Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld release schedule – how to watch
Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane take centre stage in this whistle-stop tour of the galaxy.
Two fan-favourite characters from the Star Wars universe get a moment in the spotlight in Tales of the Underworld, which explores pivotal moments in the lives of Force user Asajj Ventress and bounty hunter Cad Bane.
Both characters were developed by Dave Filoni during the original run of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, with Cad Bane later making the jump to live action via 2021's The Book of Boba Fett.
This is the third entry in the 'Tales of' anthology series, which has previously examined the life stories of Count Dooku and Ahsoka Tano (in Tales of the Jedi) as well as Morgan Elsbeth and Barriss Offee (in Tales of the Empire).
Each iteration has premiered on Disney+ as part of the annual Star Wars Day celebration, which occurs each year on 4th May (in a nod to the famous pun 'May the fourth be with you').
If you're excited for Tales of the Underworld, read on for how to watch the latest Star Wars animated series – including the details of an unconventional early launch for the first two episodes.
How to watch Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld
Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld is available to stream on Disney+ from Sunday 4th May 2025, but it will be possible to see the first two episodes ahead of that date.
That's because Disney has partnered with Epic Games for a double-bill virtual premiere that will take place inside the massively popular Fortnite as part of a broader Star Wars promotion.
The event will start at 3pm BST (10am ET) on the 'Star Wars Watch Party' island on Friday 2nd May 2025, so be sure to make your way there in time if you'd like an early look.
