Disney and LucasFilm announce the new Star Wars: The Bad Batch animated series will debut on May the 4th on Disney Plus.
The adventures of Clone Force 99 begin this Star Wars Day as The Bad Batch’s next mission is about to begin.
The details include that Lucasfilm and The Walt Disney Company announced today that Star Wars: The Bad Batch — the next Star Wars animated series – will debut on May the 4th, a.k.a Star Wars Day, exclusively on Disney Plus, with the second episode premiering on Friday, May 7. Subsequent episodes will premiere on Fridays.
The series follows the elite and experimental troopers of Clone Force 99 (first introduced in Star Wars: 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, as they prefer to be called — 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.
