Disney+ Confirms May Debut For STAR WARS: THE BAD BATCH

What better date is there to debut a brand new Star Wars cartoon than May 4th? The annual celebration of all things Star Wars will this year mark the debut of brand new animated series The Bad Batch.

The series, which brings back legendary producer Dave Filoni, previously debuted a trailer back at Disney’s Investor Day teasing some intense, fast-paced action. The series follows an elite team of experimental clones, first introduced in The Clone Wars, as they fight their way through a rapidly changing galaxy in the aftermath of the Clone War.
