A new rumor hints that a familiar Jedi Master could return in a potential Season 2 of a big Star Wars show. Over three years after Obi-Wan Kenobi‘s Disney+ debut, reports suggest Lucasfilm may be revisiting the character’s journey. If development moves forward, it would signal another major chapter in the Star Wars saga.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2 rumored to happen with Ewan McGregor

A new rumor, shared by industry scooper Daniel Richtman, suggests that Ewan McGregor may return as the titular Jedi, though no production timeline or release window has been announced.

Obi-Wan Kenobi was initially developed as a limited series and labeled “The Complete Series” upon its physical release. The show debuted in May 2022 and explored Obi-Wan’s life a decade after Revenge of the Sith. Along with McGregor, the show features Vivien Lyra Blair, Joel Edgerton, Hayden Christensen, Indira Varma, and Kumail Nanjiani.

According to Richtman, there is no confirmed plot, casting, or production schedule for a second season. As of June 2025, Lucasfilm has not issued an official statement confirming development or renewal. The rumored Season 2 of Obi-Wan Kenobi remains unconfirmed amid broader shifts in Lucasfilm’s project slate.

Recent Star Wars series like Andor are nearing completion, and The Mandalorian & Grogu will reportedly close out The Mandalorian storyline. Amid these transitions, Obi-Wan Kenobi remains one of the highest-performing Star Wars shows on Disney+ in terms of viewership.

Several Star Wars projects have entered development in recent years without progressing to full production. Lucasfilm has removed multiple film and series plans since 2022. Given this trend, Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2’s development status does not guarantee a green light or eventual release.

Season 1 followed Obi-Wan as he protected young Princess Leia and confronted his former apprentice, Darth Vader. The story bridged the gap between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope.
