Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord

Animated Series Premiere

The shadow of the horn-crowned warrior is lengthening over the galaxy. Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord is the groundbreaking 10-episode animated event that finally bridges the gap between the fall of the Republic and the rise of the criminal underworld. Masterfully created by Dave Filoni and developed alongside Matt Michnovetz, this series features Brad Rau as supervising director, ensuring the high-octane, gritty aesthetic that fans of The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch crave. Set roughly a year after Order 66, the story follows Maul—voiced by the incomparable Sam Witwer—as he attempts to build a new power base on the planet Janix, a world still clinging to a fragile peace far from the Empire’s reach. But power demands a price. The series explores a dark, "pulpy" side of the Force as Maul encounters Devon Izara (Gideon Adlon), a disillusioned Jedi Padawan who may be the key to his ultimate revenge. With Sam Witwer returning to bring his signature intensity to the role, and a cast including Wagner Moura and Richard Ayoade, the stakes have never been higher. With only a few weeks left until the double-episode premiere on Disney+, the hype is at an all-time high. To make sure you're alerted the second the two-episode premiere drops and for every weekly double-feature leading to the May 4th finale, you should follow this countdown. The era of the Shadow Lord is almost here.
