Lucasfilm Confirms Season 2 for Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord Before Premiere

The early renewal signals Lucasfilm’s confidence in a villain‑led series set to test a bolder animation style.

Overview

  • Dave Filoni confirmed Thursday that Season 2 is in development and that work on new episodes has already begun.
  • Season 1 debuts on Disney+ with two episodes on April 6, with two more released each week through a May 4 finale.
  • Athena Yvette Portillo said other Lucasfilm projects in progress could shape the pace or timing of future seasons.
  • Set after The Clone Wars on the planet Janix, the series follows Maul as he rebuilds a criminal syndicate and crosses paths with a disillusioned Padawan, Devon Izara.
  • Filoni says the story draws on ideas he discussed with George Lucas, and the team pursued a sharper look using oil‑painted mattes, practical model builds, and painterly textures.
