Every Upcoming ‘Star Wars’ Show on Disney+

Fans may not be getting any new “Star Wars” movies in the near future, but that’s just because the future of the galaxy — at least for now — is in television. And there are a lot of shows coming to the universe.

But what exactly is there beyond the Skywalker Saga? Let’s run it down. Below, you’ll find all the information we have about the upcoming slate of “Star Wars” TV shows, from “Andor” Season 2 to “Ahsoka.” We’ve got release dates, episode counts and all the names you’ll become familiar with.

The Acolyte

Premiere Date: June 4, 2024

Cast: Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, Manny Jacinto, Jodie Turner-Smith, Dafne Keen, Rebecca Henderson, Charlie Barnett, Dean-Charles Chapman, Carrie-Anne Moss

Number of Episodes: 8

This show is described as “a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era. A former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated.”

The series — which takes place hundreds of years before the Skywalker saga — comes from showrunner Leslye Headland, co-creator of the Netflix’s “Russian Doll.” At Star Wars Celebration 2023, Kathleen Kennedy said Headland pitched the series as “Frozen” meets “Kill Bill.”

Headland also directed the premiere episodes of “The Acolypte” (Eps. 101 & 102). Directors Kogonada (Eps. 103 & 107), Alex Garcia Lopez (Eps. 104 & 105) and Hanelle Culpepper (Eps. 106 & 108) round out the directing duties on the series.

The first two episodes debut on June 4 on Disney+.

Skeleton Crew

Premiere Date: Christmas 2024

Cast: Jude Law, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Robert Timothy Smith, Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Kyriana Kratter, Tunde Adebimpe, Kerry Condon and Jaleel White

Number of Episodes: 8

During Star Wars Celebration 2022, Lucasfilm surprised fans with the announcement of a new series from executive producers Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, alongside “Spider-Man: No Way Home” director Jon Watts and Christopher Ford. Further details and new footage was revealed at Star Wars Celebration 2023.

“Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” is set in the New Republic era, and will follow a group of kids lost in the galaxy trying to find their way home. The show is being described as a “Star Wars” version of some of Amblin’s coming-of-age films from the 1980s, like “E.T.” and “The Goonies.”

Directors on the show include Watts, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, David Lowery, Jake Schreier, Bryce Dallas Howard and Lee Isaac Chung.

Andor Season 2

Premiere Date: TBD

Cast: Diego Luna, Denise Gough, Genevieve O’Reilly, Stellan Skarsgard, Kyle Soller

Number of Episodes: 12

“Andor” follows Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor five years before the events of 2016’s “Rogue One,” and the first season launched in 2022, wrapping up its 12-episode season in November. Season 2 wrapped in early 2024 and the series won’t return until 2025, but it will conclude the storyline and bring the events right up to the cusp of “Rogue One.”

The Mandalorian Season 4

Premiere Date: TBD

Cast: Pedro Pascal

Number of Episodes: TBD

Meanwhile, the “Star Wars” TV series that kicked things off — at least for the live action side of things — returned for its third season in March of 2023. “The Mandalorian” reunited Din Djarin and Grogu to continue on their journey through the galaxy in the era after the collapse of the Galactic Empire.

At this point, a fourth season of the show hasn’t officially been greenlit, but creator Jon Favreau has said the story itself is written. It is unclear if the upcoming movie “The Mandalorian & Grogu,” which Favreau is directing, will take the place of a fourth season of the series.
