Renewed Or Cancelled?
Obi-Wan Kenobi is the latest in a slew of new Star Wars content dropping on Disney+, revolving around the ever-enigmatic Obi-Wan Kenobi, bridging the gap between the prequels and the original trilogy.
This 6 episode series has been quite the rollercoaster ride over the weeks and given its popularity with Disney, you may be wondering if this one has been renewed or cancelled.
What is Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 1 about?
Set after the events of Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan Kenobi bridges the gap between the prequels and the original trilogy. Here, we follow Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi as he watches over a young Luke Skywalker. He also evades the Empire’s elite Jedi hunters, called the Inquisitors. Hiding out on Tatooine, Obi-Wan tries to survive while making sure his cover isn’t blown.
We have extensive coverage of Obi-Wan Kenobi on the site, including ongoing recaps for all six episodes. You can find those HERE!
Has Obi-Wan Kenobi been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, Disney+ has not renewed Obi-Wan Kenobi for season 2. Given the incredible popularity of this one over the weeks, it’ll be interesting to see if they actually do renew this for a follow-up.
In fact, Disney released a statement regarding Obi-Wan on social media: “Thank you to the best fans in the galaxy for making @ObiWanKenobi the most-watched #DisneyPlus Original series premiere globally to date, based on hours streamed in an opening weekend.”
It would seem people are digging the series, harking back to a different era away from the subjective quality of the New Trilogy. However, it’ll be interesting to see what the drop-off rate for this show actually is, given the recent negativity surrounding aspects of this show’s production.
Weighing all of this up, there’s a pretty good amount of evidence supporting Obi-Wan Kenobi to be renewed for season 2. With that in mind, we predict that Obi-Wan Kenobi will be renewed.
In recent news, alleged reputable sources over at MakingStarWars claim that the success of Obi-Wan’s first three episodes has pushed Disney into producing a follow-up season. This hasn’t been confirmed yet though but we’ll be sure to update this section with more details as they become available.
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 be a season 2 but we will aim to update this page when more information becomes available.

Huge fan of Star Wars and I’m of the opinion that this Season one of Obi wan Kenobi is going in the right direction Disney should definitely bring out more series and episodes in fact why not take us on a journey leading up to a new Hope the storylines are endless so many characters could be a part of this journey and as a fan we would be thrilled to watch this unfold with excitement nostalgia and entertainment .

Love the series hope there are more planned.
100% needs a season 2. please !!!
Definitely want to see a second season and maybe even a third in fact I would love to see Disney do as many different star wars spin off stories as possible.
i would like to see Obi-Wan Kenobi face off against Darth Maul and A’Sharad Hett alias Darth Krayt
Bring on season 2. I hope to see the return of Darth Maul. I hope to see Darth Sidious and also Master Yoda. Even see Obi wan finally communicate with Qui Gon Jin. There is so much more that can be done with this show
Most everyone who’s comments I’ve read, let’s go with as many seasons as the fans want! I watch star wars and mandalorian every day. Let’s keep it going. You have my full support! You know I’ll be watching. “ALWAYS!”
I think they should have 20 seasons of this show. Love it so far! There is at least 10 to 15 years of an age gap to cover here. The possibilities are endless. Bring it on!
Everybody is a critic…the recent negativity towards Obi- Wan-Kenobi series is just a reflection of the times we’re in…misery loves company…it would be better to watch this series with kid’s eyes…no fault-finding…just enjoy it for what it is.
This show has gained a great pace and quality in just 4 episodes. With a good team of writers, directors etc.. Obi Wan has huge potential to keep fans interested for a long time to come. Bring on more, definitely!
Not only season 2, but 3,4,5 and so on.
Love to see Ewan back as he was what made the prequels great. Please don’t make us wait to long!!
Can’t get enough!
Love the series
Definitely should be more to come. I want to know more about his brother, his love affair and the return of Darth Marl and his revenge. Lots more to cover. Love The young Princess and of course Ben!!! Darth is also fantastic and very menacing!!!
