Star Wars Celebration: Darth Maul Animated Series Coming to Disney+

'Maul: Shadow Lord' will debut in 2026.

He made for a fearsome and memorable appearance thanks to his unique look and a double-edged lightsaber, the latter blowing the minds of fans who first saw it onscreen in Phantom Menace. With the latter, plus the animated series Star Wars Rebels, Maul was deepened and built out with a rich history (involving a whole crime underworld) and compelling story arcs. The news of Maul’s series came during a panel looking at marking the 20th anniversary of Lucasfilm’s animation division, which in many ways kept the Star Wars mythology going during some lean years in the aughts and early 2010s.
