The Star Wars universe is still cranking out projects for the big screen and small. There are a few movies on the way, including one from Taika Waititi, one from James Mangold, and Star Wars: Starfighter, starring Ryan Gosling (which hits theaters on May 28, 2027). Then there are the animated series, like Star Wars: Visions, which sees its third season debut on October 29th of this year and Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, which hits Disney+ at some point in 2026. But just how many of the upcoming Star Wars projects will be continuations of the live action Disney+ series?

Thus far, there have been seven Disney+ live action Star Wars series, and while some have been deemed modern classics, others seem to have come and gone. Are any of them coming back? Let’s find out.
1) The Mandalorian
Disney+’s flagship series—be it Star Wars or otherwise—Star Wars: The Mandalorian is indeed coming back. At least, its characters are. After the first season proved to be a hit in 2019 and the sophomore season arguably topped it in 2020 there was a bit of a break before the streamer got around to Season 3.
And while the critics’ and audience’s reception was a bit more mixed for that third year, it still skewed positive. Initially, it was thought that a fourth season would enter development, which is still possible, but unconfirmed. What is confirmed is the theatrical film The Mandalorian and Grogu, which is set to be helmed by The Mandalorian creator and showrunner Jon Favreau and will hit the big screen on May 22, 2026. Pedro Pascal is returning, as is Grogu of course, and joining them is Sigourney Weaver and The Bear‘s Jeremy Allen White.
2) The Book of Boba Fett
The Book of Boba Fett seemed like the long-awaited project that would finally give the titular fan-favorite character his own story. But it really wasn’t even that. Halfway through it just become The Mandalorian Season 2.5. And, by the looks of it, Boba never will get a full story told in live action.
Boba Fett himself, Temuera Morrison, doesn’t seem too hopeful regarding a potential return to the Star Wars universe, so it seems safe to consider The Book of Boba Fett closed. It’s been nearly four years since the show debuted, and it’s likely it will remain a miniseries, as opposed to the beginning of something more.
3) Obi-Wan Kenobi
Like The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi was a highly anticipated focus on a major fan-favorite character, yet it remains a miniseries. But like with Boba Fett and really all media, if Obi-Wan Kenobi had been a critical and commercial smash success, there would have been more.
Admittedly, Obi-Wan did a little better in terms of viewership (an estimated 20% increase from The Book of Boba Fett in terms of how many people watched the series’ respective finales) and critical appreciation, there has been no movement on bringing Ewan McGregor back for a second season. Many would argue that’s for the best, as the Obi-Wan and Leia arc ended with a nice little bow in the miniseries. However, it would be a surprise if Disney is altogether done with McGregor as the character.
4) Andor
This one’s easy. From the beginning, Star Wars: Andor‘s creator and showrunner, Tony Gilroy, said it was intended to run for two seasons.
And now, those phenomenal two seasons have concluded. Andor is the highpoint of Disney+ small screen Star Wars adventures, and to unnecessarily stretch out the story would do those two seasons a disservice.
5) Ahsoka
After serving as an executive producer on The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, Dave Filoni created Star Wars: Ahsoka. And, for the most part, fans liked it. Rosario Dawson continued to excel as the title character, many of the action sequences were exciting, and it was an overall solid expansion of the universe.
It also blatantly set the stage for a Season 2, and that’s what we’re getting. The show debuted in August 2023, and a sophomore season was announced in January 2024. It began filming in April 2025, so if Season 2 follows a similar window between start of production and air date as Season 1, it will hit Disney+ around July 2026.
6) The Acolyte
While critics liked Star Wars: The Acolyte for the most part, many fans did not. And that’s on top of the massive amount of backlash it received for its supposedly “woke” nature and whatever else it was the trolls were feigning disgust about.
About a month after the first season wrapped up, Disney announced it would not be picking up the show for a round two. The reason cited was that its viewership (which was reported to have plummeted after the first two episodes) did not justify the massive price tag of $180 million, which likely would have only gotten higher for Season 2.
7) Skeleton Crew
Unlike some of the other series seen here, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew was not marketed as a miniseries. However, it also has not been renewed for a second season. Not necessarily cancelled, but not renewed, either.
Skeleton Crew debuted to the lowest numbers of any Star Wars show, according to Nielsen data, so a Season 2 is not a lock. But it’s also the type of project that does a good job of appealing to kids, so if it moved enough merchandise that would serve as a reason to renew. Time will tell on this one.
