Obi-Wan Kenobi: Ewan McGregor Claims ‘We’re Exploring’ Season 2 Possibilities

The Force of positive thinking continues to be strong with Ewan McGregor, who said at L.A. Comic Con this past weekend that he and… someone… are “exploring” possibilities for a second season of Disney+’s live-action Obi-Wan Kenobi Star Wars series.

Set 10 years after the events of 2005’s Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 1 found our titular hero hiding out from the force-sensitive agents, known as Inquisitors, who were tasked with dispatching all surviving Jedi.

Following young Princess Leia’s (Vivien Lyra Blair) kidnapping — a ploy by Inquisitor Reva ( The Queen’s Gambit’s Moses Ingram) to draw him out — Obi-Wan left his decade-long hideout on Tatooine for a rescue mission that took him far across the galaxy.

The series reunited McGregor with Hayden Christensen, who reprised his role as Darth Vader.

As recently as January, McGregor had said, “I would love to do the second season, but there’s no talk of it yet ,” McGregor said as recently as late January, noting: “There is a lot going on at Disney” with regards to the future of its Star Wars properties.

Asked anew about a possible Season 2 at L.A. Comic Con, McGregor (in the video above) at first noted, “I quite like to wear that armor from the Clone Wars, that could be something I’d enjoy” doing again — though it would require digitally de-aging him. But “that way, Hayden (as a pre-Darth Anakin Skywalker) and I could really get back together again!”

Turning to the far more practical prospect of simply picking up where the Disney+ series left off, McGregor said, “Obviously, between the end of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series and when Alec Guinness is Obi-Wan Kenobi [in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope ], there’s got to be another few stories in there. We’re definitely hoping– or exploring that, I think would be the word to say.”

In April 2023, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said that Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2 “is not in active development,” but “I never say never, because there’s always the possibility. That show was so well-received and [director] Deborah Chow did such a spectacular job. Ewan McGregor really wants to do another…. We’ll turn our attention to that again maybe down the road.”

Weeks later, in a May 2023 episode of EW’s Dagobah Dispatch podcast , Kennedy said, “I always hesitate to say no to more Obi-Wan Kenobi … But right now, it’s still our standard standalone limited series.”

Weeks after The Acolyte ‘s one-and-done cancellation, Disney+’s slate of Star Wars TV series will resume Dec. 3 with the debut of Jude Law’s Star Wars: Skeleton Crew , followed by Andor Season 2 sometime in 2025.
