Will there be a Star Wars: Skeleton Crew season 2? Creators weigh in

It follows a group of youngsters growing up on the planet of At Attin, who accidentally embark on a dangerous adventure across the galaxy.

Jude Law is the main adult star in the series, portraying a mysterious Force-sensitive individual who takes the kids under his wing, while Kerry Condon (Better Call Saul) and Nick Frost (How to Train Your Dragon) are among the other big names.

Along the way, Stephen Fry was also revealed to be the voice of the mysterious Supervisor.

Amid a time of uncertainty for the Star Wars franchise, fans are intrigued to know what the future holds for Skeleton Crew and its charming characters – here's everything we know so far about a potential season 2.

Will there be a Star Wars: Skeleton Crew season 2?

Disney is yet to announce whether Star Wars: Skeleton Crew will return for a second season.

Initially pitched as a limited series, the door is open to more episodes according to The Hollywood Reporter, which said in an October 2024 investigation that Lucasfilm considers the show viable for possible renewal.

Of course, that will hinge on how it performs commercially, with big viewing figures necessary to warrant the financial investment that a second season would require.

Notably, The Mandalorian is the only live-action Star Wars show on Disney Plus to run for multiple seasons, with others staying limited or getting cancelled (see: The Acolyte), so precedent is not on the side of Skeleton Crew.

The creators of Skeleton Crew have said they'd be up for making more, with Ford telling RadioTimes.com: "Because of the nature of it being about these kids and they're growing up, there's already a story direction there of them growing up."

Watts added: "I would love to see where they fit into the larger galaxy."

Ford went on to say: "By the time we're into the sequels, they'd be adults. It would be fun to grow up with the kids," with Watts adding: "We did want to make sure this season had its own arc and had a beginning, middle and end, but if people want to see more Skeleton Crew, we're in."

As for whether he'd return to the character of Jod, Law added to RadioTimes.com: "Absolutely, and that depends an awful lot on whether he's liked and is popular. What's clever is they're always able to cross-pollinate and bring people in and out and back. I would love that."

We'll update this page when more information comes in on the future of the series.

When could a potential Star Wars: Skeleton Crew season 2 be released?

If Skeleton Crew were to be renewed for a second season, it could be some time before we see it pop up on Disney Plus.

We wouldn't expect any potential follow-up to arrive before winter 2026.

The first season only filmed for approximately five months up to January 2023, but spent an unusually long time in post-production, with the premiere coming almost two years later.

Given the age of the central characters is relevant to the plot of the show, Disney Plus would presumably want to fast-track a second season if Skeleton Crew gets renewed – or perhaps write a time-jump into the show.

Who could appear in a potential Skeleton Crew season 2?

If Star Wars: Skeleton Crew were renewed for a second season, it's likely that most of the cast members would return for another spin around the galaxy. Here's a refresher on the key players:

• Jude Law plays Jod Na Nawood
• Ravi Cabot-Conyers plays Wim
• Ryan Kiera Armstrong plays Fern
• Kyriana Kratter plays KB
• Robert Timothy Smith plays Neel
• Tunde Adebimpe plays Wendle
• Kerry Condon plays Fara
• Nick Frost as the voice of SM-33
• Marti Matulis plays Vane
• Jaleel White plays Gunter
• Fred Tatasciore plays Brutus
• Mike Estes plays Pax
• Dale Soules plays Chaelt

One cast member we wouldn't expect to see back is Stephen Fry after the Supervisor's fate in the final episode - but you never know!

What could happen in a potential Skeleton Crew season 2?

That's difficult to say, but we would expect to see a bit more of what happens to Jod after the season 1 finale - and whether he gets his comeuppance.

We'd also expect to see the kids growing up with more agency about who they're going to be, with Wim likely becoming a force for good on At Attin.

Is there a trailer for a potential Skeleton Crew season 2?

Alas, there's no Skeleton Crew season 2 trailer just yet – we'll keep you posted.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is available to stream on Disney Plus.
