Light & Magic Season 2 OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Lawrence Kasdan¡¯s documentary series on ILM

Light & Magic Season 2 OTT Release Date: If you've ever watched a Star Wars movie and wondered, ¡°How did they even create that?¡±, then this documentary is the kind of show that brings all the answers and more. After an incredible first season that gave us a rare look into the early days of visual effects and the genius minds behind some of Hollywood¡¯s most iconic films, this show is back with a second season. Light & Magic Season 2 premieres on April 18, 2025, exclusively on Disney+ (JioHotstar for Indian viewers).

A quick recap of Light & Magic Season 1

Season 1 was a beautiful trip down memory lane, not just for movie buffs, but for anyone who loves a good underdog story. Directed by Lawrence Kasdan, Light & Magic took us inside the world of Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), the visual effects company started by George Lucas when he needed someone to bring the original Star Wars to life back in the '70s.

The series introduced us to a bunch of passionate, quirky, and brilliant people (model makers, animators, engineers, and dreamers) who had no rulebook to follow. They were literally inventing things as they went along, from building spaceships out of scrap parts to figuring out how to make creatures come alive on screen using stop motion, practical effects, and, later, computer graphics.

You saw their frustrations, their eureka moments, and their teamwork. Light & Magic made you feel like you were part of that magical workshop where modern movie history was being made.

What¡¯s in store for Light & Magic Season 2?

Season 2 is expected to pick up where the first one left off, tracing ILM¡¯s journey as it expanded from a small team of movie magicians into one of the most powerful forces in visual storytelling. With new interviews, rare archival material, and unseen footage, this season will explore ILM¡¯s evolution during the digital era and its influence on big franchises beyond Star Wars, including Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Avengers.
