We're heading back to a galaxy far, far away with new Disney Plus series Skeleton Crew. The latest adventure in the Star Wars universe follows a group of young travelers who discover something incredible on their home planet. This sets them on a journey across the galaxy where they soon find more than they've bargained for. Jude Law leads the adult cast as Force-user Jod Na Nawood along with youngsters Ravi Cabot-Conyers as Wim, Ryan Kiera Armstrong as Fern, Kyriana Kratter as KB, and Robert Timothy Smith as Neel.
As with all Disney Plus shows, the new Star Wars series won't be dropping all at once, and will instead be releasing weekly. However, this is where it gets a bit complicated. While the streamer used to release its new shows at the same time, the latest few releases have shifted around a bit. So if you're a little bit confused about when and how you'll be able to stream Skeleton Crew, you're in the right place. Below we take you through all the details, from release time to how many episodes there are.
