Renewed Or Cancelled?
Skeleton Crew is the latest in a slew of new Star Wars content dropping on Disney+, revolving around a bunch of kids who jet off across the galaxy, doing well to bring back that wonder and awe that made the original Star Wars so revered.
This series has been quite the rollercoaster ride over the weeks and given its current run with Disney, you may be wondering if this one has been renewed or cancelled.
What is Skeleton Crew Season 1 about?
Skeleton Crew centers on four kids who make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that leads them to get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Along the way, they’re joined by a mysterious former ship captain called Jod Na Nawood, who does his best to try and get them home. However, there are secrets and more to be uncovered, which are revealed across the show’s run-time.
We have extensive coverage of Skeleton Crew on the site, including ongoing recaps for all six episodes. You can find those HERE!
Has Skeleton Crew been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, Disney+ has not renewed Skeleton Crew for season 2. Given the relatively subdued popularity of this one over the weeks, it’ll be interesting to see if they actually do renew this for a follow-up.
The people who are watching this are enjoying the tone and young adult feel to the story, while the practical effects are a nice touch too. However, it’s not in the top 10 Nielsen Rankings, hasn’t been trending on social media and the buzz has been rather subdued. While not always an accurate measure, if you look at the episode ratings on IMDB, the drop-off rate between the first episode and latest chapters is pretty big too.
Weighing all of this up, there’s a pretty good amount of evidence supporting Skeleton Crew not to be renewed for season 2. In fact it appears to gave less views than The Acolyte, which was cancelled last year, causing 82,000 fans of the show to sign a “Renew The Acolyte” petition. Could we see the same for Skeleton Crew?
With all of this in mind, we’re predicting that this will be quietly shelved and cancelled, but then we could be completely wrong too, so we’ll have to wait and see what the official word is!
What we know about season 2 so far:
Barely anything is known about season 2 at this point, given Disney+ have not green-lit a sequel. However, there is always the possibility that the actors return for a follow-up or even a spin-off. At the end of the day, Star Wars has a huge expansive library of stories (many of which in a huge library of fiction that Disney has retconned).
For now though, we’re under the impression that there will not be a season 2 but we will aim to update this page when more information becomes available.
