Jon Watts and Chris Ford, the filmmakers behind Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, have shared that whilst they have ideas for a second season it “wouldn’t do like a Stranger Things thing where we’re like ‘It’s the next day,’ because it won’t be.”
“We 100% have an idea for a second season and know what we would do. […] We have a built-in ticking clock of the kids and their age, and by the time we would get production going, we know what age they would be. So, we would be writing towards that. You’ll be growing up with the kids . […] It would be something like [a three to four-year time jump] to make sense. We haven’t seen the kids in a while, so it just depends on how tall the kids are. But we wouldn’t do like a Stranger Things thing where we’re like ‘It’s the next day,’ because it won’t be. ”
In a back-and-forth with Watts, Ford further explained…
“It’s built into it that it would be a bigger time jump forward because it does take so long to get things moving. This isn’t like it would take place the next day because the kids are going to be older. […] There are so many repercussions. It’s like, you kind of want to catch up later.”
