Star Wars fans are eagerly awaiting Ahsoka Season 2, the next chapter of Ahsoka Tano’s epic journey on Disney+. Following the gripping finale of Season 1 in October 2023, excitement is high for updates on the release date, cast, and story. Using the latest insights from Lucasfilm and posts on X, here’s a concise breakdown of what we know about Ahsoka Season 2.
Release Date: When Can We Expect It?
Lucasfilm has confirmed that Ahsoka Season 2 is in active production, with filming starting April 28, 2025, in the UK, as reported by Screen Rant and That Park Place. Based on Season 1’s timeline—filming from May to October 2022 and premiering in August 2023—production typically takes 15-18 months. This points to a likely release in late 2026, potentially between September and December. The schedule aligns with Disney’s plan to prioritize The Mandalorian & Grogu film, set for May 22, 2026, before Ahsoka Season 2 hits screens. While some fans on X hope for an earlier drop, delays could push the premiere to early 2027.
Cast: Who’s Returning?
The core cast is set to return, bringing familiar faces from Star Wars Rebels and Season 1:
- Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano, the Jedi hero.
- Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, Ahsoka’s apprentice.
- Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger, the long-lost Rebel.
- Lars Mikkelsen as the cunning Grand Admiral Thrawn.
- Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla.
- David Tennant as the droid Huyang.
- Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker, with a potentially expanded role.
- Rory McCann steps in as Baylan Skoll, replacing the late Ray Stevenson.
- Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati, teasing “epic fights.”
- Steve Blum as Zeb Orrelios, completing the Rebels crew.
Plot: What’s Next?
Season 2 will likely continue from the Season 1 cliffhanger, with Ahsoka and Sabine stranded on Peridea. Expect a deeper dive into their struggle against Thrawn’s Imperial forces and a possible connection to the mystical Mortis gods. Dave Filoni, writing all eight episodes, is crafting a story that ties into his upcoming Star Wars film, blending high-stakes action with rich lore.
