With The Bad Batch recently concluding its run, the Star Wars franchise is poised to once again dazzle fans with fresh animated adventures, marking the first time since 2008 that there have been no new main animated series in development.

What’s Next for the Animated Galaxy?

In addition to the anticipated new series, the anthology series Visions is set to return for its third season in 2025, showcasing unique takes on the Star Wars universe from diverse studios around the globe. Meanwhile, Young Jedi Adventures will continue to enchant younger audiences with its second half of Season 2.

Even more tantalizing, Disney+ has recently birthed two six-episode anthology shorts, Tales of the Jedi and Tales of the Empire, enhancing the animated lore. However, clarity regarding a potential third installment remains elusive.
