something new, Disney ultimately decided to cut the character entirely – leading to the cancellation of its spin-off.

rumored projects

Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2

The series was semi-disappointing with fans, but the audience was still there. And is it because of this mixed perception that Disney has yet to make a decision about the future of the most famous Jedi program in the Star Wars universe?

Anyway, we can’t blame Ewan McGregor for getting involved in the project. Already highly hyped while promoting Season 1, the Scottish actor has repeatedly expressed his desire to play the character as much as he’s allowed to.

One thing also seems certain. Qui Gon-jinn is unlikely to return for a possible Season 2, despite his cameo at the end of Season 1. Recent comments from his interpreter, Liam Neeson, suggest that the latter has now indeed moved on…

Every series from the Star Wars universe is now available on Disney+.
