Disney+ Original “Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord” Teaser Trailer Released
At last year’s Star Wars Celebration event in Japan, Lucasfilm announced it was creating a brand new animated series for Disney+ called “Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord” and today, Disney has released some more details on the show, including when it will be dropping onto Disney+ and also a teaser trailer.
Set after the events of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” this pulpy adventure finds Maul plotting to rebuild his criminal syndicate on a planet untouched by the Empire. There, he crosses paths with a disillusioned young Jedi Padawan who could be the apprentice he is seeking to aid him in his relentless pursuit for revenge.
Check out the new teaser trailer for the series:
“Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord” is created by Dave Filoni, based on Star Wars and characters created by George Lucas. The series is developed by Dave Filoni and Matt Michnovetz. Brad Rau is the supervising director.
The executive producers are Dave Filoni, Athena Yvette Portillo, Matt Michnovetz, Brad Rau, Carrie Beck, and Josh Rimes. Alex Spotswood is the co-executive producer.
The voice cast includes Sam Witwer as Maul, Gideon Adlon as Devon Izara, Oscar nominee Wagner Moura as Brander Lawson, Richard Ayoade as Two-Boots, Dennis Haysbert as Master Eeko-Dio-Daki, Chris Diamantopoulos as Looti Vario, Charlie Bushnell as Rylee Lawson, Vanessa Marshall as Rook Kast, David C. Collins as Spybot, A.J. LoCascio as Marrok, and Steve Blum as Icarus.
“Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord,” will premiere on Disney+ around the world on April 6th, 2026. Two episodes will premiere each week, with the final two airing on the ultimate Star Wars holiday, May the 4th.
Roger’s Take: I’ve been a huge fan of Darth Maul since his first appearance in “The Phantom Menace” and him finally getting his own animated series does seem like a great choice, especially since we’ve never seen what happened after the events of “Solo: A Star Wars Story”.
