Ewan McGregor Hopes for a Second Season of Obi-Wan Kenobi
Ewan McGregor hopes to say “Hello There” one more time with a return to the character of Obi-Wan Kenobi. McGregor has donned the mantle of Jedi Master most recently in the first season of Obi-Wan Kenobi for Disney+.
McGregor spoke with Disney Studio Awards and expressed hope that a second season of Obi-Wan will happen at Disney+. McGregor and co-star Hayden Christensen sat down with Eric Davis to talk about their experience working together again on the series. McGregor said, “I was so happy to do it again, and so happy to work with Hayden again, and I hope we get the chance to do it again,” he said. “In the old days, I would joke about, ‘There must be a good story to tell between ‘Episode III’ and ‘VI’.’ But, it’s true. I always felt that there was.”

We have heard about a second season before. Series writer Stuart Beattie has also publicly expressed interest in a second season of Obi-Wan Kenobi. While the show was initially conceived as a limited series, the creative team feels there’s plenty of room in the timeline to tell more story before the famous duel on the Death Star.
Season 1 of Obi-Wan Kenobi was a critical success for Lucasfilm. The premier drew record viewership, and the show’s finale pulled 1.8 million viewers in only 5 days. Currently, Obi-Wan boasts an 82% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Season 1 of Obi-Wan Kenobi is now streaming on Disney+.
