Star Wars: Skeleton CrewThe creators have revealed that they are “dreaming” of making a second season, but it seems likely that the show will not return for another outing.
Speaking to TechRadar, Jon Watts and Christopher Ford said that, should their series be renewed, they have come up with “different possibilities” for where the story could go next.
When asked if they had discussed what a sequel plot might entail ahead of the Star Wars show’s season 1 finale, which airs tonight (January 14) in the US and tomorrow (January 15 ) in the UK and Australia, Watts told me: “Yes, we wanted to make sure this season had a satisfying beginning, middle and end, but if people want to see more. skeleton crewWe will be happy to do more.”
“We are dreaming about it [a second season]” Ford added. “We’ve come up with different possibilities, so never say never.”
Will Skeleton Crew be renewed for a second season on Disney Plus?
Although skeleton crewpositive critical reception – read my Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Check back to see what I thought about it: A second season seems unlikely.
According to data recently released by Nielsen, a renowned US audience measurement company, the Disney Plus series failed to enter Nielsen’s top 10 streaming list for the week of December 9-15, 2024, That is, the seven-day period after the show’s debut on one of the world’s best streaming services. Original television companions, including AP Blo and A man insideplus Jamie Foxx’s Netflix comedy special, racked up more minutes streamed than skeleton crew did.
According to Star Wars fan site The Jedi Temple Archives, skeleton crew It also didn’t make the list of the top 10 most-watched TV shows by Luminate, another entertainment industry data firm, for that week. In fact, skeleton crewThe 384 million minutes watched are the lowest total ever recorded for a Star Wars series premiere. The Boba Fett book had maintained that record with 389 million accumulated minutes after its premiere of an episode in December 2021. Even The acolytewhich was not as successful as Disney and Lucasfilm expected, accumulated 488 million minutes broadcast in its first seven days on the platform.
However, there are caveats to these audience figures. The Nielsen and Luminate data only refers to US households, so skeleton crewThe global haul of ‘millions of minutes streamed’ will be larger than has been reported. It is also possible that, as AndorIn the first season, positive word of mouth may have helped episodes 3 to 7 perform better. However, we won’t know if they did until Nielsen and Luminate release viewing figures for those episodes in the coming weeks.
If Disney decides not to greenlight a second season, skeleton crewThe Season 1 finale may not be the end of its characters’ adventures in Lucasfilm’s iconic galaxy far, far away. In fact, with one of many new Star Wars movies set to reunite characters from shows including The Mandalorian and Star Wars: AhsokaFor a team-up movie, there’s a good chance that skeleton crewYoung stars could be part of the process. Watts and Ford told me that’s something they’d be open to exploring.
There is always a chance that they will meet amazing people in the future.

“It’s exciting to think about,” Watts said. “We have mainly focused on telling this story, but there is always the possibility that [the kids] “I might meet some amazing people in the future.”
“The interesting thing about these characters is that the kids are actually child actors,” Ford added, “and they’re growing up. So if they were in something else, we’d be telling the story of how they grew up and found their place in the galaxy.”
Don’t be surprised, then, if Wim and company show up at the home of Lucasfilm creative director Dave Filoni. Avengers-Star Wars movie style. And let’s hope they also appear in a second season of what is, in my opinion, one of the best shows on Disney Plus in a long time.
