Following the recent Star Wars Celebration Japan event, new developments have emerged about the Star Wars universe. Carlton Cuse, known for his work on Lost, is reportedly developing a new Star Wars series with his son, Nick Cuse. This information surfaced on The Insneider and was later confirmed by Variety. Should the project materialize, Carlton Cuse would join J.J. Abrams as another Lost alumnus contributing to the Star Wars franchise. However, it is worth noting that another Lost alumnus, Damon Lindelof, previously had an underwhelming Star Wars experience.
Currently, there is a lack of specific details regarding the show. Key aspects such as the characters involved, the timeline within the Star Wars universe, and the cast remain undisclosed.
The potential series would mark the first professional collaboration between the father-son duo, each of whom boasts an impressive list of projects. Carlton Cuse’s credits include Lost, Bates Motel, The Strain, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Locke & Key, and Pulse. Nick Cuse has worked on The Leftovers, Watchmen, and Station Eleven. While both have substantial experience in the genre, it remains to be seen if their potential Star Wars project will move forward.
