Disney+ Original “Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord” Renewed For A Second Season
Just ahead of the release of the first episodes of the new animated series, “Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord” on Disney+, it has been announced that the show has already been renewed for a second season.
“Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord” presents fans with a pulpy adventure that 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 may just be the apprentice he is seeking to aid him in his relentless pursuit for revenge.
The cast includes Sam Witwer as Maul, Gideon Adlon as Devon Izara, recent Golden Globe winner and 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 W. Collins as Spybot, A.J. LoCascio as Marrok, and Steve Blum as Icarus.
Created by Dave Filoni, “Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord” is 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 new series will premiere with a double episode on Monday, 6th April 2026, on Disney+, with a new episode being released each week.
No details on the second season have yet been revealed, such as what it’ll be about or when it might arrive on Disney+.
Roger’s Take: Getting a second-season renewal before the first episode even airs is likely a good omen for how good the show will be, as Disney is already committed to it. I’m looking forward to watching the show, and knowing that it’s going to be around for a while certainly makes it more appealing to new viewers. With a reduction in the number of live-action Star Wars shows, it makes total sense to double down on animated fare on the platform to help fill that void, without overloading casual fans while giving die-hard fans something new to enjoy.
