Ewan McGregor Thinks ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ Season 2 Will Happen Eventually
Obi-Wan Kenobi was always described as a limited series, a six-part event that would wrap it up for Ewan McGregor’s time as the character. However, leading up to the series’ release, Kathleen Kennedy and Ewan McGregor started toying around with the possibility of coming back for another season. While there is no official confirmation that a new season will happen, McGregor said recently that he thinks that, sooner or later, it will.
The actor was recently a guest on Celebrity Fan Fest, where he was asked about the possibility of Obi-Wan Kenobi coming back for a second season, to which he responded:
“I’m totally up for it guys, I wanna do it. […] I’m absolutely honest, there is no plan to make one yet. But I think, I’m pretty sure they’re just biding their time. But nobody’s approached me as of yet.”
In addition to the show’s lead actor, Ewan McGregor was also an executive producer on Obi-Wan Kenobi. If there was a green light on a second season, he would literally be the first to know. From what we could gather during the press tour for the series, it seems like the one person that is not convinced yet is director Deborah Chow (and to an extent, head writer Joby Harold). While Lucasfilm could move forward without either of them, apparently they haven’t decided either way just yet.
The series was officially announced during the D23 Expo in 2019, when Kathleen Kennedy brought Ewan McGregor out on stage to ask him if he would play Obi-Wan again. Three years later, the Disney convention is coming back to Anaheim, though if Ewan McGregor is telling the truth here and there are no plans in place, it’s unlikely that Lucasfilm will be repeating that moment. Lucasfilm will be hosting a panel with Marvel Studios on September 10, where we expect news about some of their upcoming projects, like The Acolyte or Indiana Jones 5.

Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as movies from Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
