　　The animated Star Wars series is a spinoff of The Clone Wars. The Bad Batch follows "elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch as they find their way in a rapidly changing galaxy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War." Each member of the Bad Batch has their own specific skill, and together, they make a formidable crew in a galaxy far, far away.

　　Dave Filoni (The Clone Wars, The Mandalorian) executive produces the series, and Jennifer Corbett (Star Wars Resistance, NCIS) serves as head writer.

　　In related franchise news, actor Giancarlo Esposito (The Mandalorian, Breaking Bad) casually let it slip at a convention in Raleigh, North Carolina that The Book of Boba Fett has recently wrapped filming, and The Mandalorian Season 3 will start production soon.
