Not only will Darth Maul get his revenge, but his journey will continue in the second season of Maul – Shadow Lord (Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord).
Ahead of the premiere of the animated series, creator and executive producer Dave Filoni announced a continuation of the show. The Lucasfilm Animation team is already working on the second season.
The first season will debut on Disney+ with two episodes premiering on April 6. Two episodes each will be released until the beginning of May.
" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">teaser of the animated series "Star Wars" has appeared online. Darth Maul: Lord of Shadows" (Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord), and it truly amazes with its mesmerizing beauty.
“In these times. I prefer to remain... in the shadows,” the former Dark Lord of the Sith says in the video.
The new show will take place after the events of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Darth Maul decides to revive the crime syndicate on a planet that the Empire has not yet reached, and find himself an apprentice.
The show is created by Dave Filoni (“The Mandalorian”). The character was voiced by Sam Witwer, who has been the voice of Maul for many years.
The premiere will take place on April 6on Disney+. There will be a total of 10 episodes in the season.
Sam Witwer has a rich history with the Star Wars franchise, dating back to Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. He has voiced many characters, but is most often associated with Maul.
After the villain's surprise return in The Clone Wars, Witwer's performance elevated the character's status. Unsurprisingly, the actor had several ideas he wanted to bring to life with Maul. This was only possible years later with Lord of Shadows.
In an interview with ComicBook Witwer was asked what exactly was achieved in new animated series. “We succeeded in everything,” he replied.
This is a transition period in his life. If you look atThe Clone Warshe did what Palpatine taught him - create a power base, manipulate groups of people, create armies, all that stuff... inRebelshe's an old man on the verge of despair, trying to figure out what to do with himself now that the world has passed him by.
Regarding the solo project, he said, “In this story, he's in his prime and he's starting to really think independently. So to really tell this story, you have to approach it from a vulnerable point of view. What is he struggling with? There were a few things I told Dave [Filoni] back in the day that I'm glad to say are in this show.
This year,Star Warsis not only returning to theaters, but it's also getting a couple of big video games. Fans might have forgotten about one of them.
Last year, the turn-based tactical strategyStar Wars Zero Companywas announced. Nothing has been heard about the project for a long time, and now fresh details have appeared.
In previewPC Gamer's editors suggest that a game from former developers of XCOM could be the biggest surprise of 2026. The project has been compared toMass Effect, but it has deep gameplay and permanent death.
The key creative positions are held by the people behind the XCOM and Midnight Suns reboot: art director Greg Fertch, producer Cadence Funk, lead animator Hector Antunez, technical director Ryan McFall and lead mission designer James Brawley. The story of the game's creation began when Vince Zampella from Respawn Entertainment contacted Fertch and offered him work on a Star Wars title.
An insider who previously shared information about possible details of Star Wars Jedi 3, toldabout the plot and gameplay of the future game.
According to an insider, the main character Cal Castis will have a daughter. It is not yet known whether she is his own or adopted. He will also have an adopted daughter, Kata, a character from the second part. Some conflict will arise between the sisters. The main theme of the game is purity and finding serenity as Cal will fight the Dark Side.
In terms of gameplay, a stand with two blasters is announced. The insider also claims that there will be moral decision points in the game, which, however, will not affect the ending. As a comparison, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows and Ghost of Tsushima are called.
The insider also shared details of the production process: the plot of Star Wars Jedi 3 is being written in parallel with the development of gameplay, as was the case with Star Jedi: Survivor. According to him, it was because of this that the second part had an uneven narrative structure, unlike Star Jedi: Fallen Order, whose script was ready before production began.
The only thing the insider is sure of is that the announcement of the project will take place on May 4, Star Wars Day. According to him, it could be a teaser, a tweet or even just a logo. However, everything said should be taken with a grain of salt.
Bit Reactor studio has published a series of fresh screenshots for Star Wars Zero Company, demonstrating gameplay, cutscenes, interface and character customization system. The materials were presented in the latest issue of PC Gamer and published by the Bespin Bulletin portal.
Players can appreciate the variety of enemies, weapons, interface and unique mechanics. The screenshots also show a galaxy map with missions and enemies, a squad selection menu and character settings.

At the same time, he noted that Maul will be accompanied by “many interesting new characters”, whose fates will be revealed in the series.
Darth Maul: Lord of Shadows will premiere on April 6, 2026 on Disney+. A total of 10 episodes will be released.
