Star Wars: The Bad Batch is an American animated television series developed by Dave Filoni for the streaming platform Disney+. This entry in the Star Wars universe serves as a spin-off of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, taking place after the Clone Wars and during the events following Order 66. The story centers on Clone Force 99, a group of clone soldiers with genetic differences who refuse to follow Order 66 and flee during the rise of the Galactic Empire. The squad is accompanied by Omega, a young female clone.
Dee Bradley Baker provides voices for the Bad Batch characters as well as most other clones, continuing his role from The Clone Wars. Michelle Ang voices Omega. The series was unveiled in July 2020, following the conclusion of The Clone Wars season that featured the Bad Batch, an idea originally conceived by Star Wars founder George Lucas. Lucasfilm Animation produced the show, with Jennifer Corbett serving as head writer and Brad Rau as supervising director; Filoni, Corbett, and Rau acted as executive producers, alongside Athena Yvette Portillo.
The initial season debuted on May 4, 2021 and consisted of 16 episodes concluding on August 13. Season two, containing 16 episodes, aired from January 4 to March 29, 2023, while the final season, with 15 episodes, was released from February 21 to May 1, 2024. Critics have responded favorably to the series, especially praising its animation and voice performances.
