Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord Confirmed to Return for Second Season in 2027

Head writer and executive producer Matt Michnovetz has confirmed that the animated series Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord will return for a second season in 2027. The confirmation was announced during a dedicated panel for the series at D23, following the well-received debut of its first season earlier this year. Michnovetz encouraged fans to get ready for the upcoming continuation of the show.

While an exact premiere date has not yet been announced, the timing points to a 2027 release window that could make it one of the major Star Wars projects for that year. Following news of Ahsoka returning for its second season in January 2027 and the cinematic release of Star Wars: Starfighter on May 28, industry reports and scheduling patterns suggest potential release windows on Disney+, though a summer 2027 or later premiere is considered a safe assumption given the first season's success and potential plans for a grander rollout.

The first season of Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord featured a 10-episode run on Disney+ starring Sam Witwer as the voice of the iconic Sith Lord. The series focuses on a darker revenge story set during the early days of the Empire, presenting the character as a protagonist in a violent narrative while highlighting flawed human elements.
