Could a Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Disney Plus live-action TV series happen? The Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2 game is confirmed for a March 17 release date, with a prequel tie-in novel due at the same time. Is a Star Wars Jedi TV series possible, or at least, could a Cal Kestis live-action appearance by Cameron Monaghan happen in another show like Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2?
Will Cameron Monaghan star in Star Wars Jedi Survivor Disney Plus TV series?
It is entirely possible that a Star Wars Jedi TV series based on the games may happen, but it is more likely that Cameron Monaghan will appear in live-action as Cal Kestis on a different Star Wars show first.
During the reveal of the latest Star Wars Jedi: Survivor trailer at the Game Awards, Cameron Monaghan appeared in person with a lightsaber to talk a little about the game. Monaghan does full performance capture for Cal Kestis, with his likeness used for the character. In fact, the character has been aged-up to better match Monaghan. Furthermore, Monaghan is more known for live-action work, most popularly as the early Joker Jerome/Jeremiah in DC’s Gotham TV series.
It would be very easy for Monaghan to reprise the role of Cal Kestis in live-action. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor coyly replies “we’ll see” when asked that exact question. There were rumors of Cal Kestis appearing on the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney Plus show as the series is set at the same time as Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The Fortress Inquisitorius from Fallen Order did appear, however. Furthermore, Cal’s droid friend BD-1 (or at least a similar type) appeared on The Book of Boba Fett.
It seems inevitable that Cameron Monaghan will appear in a Disney Plus Star Wars project at some point. Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 or Andor season 2 seem the most likely, as both are set in the same time period.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor releases on March 17, 2023.
