The official press release for Tales of the Underworld hints at exciting storylines for both Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane. Asajj will find herself on the run with an unexpected new ally, while Cad Bane will come face to face with an old friend who is now on the other side of the law.
The series will debut between the second and third weeks of the Andor Season 2 run, promising to bring fans deeper into the dark and intriguing world of the Star Wars universe. With the legacy of successful Star Wars animated series behind it, Tales of the Underworld looks to be another must-watch addition to the Disney+ streaming lineup.
