After The Acolyte, a lot of Star Wars fans have been eager for another SW series with Skeleton Crew, and the show is set to premiere later next week. The good news for everyone is, the show is actually coming out early—but only by a day though.
As per the official announcement, instead of coming out on December 3 like originally planned, the two-episode premiere of Skeleton Crew will now take place on Monday, December 2. Here’s the post:
Mark your calendars. 🗓️

Despite the show premiering on a Monday, the following episodes will still be coming out on Tuesday as originally planned. It’s not clear why Disney decided to push the release date, but maybe a premiere at the start of the week could earn some great hype for the show.
Admittedly, fans have been at a low when it comes to Star Wars content, especially since The Acolyte got cancelled after just one season. We don’t know how long Lucasilm is planning to make Skeleton Crew run, but it does look like they could be setting up one complete story for the one season—just in case Disney decides to go the other way.
With a lot of fans eagerly awaiting the next season of Andor, fans are hoping that Skeleton Crew will be able to scratch that Star Wars itch that fans have been having for a while. Fingers crossed they manage to deliver this Stranger Things x Star Wars crossover.
Watch out for the premiere of Skeleton Crew on Dec. 2 only on Disney+.
