When does Star Wars: Skeleton Crew release?

The first two-episodes of the latest Star Wars series will arrive on Monday December 2 for audiences in the US - while fans in the UK and Europe will have to wait until Tuesday December 3, due to the differences in time zones. The remaining six episodes will air weekly after that.

How has the release date changed?

Disney has moved up the first two episodes of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew by six hours. It will now arrive at 6pm PT on Monday December 2, instead of on December 3.

It is a big change for US audiences, who get to watch the show a whole evening earlier than they probably would have. But if you live in the UK and Europe, the episodes will just arrive in the early hours of Tuesday December 3, instead of around 8am.

Will the show be released in the UK?

Fans are still waiting for Alien: Romulus to arrive on Disney Plus outside of the US - it is currently streaming exclusively via Hulu. But the next Star Wars show will be available to all subscribers to the streaming service across the globe, so audiences won’t miss out.
