For a while, Disney+ rarely went long without another live-action Star Wars series waiting around the corner.
Lucasfilm built an entire streaming lineup around the franchise, introducing new characters while bringing familiar faces back into the spotlight. Shows such as The Mandalorian, Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka helped make Star Wars one of Disney+'s most visible brands.
That crowded pipeline won't continue into 2027, at least based on everything Lucasfilm has announced so far.
The franchise still has a major movie coming to theaters. Disney+ also has plenty of other big properties filling its schedule. But live-action Star Wars television currently comes down to a single confirmed series.
Disney+ Is Bringing Ahsoka Back in 2027
Ahsoka Season 2 will premiere on Disney+ in early 2027, nearly four years after the first season wrapped up in October 2023.
Rosario Dawson will once again play Ahsoka Tano, the former apprentice of Anakin Skywalker. The character built much of her popularity through Star Wars animation before Dawson introduced the live-action version in The Mandalorian.
That eventually led to Ahsoka, which expanded her story into a full Disney+ series.
Season 2 will bring back Dawson alongside Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Lars Mikkelsen, Eman Esfandi, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Hayden Christensen.
Her return comes after Star Wars delivered several major releases throughout 2026.
Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord arrived on Disney+ in April. Then The Mandalorian & Grogu (2026) brought Star Wars back to movie theaters in May. Disney+ followed that with the animated Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi in August.
But the announced live-action streaming schedule drops off considerably after that.
Ahsoka Has No Live-Action Star Wars Company Yet
As of now, Lucasfilm hasn't announced another live-action Star Wars television series for Disney+ in 2027.
That makes Ahsoka Season 2 the only confirmed show carrying that part of the franchise into the year.
It's a noticeable difference from Disney+'s earlier Star Wars strategy.
Lucasfilm previously released The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor, Ahsoka, The Acolyte, and Skeleton Crew, creating a regular stream of live-action projects.
Some of the more recent results haven't matched the franchise's earlier momentum.
The Acolyte generated significant interest when it arrived, but suffered a substantial decline in audience during its run. Disney eventually decided against producing a second season.
The theatrical side also faced a setback with The Mandalorian & Grogu (2026). The movie earned around $345.2 million worldwide, leaving it as the lowest-grossing live-action Star Wars film.
Lucasfilm hasn't stopped making Star Wars movies, however.
Star Wars: Starfighter (2027) will arrive in 2027 with Shawn Levy directing and Ryan Gosling starring. That gives the franchise another theatrical release even as its Disney+ schedule remains unusually thin.
Marvel Helps Fill Disney+'s 2027 Calendar
Disney+ won't have to depend entirely on Star Wars for recognizable franchise programming.
Marvel already has several projects moving forward.
Charlie Cox will continue playing Matt Murdock in Daredevil: Born Again, with Vincent D'Onofrio returning as Wilson Fisk. Season 3 is expected to continue the series in 2027 while further connecting it to characters from Marvel's former Netflix shows.
Marvel Animation also has long-term plans for X-Men '97. Seasons 3 and 4 are already in development, extending the animated revival beyond its second season.
Those aren't the only projects Disney has lined up.
More Familiar Characters Are Heading to Disney+
Avengers: Mightiest Friends will bring together younger versions of several major Marvel heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Black Panther.
Disney+ is also getting something considerably different with Afterlife with Archie.
The Archie Comics adaptation places its familiar characters in a zombie-apocalypse story, with Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa overseeing the project.
Those shows give Disney+ several established properties to build around while Lucasfilm becomes more selective with live-action Star Wars.
Star Wars May Be Leaving Its Streaming Rush Behind
Disney+ once served as the center of a rapid expansion for live-action Star Wars.
The Mandalorian became an important part of the service's early success, and Lucasfilm followed it with several spin-offs and limited series.
That pace has slowed considerably.
Lucasfilm could announce additional shows before 2027 begins, so Ahsoka may not remain alone forever.
For now, though, the picture is clear.
Star Wars: Starfighter (2027) will represent the franchise in theaters, while Ahsoka Season 2 is currently the only confirmed live-action Disney+ series for 2027.
After years of Star Wars shows arriving regularly, one Jedi currently has Disney+'s entire live-action galaxy to herself.
