Star Wars: Underworld is the working title for the long in-production Star Wars live action tv series. In a recent interview Rick McCallum divulged this as well as reiterating the kind of show that they are hopeful of producing sometime in the next 5 years.
To summarize, the tone and target audience for the series remains very adult, akin to Battlestar Galactica or Mad Men. Focusing on the workings of the society in the galaxy far, far away - removing the Skywalkers from the equation. The main hurdle is how to produce a vfx-heavy show within a small(ish) budget and retain the quality and within reasonable time constraints, as well as which broadcasting approach to take in regards to distribution. McCallum also comments that they have 50-odd scripts ready to go.
Hopefully it comes to fruition.
