While the release of new Star Wars shows on Disney+ has slowed down from the pace of the last few years, The Acolyte won't be the only new live-action series this year. Via Collider, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew co-creator Jon Watts confirmed at CCXP Mexico that his series will be released around Christmas. Assuming that Disney+ intends to release new episodes weekly, Skeleton Crew's season would extend into 2025.

Watts and his frequent collaborator, Christopher Ford, conceived Skeleton Crew as the story of four children who discover a secret on their home world. The kids subsequently wind up on a starship and find themselves lost somewhere far from home. The series will take place during the same time period as The Mandalorian and Ashoka.

Jude Law, Kerry Condon, and Jaleel White are among the most prominent adult actors on the show. The rest of the cast includes Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Robert Timothy Smith, Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Kyriana Kratter, and Tunde Adebimpe.
