Skeleton Crew may have felt like the perfectly contained mini-series, but the show does end with a lot of loose threads, particularly with the fate of Jod and the future of At Attin now that they have no Supervisor.
While a second season hasn’t been officially announced, star Ravi Cabot-Conyers has hinted that there are plans for a follow-up. Here’s his IG post (via @sw_holocron):

This particular sentence hints at a future: “I hope my extraordinary Crew will be back together again in the future so we can inject a little adventure and intrigue into your life once a week! With love from Ravi.”
As far as Skeleton Crew goes, the series has gotten a lot of great reviews when it came out, but reports are saying that the series hasn’t been able to draw in an audience like Mandalorian. Even if that’s the case, with the show already completed, it’s possible that Disney is just waiting for Skeleton Crew to gain its audience over time. Though The Acolyte did get cancelled, there’s been nothing reported about how much Skeleton Crew cost—and it looked like it was mostly a money issue that led to Acolyte Season 2 not getting the greenlight.
So far, Skeleton Crew has managed to deliver the promise of ‘The Goonies in space’ pitch. The child cast is great, and it hits a lot of angst-y beats that are expected with these coming-of-age movies. We don’t know how they plan to move forward, but I suspect Wim and friends could be dealing with going to space college and having to say good-bye to one another.
Catch Skeleton Crew now showing on Disney+.
