The next animated series in the Star Wars saga focuses on a character who just keeps coming back: Maul. The series takes place in the early days of the Empire, just a few years after Order 66.

Here's the official synopsis from Lucasfilm: 

"Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord" picks up after the events of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars", for a pulpy adventure that finds Maul plotting to rebuild his criminal syndicate on Janix, a planet untouched by the Empire. There, he crosses paths with a disillusioned young Jedi Padawan who may just be the apprentice he is seeking to aid him in his relentless pursuit for revenge.

The voice cast is led by Sam Witwer, who also lent his voice to Maul in "Clone Wars", "Star Wars Rebels", and beyond, Gideon Adlon as Devon Izara, Wagner Moura as Brander Lawson, Richard Ayoade as Two-Boots, Dennis Haysbert as Master Eeko-Dio Daki, Chris Diamantopoulos as Looti Vario, Charlie Bushnell as Rylee Lawson, Vanessa Marshall as Rook Kast, David W. Collins as Spybot, A.J. LoCascio as Marrok, and Steve Blum as Icarus.

The first two episodes of Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord arrive on DisneyPlus on April 6th. Two new episodes will debut each Monday with the final episodes arriving on Star Wars Day, May the 4th.
