Carlton Cuse has been tapped to write a new Star Wars show from Lucasfilm.
Cuse served as the showrunner of ABC’s Lost alongside Damon Lindelof. He also co-created Amazon Prime Video’s Jack Ryan series with Graham Roland and has worked on shows such as Bates Motel, The Strain, Colony, Locke & Key, Five Days at Memorial, and Pulse, among other titles.
What do we know about the new Star Wars show from the Jack Ryan creator?
According to Jeff Sneider’s The InSneider, Cuse and his son, Nick Cuse, are now writing a new Star Wars series for Lucasfilm and Disney+.
Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, meaning it’s unclear who the show will focus on or where it will be set within the Star Wars timeline.
Nick Cuse has worked on shows such as The Leftovers, Maniac, Watchmen, Calls, and Station Eleven. He also co-wrote the screenplay for 2020’s The Hunt, which was directed by Craig Zobel. This marks the first time that Carlton and Nick Cuse have collaborated on a project together.
While fans wait to see what Carlton and Nick’s Star Wars series turns out to be, Lucasfilm is now getting ready to launch Andor Season 2. Created by Tony Gilroy, the new season will premiere on Disney+ with three new episodes on April 22, 2025. Three new episodes will continue to drop weekly on Tuesdays until the finale then arrives on May 13, 2025.
Meanwhile, Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian & Grogu currently has a May 22, 2026, release date, while it was additionally recently announced that Shawn Levy’s Star Wars movie was moving forward in development as it has been given a May 28, 2027, release date. Starring Ryan Gosling, that film is now officially titled Star Wars: Starfighter.
A number of other Star Wars projects remain in various stages of development, including the Taika Waititi movie, the Rey film, and more.
