Star Wars Zero Company Announces New Streaming Series Set After the Original Trilogy
In a major development from Lucasfilm, Star Wars Zero Company has been officially announced as a new streaming series slated for release in 2026, expanding the galaxy far, far away into a post-Original Trilogy timeline. The series, produced by Lucasfilm in collaboration with a renowned creative team, was revealed during a corporate earnings call on Monday, March 10, 2025, and is set to debut exclusively on Disney Plus.
The announcement, made by Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy, details that Star Wars Zero Company will focus on a group of former Imperial soldiers struggling to find purpose after the Empire’s defeat. The characters, described as outcasts and mercenaries, navigate a fractured galaxy following the Battle of Endor, offering a gritty, character-driven narrative that diverges from the Jedi-centric stories of previous series.
The news has generated significant excitement on social media, with fans speculating on potential cameos from iconic characters and exploring ties to other upcoming Star Wars projects. Lucasfilm has confirmed that the first season will consist of eight episodes, directed by a filmmaker known for high-octane action dramas, though the cast remains unannounced.
