When Obi-Wan Kenobi premiered on Disney+ in May 2022, it delivered an emotional, character-driven story that resonated with fans across the Star Wars galaxy. Set ten years after the tragic events of Revenge of the Sith, the limited six-episode series followed Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) as he stepped out of hiding to rescue a young Princess Leia and ultimately confronted his former Padawan, now Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen).
Originally conceived as a standalone series, the show’s success and emotional depth sparked immediate fan demand for a second season. But more than two years later, where do things really stand with Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2?
Is Season 2 Officially Confirmed?
As of April 2025, Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2 is not in active development. However, the door hasn’t been closed.
During Star Wars Celebration 2023 in London, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy addressed the show’s future. While confirming that a second season wasn’t currently on the studio’s schedule, she added:
“I never say never, because there’s always the possibility.”
This statement, reported by CBR, suggested that if the right story aligned with Lucasfilm’s broader roadmap, a continuation could happen.
Ewan McGregor’s Take
Ewan McGregor has remained vocal about his enthusiasm for returning to the role. At LA Comic Con in October 2024, McGregor shared that Lucasfilm is “exploring ideas” for a potential Season 2.
He also expressed particular excitement about exploring the Clone Wars era and potentially reuniting with Hayden Christensen for flashback sequences. You can watch his remarks in this panel recording: YouTube: LA Comic Con 2024 – Ewan McGregor.
What Could Season 2 Look Like?
If a second season moves forward, it would need to balance new storytelling with existing canon. Obi-Wan’s exile between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope limits his interactions, but there’s still narrative potential:
- Tatooine-centric missions: Obi-Wan subtly helping others while protecting Luke from the shadows.
- Spiritual growth: Exploring his connection to the Force and his evolving relationship with Qui-Gon Jinn.
- Clone Wars flashbacks: Featuring younger versions of characters like Ahsoka, Anakin, and Duchess Satine.
Reva’s unresolved story arc also presents opportunities for conflict or redemption in future episodes.
Cast & Crew: Who Could Return?
If Season 2 is greenlit, the likely returning cast includes:
- Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi
- Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader / Anakin Skywalker
- Moses Ingram as Reva Sevander
- Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse as Owen and Beru Lars
- Liam Neeson as the voice or apparition of Qui-Gon Jinn
Other potential characters include a young Ahsoka Tano and Duchess Satine Kryze in flashbacks.
Behind the camera, Deborah Chow—who directed all six episodes of Season 1—has expressed openness to returning. Joby Harold, the showrunner and writer, may also return to ensure continuity.
How Season 1 Was Received
The first season received praise for its emotional storytelling, McGregor’s nuanced performance, and Christensen’s return. Flashbacks and the climactic duel were particular highlights.
However, there were critiques as well:
- Some fans found the pacing uneven.
- Reactions to Reva’s character were mixed.
- Questions were raised about certain canon interpretations.
Despite that, the emotional weight of the show and its nostalgic connections resonated with a majority of longtime fans.
Is There a Trailer?
As of now, there is no official trailer for Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2, as the project is not currently in development. However, fans looking to relive the emotional moments of the original run can revisit the Season 1 trailer, which captures the tone, stakes, and nostalgia that made the series memorable:

If a second season is eventually greenlit, promotional material like teasers or trailers will likely begin to surface within 12 months of a premiere date, following Disney+’s usual rollout strategy.
