Star Wars' anime series returns in 2025 for a third season – including a short from one of the studios behind Attack on Titan

The third season of animated anthology series Star Wars: Visions is heading to Disney Plus in 2025 – and it's a return to its anime roots.

As revealed by Lucasfilm, nine anime studios will be contributing to the latest instalment of Star Wars: Visions. They are: David Production (Fire Force), producer Kamikaze Douga+Anima (Batman Ninja), Kinema Citrus (Made in Abyss), Polygon Pictures (Love, Death & Robots), Production I.G. (Haikyu), Project Studio Q (Evangelion 3.0+1.0), Studio Trigger (Delicious in Dungeon), and Wit (Attack on Titan).

Among those nine, only four are returning from 2021's debut season. Its second season, released in 2023, went more international with its scope – encompassing everything from the UK's Aardman studio to India's 88 Pictures.

Now, Star Wars: Visions is reverting back to the first season's anime-centric lineup. It also adds to 2025's strong anime lineup. Solo Leveling season 2 hits our screens in January and is soon joined by Netflix's Sakamoto Days. My Hero Academia season 8 brings the superhero shonen to a close next year, plus Cowboy Bebop co-creator Shinichirō Watanabe is bringing Lazarus, which he has described as his "masterpiece", to Adult Swim.

Star Wars, meanwhile, is bringing Goonies-style adventure Skeleton Crew to Disney Plus in December. The upcoming Star Wars series stars Jude Law, Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Kyriana Kratter, and Robert Timothy Smith.
