Maul - Shadow Lord, a Star Wars Original series, arrives on DisneyPlus in 2026
Not sure about this. It’s just more animation but isn’t his story over in TCW? Do they need viewers enough to bring him back, again?
He was in Solo, then died in Rebels. So his story wasn’t over in TCW.
From the announcement article up on StarWars•com: In Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord, the Former Sith Returns…
'After the Clone Wars, Maul plots to rebuild his criminal syndicate on a planet untouched by the Empire.
During the 20th anniversary Lucasfilm Animation panel at Star Wars Celebration Japan, surprise guest Sam Witwer took the stage to reveal his return to the galaxy as the star of the next animated series — Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord.
Witwer first portrayed Maul in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, later reprising the role in Star Wars Rebels. In a new series set after the events of the final season of The Clone Wars, Maul rises again to lead the underworld factions.
Fans attending the panel in person got an early look at the series’ new animation style with an in-room-only sizzle.
Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord is currently in production and will debut on Disney+ in 2026.’
Well, it is content I suppose. Like Mocata, I feel his character has already had a lot of exposure with much of his life already told over the years after ‘coming back from the dead’ ™… and was instead looking forward to something new and fresh for the GFFA.

I suppose there are ideas planned for a Solo sequel that could be picked up here. I kinda forgot that was a thing! But for me it’s mostly dangling a shiny thing for the crowd.
I am interested in the new Maul show. However, I think the show is effectively redundant with what we got out of Maul in the Clone Wars.
He becomes head of a crime syndicate, takes on a new apprentice, and then inevitably loses everything.
This is effectively the same plot.
I don’t know why people get hyped to see characters like this when we already know the entire course of their life and how they die. In this case how they died twice. There’s probably some tension where you don’t know what happens to his apprentice or other side characters, but for Maul himself what’s the point?
This was also a problem with almost all the main characters in The Clone Wars too.
i actually iam a little excited about this show, like what mocata said of all things announced this was a highlight.
there was leaked trailer that i saw on twitter showed that maul was taken an apprentice btw she looks like darth talon, but we already tales of underwolrd will have ventress have a an apprentice soo i doesn’t seem that original.
I get the idea of making this show and telling this story because is the only story left to tell about maul.
Also Sam Witwer is one of my fav star wars actors
idk
