A new Star Wars TV series is coming to Disney+ very soon, well before the sophomore season of Ahsoka. This new show is an anthology series that will be a spin-off of Star Wars: Visions.
Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi hits Disney+ next month
Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi debuts on Disney+ and Hulu on August 5, 2026. The inaugural season of the show has eight episodes. The anime series premiered at Anime Expo on July 1, 2026.
Mitsuyasu Sakai penned Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi, and Kenji Kamiyama and Shunsuke Tada directed the episodes. Lucasfilm collaborated with Production I.G on the project. Its English voice cast includes Kimiko Glenn as Lah Kara, Andrew Kishino as Juro, Masi Oka as Ethan, Patrick Seitz as Homen, and J. P. Karliak as Gramps.
Marvel star Simu Liu is also part of the cast. He voices Lah Zhima. Notably, he played Shaun/Shang-Chi in the MCU film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and will reprise the role in Avengers: Doomsday.
According to the new Star Wars show’s log line, it revolves around Kara and her ragtag Jedi crew as they “seek out to find worthy Jedi to fight against an increasingly powerful warlord.”
Meanwhile, the description of Episode 1 reads, “In the distant future – long after the Empire and the Rebel Alliance, when the Jedi have faded into legend – Lah Kara, the daughter of Lah Zhima, leaves her home alongside new Jedi allies to free her father from the clutches of Jedi Hunters. Kara’s father is the only known sabersmith in the galaxy, making the lightsaber – and Zhima himself – an invaluable asset.”
As for Ahsoka Season 2, Lucasfilm announced in 2024 that series creator Dave Filoni (then the company’s president and chief creative officer) was working on it. It will come out in early 2027.
