Topaz of Sakaar

Topaz of Sakaar is a 2024 television series created by Taika Waititi for the streaming service Disney+, based on Marvel Comics featuring the characters of Grandmaster and Topaz, the latter of which was introduced in 2017's Thor: Ragnarok. The series takes place partly in an alternate universe, as well as in the MCU's timeline after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Waititi also served as director of the series and was also the head writer.

Rachel House and Jeff Goldblum reprise their respective roles as Topaz and Grandmaster, with Suzanna Son, Darby Camp, Monica Barbaro, and Colin Firth also starring. In April 2022, Marvel Studios announced plans for several new Disney+ series, which included Topaz of Sakaar, with the announcement that both House and Goldblum were reprising their roles as Topaz and the Grandmaster. Production began at Village Roadshow Studios and in Baltimore, Maryland from December 2022 and wrapped in July 2023, while season 2 was produced in Village Roadshow Studios from January 2024 to May 2024.

The series premiered on Disney+ on November 6, 2024 and ran for 10 episodes. Two weeks after the finale of the series was aired, Season 2 was announced to be greenlit, alongside a theatrical movie serving as the show's finale. Due to the production of the movie, Season 2 was reduced to 5 episodes, and premiered on October 8, 2025. The series recieved praise from critics for House, Son, and Camp's performances, as well as the themes in the show of trust and change. The series directly sets up the film of the same name, which was released on May 22, 2026.

Premise
In an alternate universe seperate from the events of Thor: Ragnarok, Topaz becomes bored with her everyday life serving the Grandmaster, and seeks to find a much more exciting life. One day, a strange artifact comes into her possession and transports her to another universe. There, she meets Bonnie Keating and her younger sister Janice. Together, they show Topaz the power of kindness, which leads to a change in her personality by the end of Season 1.

In Season 2, after the events of the finale transport the Keating siblings and Topaz to Sakaar, the girls must try their best to adjust to Sakaarian culture, leading into the events of the movie.

Cast and characters

 * Rachel House as Topaz, the Grandmaster's chief enforcer and protagonist of the series. House herself has claimed she was nervous about her character being the lead role of the show, but once she read the script of the first episode, she was sure she could deliver it. House also believed that the themes of the series gave Topaz more personality. Elodie Bolmfield portrays a young Topaz.
 * Jeff Goldblum as Grandmaster, one of the Elders of the Universe who rules the planet of Sakaar. Though only seen in flashbacks throughout a majority of season 1, he is one of the main characters in Season 2. Goldblum found it interesting to work with Son and Camp in Season 2, as they brought a certain energy to the set.
 * Suzanna Son as Bonnie Keating, a college-aged student living in Baltimore, Maryland. Son has stated that her role as Bonnie had to be as realistic as possible to convey the relationship between not only a new friend, but her family as well.
 * Darby Camp as Janice Keating, a girl entering her freshman year of high school.
