It will be created and executive produced by Jon Watts and Christopher Ford. The series will center around a group of children lost in space.

Development[]

"It's the story of their journey trying to find their way home. It stars four kids, but it is not a kids show."
―Jon Watts[9]

On May 17, 2022 Vanity Fair reported that a Star Wars series was in development for Disney+, with Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts serving as creator and executive producer. Spider-Man: Homecoming writer Christopher Ford will serve as writer.[3] Later that month, during Celebration Anaheim, the name of the show and further details were revealed, including the casting of Jude Law.[9] Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, the creators of the shows The Mandalorian and Ahsoka, which take place around the same time frame,[9] are serving as executive producers.[1] While filming Spider-Man: No Way Home, Favreau asked Watts if he was interested in directing Star Wars. Instead, Watts pitched his idea for a new series. Favreau called Filoni from Atlanta, and they joined a video call, where Watts pitched his idea.[10]

Filming wrapped up in January, 2023.[11] The first footage for the series was revealed at Celebration Europe in April 2023.[12] On August 12, 2023, Industrial Light & Magic confirmed via its official Twitter account that its studios in Sydney, Australia and Mumbai, India would be contributing to the series' visual effects and animation.[13]

Skeleton Crew was announced for 2023,[1] before later being moved to 2024.[2]
