Darth Maul Returns in Maul: Shadow Lord – New Star Wars Animated Series Coming in 2026.

The Sith Strikes Back in a Bold, Dark Tale Set Between Revenge of the Sith & A New Hope.

Star Wars fans, prepare yourselves — Darth Maul is back! 🟥 One of the galaxy’s most feared Sith warriors is set to lead his own series titled Maul: Shadow Lord, a brand-new animated series slated for release in 2026. 😤⚔️

The show promises to dive deep into the darkest corners of the galaxy, exploring Maul’s rise as a criminal mastermind, his obsession with revenge, and the legacy of the Sith after the fall of the Jedi.

📺 What We Know So Far:

• The series will be animated with a stylized, mature visual tone — think Clone Wars meets Blade Runner. 🖤
• Set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, it will chronicle Maul’s journey from exile to Shadow Collective overlord.
• Expect appearances from fan-favorites like Savage Opress, Black Sun, Bo-Katan, and maybe even a certain young Han Solo 👀.

🧠 Why It Matters

After years of cameos and arcs in The Clone Wars and Rebels, fans have been demanding a dedicated Maul series — and now it’s finally happening.

“He’s more than a villain with a cool lightsaber. He’s tragedy, rage, and raw power,” said one fan on GalacticNet.

This could be the darkest Star Wars project yet, diving into Sith philosophy, betrayal, and the brutal underworld of a galaxy in chaos.

🎬 Coming in 2026 — And It’s Canon!

Lucasfilm confirmed that Maul: Shadow Lord will be canon, adding more depth to Maul’s complex story and bridging gaps between films.

For Maul stans and dark side devotees, 2026 can’t come fast enough. 👹
