Lucasfilm confirms three Star Wars shows are coming in 2023, as The Mandalorian season 3 and Ahsoka are set for next year, with Jon Watts' Star Wars: Skeleton Crew joining the slate. The launch of Disney+ in 2019 brought a new avenue for Star Wars content and the arrival of the first live-action series set in the galaxy far, far away. Jon Favreau's The Mandalorian kicked off this experience and became a huge hit thanks to audiences falling in love with Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu a.k.a. Baby Yoda. The success of the series propelled Lucasfilm to begin creating additional shows for the streaming service as part of shifting their focus away from the movies.
There are multiple Star Wars shows in development for Disney+ that will come in the next several years. Lucasfilm already has Andor season 1 set for 2022 and is days away from debuting Obi-Wan Kenobi as well. Meanwhile, Favreau and Dave Filoni have already finished work on The Mandalorian season 3 and are now in the process of filming Ahsoka, a spinoff starring Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano. With several other mystery shows in the works, such as one from Spider-Man: No Way Home director Watts and The Acolyte, there is a robust slate of shows coming to Disney+.
During the opening panel for Star Wars Celebration 2022, it was officially announced that The Mandalorian season 3 and Ahsoka are releasing on Disney+ in 2023. It was revealed that The Mandalorian season 3 is coming in February 2023, but no firm release window for Ahsoka was given. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is also set for an unspecified release date next year. They are currently the only three Star Wars shows confirmed for release in 2023.
Thanks to the info shared at Star Wars Celebration 2022, Star Wars fans now have a more clear picture of what to expect from the output of shows set in the galaxy far, far away. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor remain the only live-action shows confirmed for 2022 - although Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 2 comes this year as well. Looking ahead to next year, fans will come close to kicking off the year with the next chapter in Din Djarin and Grogu's story in The Mandalorian season 3. Since Ahsoka is now filming, it appears it should come next, followed by Skeleton Crew later in 2023.
Even though the updates on the slate of Star Wars shows ignores in-development projects like The Acolyte and Lando, this is still a promising sign of what audiences can expect to see from the franchise through next year. Lucasfilm and Disney have Patty Jenkins' Rogue Squadron set for a 2023 release date officially, but it is not going to be ready by then based on recent comments from Kathleen Kennedy. That means these three live-action Star Wars shows could be the main course of content for fans of the galaxy far, far away next year.
