Disney has renewed the upcoming Star Wars series “Maul — Shadow Lord” for a second season. The announcement comes before the show’s first season has premiered on Disney+.
The series is scheduled to debut on April 6. This early renewal signals strong confidence in the project from the studio.
The show will focus on the character of Maul, a fan-favorite Sith Lord from the Star Wars universe. Details about the plot for either season remain under wraps.
Such a renewal ahead of a premiere is uncommon. It typically indicates that executives have seen early footage and are optimistic about the series’ potential audience and reception.
