2026 is lining up to be a big year for Star Wars, which is already in the middle of one of its best Disney+ series with Maul: Shadow Lord. The show brings Darth Maul out of the shadow of the Jedi and into the spotlight as the primary character in a Disney+ series, and not only has it earned widespread acclaim from critics and audiences, but it’s already been renewed for Season 2. Star Wars will return to the big screen next month on May 22 with the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu, which will be the first Star Wars movie released theatrically since The Rise of Skywalker in 2019.
