The series had a full writers’ room hired in January and ran through August of this year. The series was going to be 8 episodes long. Skeleton Crew co-creator Christopher Ford (Spider-Man: Homecoming) and Watts were developing it as a “western” series, much like how Skeleton Crew was a swashbuckling pirate adventure set in the Star Wars universe. It’s unclear whether the series was put on the back burner while he works on Episode X and will be picked up later, or if it’s been quietly canceled.
