The series hails from creator Leslye Headland and will premiere its eight episodes exclusively on the Disney+ service.
The show precedes “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,” which is set in the Mandoverse time period, in the back half of 2024. They will be followed by the second season of “Andor” in early 2025.
A new season of “Ahsoka” is also in the works, along with “The Mandalorian and Grogu” movie for a 2026 release.
