Every Star Wars Animated series Coming Out in 2026
Maul – Shadow lord
Perhaps the most anticipated Star Wars series set to arrive in 2026, Maul – Shadow Lord, will bring back the fan-favorite Prequels era character for his own solo adventure on Disney+.
The new animated series from the Star Wars: The Clone Wars team will continue the story of darth Maul following the events of the Prequels era. It will explore the period between Revenge of the sith and his appearance in Star Wars Rebels (and his cameo in Solo: A Star Wars Story), detailing how he built his criminal empire, Crimson Dawn, while evading the newly established Galactic Empire. Sam Witwer, the voice actor for Maul, has indicated that Shadow Lord will be a darker exploration of the character, focusing on his struggles in a galaxy without the Jedi Order.
Star Wars Visions Presents: the Ninth Jedi
Star Wars Visions Presents: The Ninth Jedi is the second animated Star Wars series scheduled for release on Disney+ in 2026. This new series is the first under the Star Wars Visions Presents banner, which will allow creators from the Visions anthology series to develop their stories into full seasons.
Production IG’s The Ninth Jedi will follow a young, Force-sensitive girl-the daughter of a sabersmith-who is forced to go on the run after being discovered by a Jedi-hunting regime. A sequel short was released as part of the second Star Wars Visions volume, providing a preview of the upcoming season.
