Maul – Shadow Lord is set to explore one of the darkest chapters in Star Wars. There have been glimpses of Maul, who previously appeared in The Clone Wars and Rebels. However, this time, the series is set to explore the character and its nuances more than ever before. And what promises to make this dark, layered, and complex story even more exciting is its talented cast. The cast, which makes the heart of the series, has several notable and familiar names. 

As excitement grows over this new chapter following Maul, here is a closer look at the cast.

Sam Witwer as Maul: Witwer, who previously voiced the character in The Clone Wars and Rebels, was the choice for this season. 

Gideon Adlon as Devon Izara: Adlon, who previously worked in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths and Terminator Zero, will lend her voice to Devon Izara. Many might also recognize her from Miller’s Girl and Blockers.

Wagner Moura as Brander Lawson: Wagner Moura, well known for her roles in The Secret Agent and Narcos, will join the cast to lend his voice to Brander Lawson.
