New Details About Star Wars: Visions Season 2 Announced

Star Wars: Visions, the critically acclaimed animated anthology series, is set to return with an exciting new twist! In a special announcement from Disney+ and Lucasfilm, it was revealed that the second season of the series, Star Wars: Visions Volume 2, will premiere exclusively on Disney+ on Star Wars Day: May 4, 2023!

Star Wars: Visions Volume 2 will feature works from El Guiri (Spain), Cartoon Saloon (Ireland), Punkrobot (Chile), Aardman (United Kingdom), Studio Mir (South Korea), Studio La Cachette (France), 88 Pictures (India), D'art Shtajio (Japan) in collaboration with Lucasfilm, and Triggerfish (South Africa).

The first season of Star Wars: Visions was nominated for an Emmy Award and received a lot of praise from fans and critics alike. The second season promises to build on the success of the first, with nine new shorts from nine international animation studios that will showcase a variety of unique animation styles and cultures. This will allow audiences to see the Star Wars galaxy through the lens of different filmmakers, each with their own specific vision.

"The reaction to the first volume of Star Wars: Visions blew us away," recounts James Waugh, Star Wars: Visions Season 2 executive producer and senior vice president of Franchise Content & Strategy at Lucasfilm. "Every short is incredible, full of heart, scope, imagination, and the values that make stories distinctly Star Wars while opening up bold new ways of seeing what a Star Wars story can be."

Waugh, in addition to Jacqui Lopez and Josh Rimes, are the executive producers on the project.

In this new volume, audiences can look forward to nine shorts with their own individual story and perspective on the franchise. One such short is titled "Sith," written and directed by Rodrigo Blaas of El Guiri Studios. Emmy Award-winning Blaas, with over 20 years of experience in the industry, is best known for having worked on projects such as Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and Wall-E.

The other shorts are: "Screecher's Reach," directed by Paul Young of the studio Cartoon Saloon; “In the Stars,” written and directed by Gabriel Osorio of the studio Punkrobot; “I Am Your Mother,” directed by Magdalena Osinska of the studio Aardman; “Journey to the Dark Head,” directed by Hyeong Geun Park of Studio Mir; “The Spy Dancer,” written and directed by Julien Chheng of Studio La Cachette; “The Bandits of Golak,” directed by Ishan Shukla of the studio 88 Pictures; “The Pit,” written, directed, and executive produced by LeAndre Thomas of the studio D’art Shtajio in collaboration with Lucasfilm; and “Aau’s Song,” written and directed by Nadia Darries and Daniel Clarke of the studio Triggerfish.

We’re excited to witness what these talented filmmakers and animators will bring to the Star Wars galaxy in Star Wars: Visions Volume 2. Fans of Star Wars and animation alike will surely find something to enjoy in this new anthology series, set to premiere on May 4, 2023, exclusively on Disney+.
