Before I post the article, let it be known that this information is not coming from the trades. However, DiscussingFilm, The Illuminerdi, Murphy's Multiverse, and some of the other outlets mentioned are reputable and have reported many pieces of news before. However, just keep expectations low just in case this turns out to be false.
"We have learned that Jon Watts is in talks to direct at least one episode of an upcoming mysteriously unannounced Star Wars series for Disney+, with plans to begin filming sooner than you might think.
The currently unannounced series is going under the working title of Grammar Rodeo with production slated to begin this Summer in Los Angeles. While we haven’t been able to gather any concrete information on who will be writing this new project, we’ve heard from a handful of sources that Jon Favreau will be executive producing. Favreau, of course, is an executive producer and writer on The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, and will soon be additionally credited as an executive producer on Ahsoka, which is at the moment in pre-production for a filming start within the next couple of months.
Sources tell us that talks with Jon Watts on directing at least one episode of this classified Star Wars series are dependent on his busy schedule.
...
Even though plot details are very scarce, The Illuminerdi recently uncovered casting breakdowns for this mysterious Star Wars series that lists young lead roles between the ages of 11 to 12, as well as an older 30 to 40-year-old man. Murphy’s Multiverse backs this report, saying their research found that Lucasfilm is looking to cast someone between the age of 10 to 12 for this new show. They also add that shooting will wrap in December, and Bespin Bulletin reports that the project will begin filming in the Summer at Manhattan Beach Studios, which backs what we heard about Lucasfilm already preparing crew hopefully for an early Summer production start.
Ss for when this could be set within the Star Wars timeline, Cinelinx reports that Grammar Rodeo is the working title for a show set during The High Republic era that has been described as “Stranger Things in Space.” Assuming that all of this information is correct, we would predict that the story could be following young Jedi padawans and a Jedi master during this unique period in the Star Wars universe.
