The new Star Wars series is a real critics' darlingand some fans can also get excited about it: Skeleton Crew, for example, is includedRotten TomatoesWith an average score of an impressive 95 percent, viewers get at least a decent 80.

Is Skeleton Crew not watched enough?

But it seems as if the big rush for Skeleton Crew will not happen.What supports this thesis? The Insider MagazineBespinBulletinrefers to a list ofVariety, which collects the most successful series releases every week. The new Star Wars series hasn't been shown there yet.

BespinBulletin now presents based on the current bottom of the list - the thriller seriesat Sky/Wow - a calculation: If you refer to the visible numbers, it looks like Skeleton Crewdoesn't even come close to The Acolyte's ratings.

This is what fans are worried about (for exampleReddit) about the future of the new Star Wars series. After all, The Acolyte was pulled on the grounds thatswitched on - so a season 2 is not expected at the moment.

The reactions from fans are quite clear.Disney, for example, is accused of having been too sparse in marketing Skeleton Crew anyway. The Star Wars series is hardly an issue in her personal environment and the weak performance is therefore hardly surprising.

Is there still hope for Skeleton Crew?

Of course, please note:BespinBulletin's bill reads coherently. However, it is not 100 percent guaranteed that this will be the case. It is also unknown what Disney hopes and expects from Skeleton Crew's performance.

In addition, Skeleton Crew could still thrive in the long term, as is already the case, for examplewas the case. This is also a critic and audience favorite that started weakly but gained more traction as the first season progressed.

It is currently unknown whether Skeleton Crew will get a second season.At least the series creators Jon Watts and Christopher Smith already revealed in the interviewColliderthat new episodes would be planned. And in order to get around the problem of rapidly aging child actors, one would then work with a time jump.
