Disney has announced that second season of “Light & Magic” will be coming soon to Disney+.  The first season was released on Disney+ back in the summer of 2022 and chronicles the untold history of world-renowned Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), the special visual effects, animation and virtual production division of Lucasfilm.

Granted unparalleled access, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Lawrence Kasdan takes viewers on an adventure behind the curtain of Industrial Light & Magic. Learn about the pioneers of modern filmmaking as we go on a journey to bring George Lucas’ vision to life. These filmmakers would then go on to inspire the entire industry of visual effects.

The series is directed by Joe Johnson, and the executive producers are Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Justin Wilkes, Lawrence Kasdan, Kathleen Kennedy and Michelle Rejwan.

Disney has released four images from the new season below:

The second season will give a look behind the magic of creating special effects for many movies including “Twister”, “Pirates Of The Caribbean”, “Casper” and “War Of The Worlds”.

All three episodes of the second season of “Light & Magic” will be released on Disney+ on April 18th 2025.

Roger’s Take:  It’s great to see that “Light & Magic” is returning for another season as I really enjoyed the first season, especially as it spreads out beyond not just Star Wars and Disney but also covers other movies that they’ve worked on over the years.  As someone interested in how movies are made, this is going to be a must watch.

Are you looking forward to the return of “Light & Magic”?  Let me know on social media!
