New Star Wars Series Explores Underworld with Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane

Star Wars Day brings more than just festivities this year, as a new animated series, Tales of the Underworld, is now streaming. This show follows assassin Asajj Ventress and bounty hunter Cad Bane as they navigate the gritty underbelly of the Star Wars universe. It marks the third chapter in the "Tales of" anthology, following Tales of the Jedi and Tales of the Empire.

Both characters, originally created by Dave Filoni for the Clone Wars series, get deeper stories in this latest installment. If you’re eager to dive into fresh Star Wars content this weekend, here’s everything you need to know.

Where to Watch Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld

Disney+, Hulu, Max Streaming Bundle Deal

Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld is streaming exclusively on Disney+. A virtual watch party for the first two episodes took place in Fortnite on Friday, but Disney+ is now the only platform to catch the series. As the home of Star Wars content since Disney acquired Lucasfilm, it’s your go-to destination.

If you don’t have a Disney+ subscription, there are cost-saving options available. The Disney+, Hulu, Max bundle offers the best value, combining all three services into one package. Alternatively, Disney+ offers other bundle deals if you prefer not to pay for a standalone subscription.

Episodes of Tales of the Underworld

Unlike many major Star Wars series, Tales of the Underworld drops all episodes at once. The series includes six episodes, all available to stream now.

What’s the Story?

If the main characters are new to you, consider watching key episodes of Clone Wars first. Here’s a brief overview of the series from Disney+:

"Journey through the galaxy’s shadowy underworld in this six-episode saga featuring two iconic villains. Asajj Ventress, a former assassin and bounty hunter, gets a shot at redemption and must flee with an unlikely ally, while outlaw Cad Bane confronts his past when he faces an old friend, now a marshal on the opposite side of the law."
