Among the shows completed or canceled in 2024 was Disney+ The Followerwith the latest Star Wars The series has run its eight-episode season from June to July. It was set at the end of the High Republic era and before the events of the Skywalker Saga, but didn’t last long enough to make any possible connections, like. Disney+ was surprisingly canceled The Follower beginning of this month. Now a new one Star Wars rumors have surfaced that could explain why the cancellation happened.
Ever since The FollowerIts fate was sealed, fans did whatever it took to save it Star Wars series, not only for a potential second season, but also to head off concerns that it might be pulled from Disney+ altogether in the near future. As disappointing and frustrating as the news was, there seems to be a somewhat reasonable explanation for why the service isn’t hesitating to pull the plug, even if it doesn’t completely smooth things over.
InSneider’s Jeff Schneider reports (via Screen Rant) that Lucasfilm is “developing several new shows that simply haven’t been announced yet.” That is, the companies involved obviously have more episodic franchise projects in the works, and so they didn’t feel it necessary to move on to a series whose profitability overshadowed its ratings.
It has not been confirmed and other recent rumors have actually pointed to the idea that there are no extras Star Wars series were in progress. But it wouldn’t be surprising if under-the-radar projects were in the works. Disney is apparently in re-evaluation mode with much of its original content, purely for financial reasons Ahsoka Season 2 seems to have been left on the table aside from the upcoming one Star Wars series Skeleton Crew.
As with any canceled show, it’s always possible The Follower could come back in some way, shape or form. If more Star Wars The shows are really coming into the future, the story and characters could be continued in another series. Even Lee Jung-jae is optimistic about the future, despite the fact that Master Sol’s character was killed off by Amandla Stenberg’s Osha in the season 1 finale. It was clear that there was more story to come, making the cancellation all the more disappointing .
The good thing is that the Star Wars The franchise continues to thrive on both the big and small screen, and there will always be the ability to continue whatever stories the creators desire. The fact that The Follower they did set up elements of season 2 could help in the long run, and even if the upcoming shows don’t address it, that doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t happen down the road.
While this is more exciting Star Wars shows are probably on the way, it’s still disappointing The Follower canceled. Those with a Disney+ subscription can still watch the first and only season.
