Lucasfilm has now shared the full release calendar for Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, giving fans a much clearer look at how the series will roll out on Disney+.
The official schedule confirms that the show begins with a two-episode premiere on April 6, 2026, followed by two new episodes each week until the finale lands on May 4, which is fittingly Star Wars Day. StarWars.com had already confirmed that release pattern in its official trailer coverage, and the newly shared calendar now lays out the episode titles by date.
The Full Maul – Shadow Lord Release Schedule
According to the release calendar image shared by Lucasfilm, the schedule looks like this:
April 6
Chapter 1: The Dark Revenge
Chapter 2: Sinister Schemes
April 13
Chapter 3: Whispers in the Unknown
Chapter 4: Pride and Vengeance
April 20
Chapter 5: Inquisition
Chapter 6: Night of the Hunted
April 27
Chapter 7: Call to the Oblivion
Chapter 8: The Creeping Fear
May 4
Chapter 9: Strange Allies
Chapter 10: Finale
The official StarWars.com article confirms the two-episode premiere on April 6 and says the series will continue with two episodes each week through the finale on May 4.
The Rollout Is Clearly Built to Keep Momentum High
This is a pretty smart release structure for a show like Maul – Shadow Lord.
A two-episode launch gives Lucasfilm room to establish Maul’s new story quickly, while the weekly two-chapter format keeps the series moving faster than a standard one-episode drip. Based on the official schedule, Lucasfilm is clearly treating this as a month-long event run leading directly into May the 4th. That last part is an inference from the calendar timing and the confirmed May 4 finale.
The Titles Also Hint at a Very Dark Arc
Even without plot summaries, the episode names tell you a lot about the tone Lucasfilm is aiming for.
Titles like The Dark Revenge, Sinister Schemes, Inquisition, and The Creeping Fear are not exactly subtle. They suggest a series leaning hard into Maul’s darker instincts, his long-running obsession with revenge, and the pressure of surviving in the Empire era. StarWars.com’s official synopsis says the series follows Maul as he tries to rebuild his criminal syndicate on a world untouched by the Empire, where he meets a disillusioned young Jedi Padawan who may become his new apprentice.
May the 4th Just Became Even Busier
The biggest date on the calendar is obviously May 4.
That is when Chapters 9 and 10 arrive together, bringing the season to a close on one of the most important annual dates in the Star Wars calendar. Lucasfilm already positioned the show as part of a bigger spring push with the official trailer and poster rollout, and now the episode calendar makes that strategy even clearer.
A Handy Guide for Fans Tracking the Series
For fans planning watch parties, recap coverage, or just trying to keep up week by week, this release calendar is a useful little roadmap.
It also makes Maul – Shadow Lord feel more like a proper event series than just another title quietly dropping onto Disney+. Between the trailer, poster, cast reveals, and now the full episode calendar, Lucasfilm is making sure this one stays on the radar right up to launch. That final point is an inference based on the sequence of official promotional beats released so far.
