New Animated Series Star Wars The Bad Batch Coming to Disney Plus in 2021

Disney+ has announced that they will be adding a new animated series to its lineup - "Star Wars: The Bad Batch". The series will premiere in 2021.

The series follows the elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch (first introduced in "The Clone Wars") as they find their way in a rapidly changing galaxy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War. Members of Bad Batch - a unique squad of clones who vary genetically from their brothers in the Clone Army -- each possess a singular exceptional skill which makes them extraordinarily effective soldiers and a formidable crew. In the post-Clone War era, they will take on daring mercenary missions as they struggle to stay afloat and find new purpose.

Agnes Chu, senior vice president, Content, Disney+, said, "Giving new and existing fans the final chapter of ‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars' has been our honor at Disney+, and we are overjoyed by the global response to this landmark series. While the Clone Wars may have come to its conclusion, our partnership with the groundbreaking storytellers and artists at Lucasfilm Animation is only beginning.  We are thrilled to bring Dave Filoni's vision to life through the next adventures of the Bad Batch."

"Star Wars: The Bad Batch" is executive produced by Dave Filoni ("The Mandalorian," "Star Wars: The Clone Wars"), Athena Portillo ("Star Wars: The Clone Wars," "Star Wars Rebels"), Brad Rau ("Star Wars Rebels," "Star Wars Resistance") and Jennifer Corbett ("Star Wars Resistance," "NCIS") with Carrie Beck ("The Mandalorian," "Star Wars Rebels") as co-executive producer and Josh Rimes as producer ("Star Wars Resistance"). Rau is also serving as supervising director with Corbett as head writer.

Disney+ streams movies and shows from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and more. Visit DisneyPlus.com to subscribe and/or learn more about the service.
