Disney+ Breaks Record With Star Wars Slate for 2026
Star Wars has been a huge part of Disney+ since it launched in 2019, and fans have been treated to a variety of Star Wars TV series, including the popular show, The Mandalorian. However, the current lineup of Star Wars shows in development for Disney+ is looking a bit sparse. As of now, the only live-action Star Wars series officially announced to be in the works for Disney+ is Ahsoka Season 2. This is the first time since Disney+ launched in 2019 that Lucasfilm has had only one live-action Star Wars show in development. When Disney+ first started, fans were excited to hear about upcoming projects like Andor and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Since then, Disney+ has released several seasons of The Mandalorian, as well as Ahsoka’s first season, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, Andor Season 2, The Book of Boba Fett, and The Acolyte. Now, with shows like Andor and The Mandalorian shifting gears and no renewals for other series like Skeleton Crew, The Book of Boba Fett, or The Acolyte, the Star Wars lineup on Disney+ is looking a bit sparse. The only sure thing on the horizon is Ahsoka Season 2, which is currently in production. Although details about the future of Disney+’s Star Wars TV lineup are scarce, there are rumors swirling about potential new projects. One exciting possibility is a second season of Obi-Wan Kenobi, which would continue Ewan McGregor’s story as the Jedi master. Initially planned as a limited series, the success of Obi-Wan Kenobi could lead to a second season. It’s also uncertain if The Mandalorian will return for a fourth season following the big-screen release of The Mandalorian & Grogu in 2026. Another intriguing report suggests that Lost showrunner Carlton Cuse and his son, Nick Cuse, are working on a new Star Wars series, although details about the project are still under wraps. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Disney+’s future Star Wars lineup, it’s clear that Lucasfilm is actively working on new content for fans to enjoy. So, while we may not have all the answers about what’s next for Star Wars on Disney+, it’s safe to say that there are exciting things on the horizon for fans of the galaxy far, far away.
