Maybe in Season 900, I’ll get to play an extra.” “But I’ve been campaigning to be on the show for years now. “I walked over and took a picture because I’m a huge fan,” Dobrev told me on the phone from New York, where she and Julianne Hough had just rung the closing bell of the New York Stock Exchange to celebrate their wine company Fresh Vine Wine’s initial public offering. ![]() Nina Dobrev started a lot of speculation about her joining “Stranger Things” for its fourth season after she posted a photo of herself in early December on Instagram in front of a building emblazoned with “Hawkins High School: Home of the Tigers.” She captioned the pic, “stranger things have happened …” But Dobrev tells me she was just having some fun in Atlanta while filming her upcoming Netflix comedy “The Out-Laws” near the “Stranger Things” set. Stay tuned for more news in the weeks after the Season 1 finale.Nina Dobrev. So, who knows? It's hard to say right now, but it was not the intention.” “There's obviously another 10 years before we get to A New Hope and with a character like Obi-Wan Kenobi, I think even just watching him ride across the sand sometimes is interesting. “I mean, there are of course more stories that you could tell,” she said in that same RadioTimes interview. You know, I think there's certainly more there to explore and I would be so excited to get to do so.”ĭirector Deborah Chow also sees the potential, though she hasn’t confirmed any continued production.

McGregor, however, says he’s on board should the series continue. Obi-Wan Kenobi writer and executive producer Joby Harold, however, has said that the first season was conceived as a “close-ended story.” He said in an interview that he hasn’t thought beyond season 1, an indication that the series may be a different breed from The Mandalorian, which seemed to always be a multi-season show. ![]() With their previous Star Wars property, The Mandalorian, the company made the Season 2 announcement immediately after the Season 1 finale, with executive producer Jon Favreau teasing the second season that same day.

Here's what we know about the future of the franchise, and whether or not Obi-Wan Kenobi will get another pants-crapping season. Should the series continue for a second season (and survive yet another torrent of racist toxicity from maybe the most wretched hive of scum and villainy in all of fandom), we’re hoping for more Obi-Wan-Vader novelty and a lot less empire-base-infiltration redundancy.
