'Star Wars: Visions' renewed for S3; to premiere in 2025
Disney and Lucasfilm have officially renewed the animated anthology series Star Wars: Visions for a third season. The news was unveiled during Disney's two-day Content Showcase event in Singapore on Wednesday. The upcoming volume is set to premiere in 2025 and will feature nine new animated shorts from various anime studios based in Japan. The return to Japan marks a departure from the second volume's more international approach which featured studios from Spain, Ireland, Chile, South Korea, France, and India.
These Japanese studios will contribute to 'Star Wars: Visions' S03
The third volume of Star Wars: Visions will see contributions from a number of famous Japanese studios. These include David Production, Kamikaze Douga+ ANIMA, Kinema Citrus, Polygon Pictures, Production I.G., Project Studio Q, TRIGGER, and WIT Studio. The first volume of Star Wars: Visions, which premiered on Disney+ in September 2021, received near-universal acclaim from critics. It currently boasts a 98% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. The second volume—premiered in May 2023—followed suit, scoring a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
'Star Wars: Visions' has been a critical success
Since its debut in 2021, Star Wars: Visions has been one of Lucasfilm's boldest and most successful ventures. The series is an anthology of non-canon animated shorts, produced by various Japanese animation studios, each with its own unique animation style. The creative freedom has led to some truly imaginative interpretations of the Star Wars mythos, which have struck a chord with fans and critics alike.
