Darth Maul Returns in New Animated Series 'Shadow Lord' Coming to Disney+

One of the most menacing and magnetic figures in the Star Wars universe is back. At Star Wars Celebration 2025 in Tokyo, Lucasfilm revealed Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, an all-new animated series heading to Disney+ in 2026. The show will bring back Sam Witwer as the voice of Darth Maul, marking another chapter in the character’s legacy that stretches from The Phantom Menace to Clone Wars, Rebels, and even Solo: A Star Wars Story.

A Darker Chapter in Maul’s Saga

Shadow Lord picks up after the events of The Clone Wars, exploring Maul’s return to the shadows as he rebuilds his criminal empire on a remote planet still untouched by the Empire’s grip. According to footage shown at the Lucasfilm Animation panel, this is not a redemption arc. This is Maul at his most cunning and brutal—still burning with rage and ambition.

The clip shown in Tokyo sets the tone clearly: gritty and intense. We see Maul leading a prison break to rescue a Force-sensitive Twi’lek, whom he offers to train. The scene closes with a flurry of lightsaber combat as Maul cuts down multiple enemies with ruthless efficiency. The animation leans darker in tone and palette, clearly setting this series apart from previous entries.

The Return of Sam Witwer

Fans of Clone Wars and Rebels will be thrilled to see Sam Witwer return as Maul. His voice performance has been integral to the character’s transformation from silent assassin to tragic antihero. Witwer’s ability to convey Maul’s internal torment and calculating menace has made the character one of the most layered villains in Star Wars canon.

A New Era for Star Wars Animation

Shadow Lord arrives at a time when Lucasfilm Animation is doubling down on character-driven stories. This series promises to delve into Maul’s psychology, power struggles, and his role in the criminal underworld. It’s not about galactic conquest. It’s about survival, manipulation, and control.

With Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord set to launch in 2026, fans can expect a thrilling, emotionally charged series that finally gives Maul the center stage he deserves.
