Skeleton Crew Season 2 Listed in Production Weekly

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew — the coming-of-age adventure that debuted on Disney+ in late 2024 — has just taken a big step toward a return. According to the latest Production Weekly Issue 1489 (Thursday, February 12, 2026), Skeleton Crew Season 2 is now listed as in development alongside other high-profile projects like The Mandalorian Season 4.

This doesn’t confirm a full green-light with a public announcement from Lucasfilm or Disney+, but it’s one of the most concrete industry signals yet that Skeleton Crew could continue. Production Weekly’s listings are widely used by industry pros to track what’s entering pre-production, early development stages, or active planning — so inclusion usually reflects real movement behind the scenes.

Here’s what we know — and what it might mean — for Skeleton Crew’s future.

From Limited Series to a True Franchise Entry?

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew premiered on Disney+ on December 2, 2024, with an 8-episode first season executive-produced by Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni and created by Jon Watts and Christopher Ford. The show follows four kids lost in the galaxy after discovering something mysterious on their home planet — a story that mixes classic Star Wars adventure with coming-of-age elements.

When the series first wrapped in January 2025, neither Lucasfilm nor Disney+ publicly confirmed a second season — and the narrative of the first season had a clean, contained arc, leading many to think it might have been a one-and-done story.

Fans and commentators were split: some felt the story was complete; others wanted more Adventures From the Era Between Trilogies.

What Production Weekly Listing Really Means

Production Weekly doesn’t publish internal Lucasfilm decisions — but a listing for Skeleton Crew Season 2 under its Issue 1489 suggests:

Active development tracking: There’s enough movement — people attached, start dates sketching out, or pre-production planning — for PW to flag it.
Early stages, not guarantee: “In development” can mean anything from early script planning to casting prep; it does not equal an official green light from Disney+.
Industry insiders monitor this: Such listings often precede public announcements by months (or longer).

In other words: Skeleton Crew Season 2 looks like more than a rumor — but it’s not yet confirmed with a release date or official Lucasfilm statement.

Creators and Cast Have Been Open to More

Long before this Production Weekly listing, Skeleton Crew’s Jon Watts and Christopher Ford indicated they have ideas for a possible second season if given the chance. In interviews they’ve talked about having concepts ready beyond the first year’s story, though they were cautious about promising anything without studio backing.

That creative openness is important: when creators and industry trackers align in momentum, the chance of development converting into production increases — even if official press hasn’t yet arrived.

Context: Star Wars on Disney+ in 2026

Lucasfilm is juggling several TV projects right now:

The Mandalorian is also listed in Production Weekly as entering Season 4 development, hinting at a coordinated expansion of the New Republic era TV universe.
Other series like Ahsoka have confirmed follow-ups, and Andor has already delivered two seasons.

Yet Skeleton Crew’s future has been more uncertain, partly because its story wasn’t positioned as a multi-season arc and viewership trends for Disney+ Star Wars shows have been uneven. Still, critical reception was generally positive, and the franchise appears keen to keep exploring different eras and tones across live-action.

What Fans Can Expect Next

At this stage:

Skeleton Crew Season 2 is likely entering early development — meaning scripts, story planning, and possibly scheduling discussions are happening.
No release date or firm cast commitments have been announced.
Creators have publicly expressed interest in more stories if the opportunity arises.

If Season 2 moves forward, it could pick up the characters’ journeys in the New Republic era — potentially expanding their roles as they grow older or exploring new threats and mysteries in the galaxy. Some fan speculation even imagines time jumps or bigger arcs involving Jod and the wider Star Wars mythos, depending on how Lucasfilm chooses to evolve the narrative.

The Galaxy Isn’t Done With These Kids Yet

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew was already intriguing as a standalone adventure — and now it’s looking like the franchise is quietly building for more. The Production Weekly listing doesn’t confirm a public announcement yet, but it does signal that Season 2 is being tracked in an industry-official way, which is the first real step toward a potential continuation.

In the ever-expanding Star Wars TV universe, that’s a development worth watching.
