Star Wars: Ahsoka season 2 is now in the works, and it might be a far, far weirder set of episodes.
Imperfect but daring, Star Wars: Ahsoka's first season did a lot to expand on the mystique of the Star Wars galaxy and bring back Star Wars Rebels players in surprising ways. Now, we await a season 2 that should lead directly into the 'event movie' to be written and directed by Dave Filoni that was announced in 2023 at Star Wars Celebration.
Disney and Lucasfilm's plans for Star Wars TV shows remain ambitious, but there's an intention to return to theatrical installments in the near future, with The Mandalorian & Grogu leading the charge in 2026. Up next, we have Star Wars: Starfighter to look forward to in 2027, though that all-new story is taking us past the Episode IX timeline.

What is the release date for Ahsoka season 2?
Ahsoka season 2 doesn't yet have a release date.
Ahsoka season 2 began shooting in spring 2025 in the United Kingdom. This should've put it on track to arrive at some point in 2026, but that hasn't panned out. Instead, we've learned it's coming in early 2027 instead, more than three years after season 1's finale.
How to watch Ahsoka season 2 online
Like everything Star Wars, Ahsoka season 2 will be available exclusively on Disney Plus, alongside Ahsoka season 1 and the other Star Wars shows that we've mentioned... although Disney and Lucasfilm are slowly releasing them on Blu-ray too.
If you're not currently signed up to Disney's streaming platform, there are some bundle offers below that are worth checking out.
What is the plot of Ahsoka season 2?
At this point little is known about the plot of Ahsoka season 2. However, after the season 1 finale and some teases, we can make some educated guesses about which plot they'll follow. We'll be updating this article as official details come out, so stay tuned.
Warning: Spoilers ahead for Ahsoka season 1
The eighth and final episode of Ahsoka's first season ended with Thrawn and his new Nightsister and 'enhanced' stormtrooper allies (as well as what looked like countless coffins) returning to the known galaxy and charting a course for Dathomir. We know that Imperial remnants awaited his return, so this all spells big trouble for the young New Republic. That said, will Ahsoka season 2 pay attention to this matter or focus squarely on the two leads, Ahsoka and Sabine, who were left behind on Peridea while Ezra escaped the planet?
According to the latest update at Star Wars Celebration 2025, it seems that we'll at least get Ackbar-on-Thrawn action as the New Republic has to deal with this new post-Imperial threat. Moreover, the Home One cruiser is back!
Ahsoka season 2 will be about more than just Ahsoka and her new mission (to return to the Star Wars galaxy we know and love). However, Peridea holds many secrets, especially after the fallen Jedi Baylan Skoll (to be played by Rory McCann after Ray Stevenson's passing) left everything and everyone to 'put an end' to the eternal light versus dark struggle that has guided the galaxy for too long.
It all sounds quite mystical and universe-shaking, and we can't wait to see how it pans out. Will the fabled Mortis gods be making their live-action debut after all these years? Filoni also confirmed at Celebration 2025 that they'll "have a presence" one way or another, noting they could be a challenge to translate into live action: "It's big, it's crazy. It's a complicated thing."
There's also the matter of Shin Hati being left behind by her master and former allies, and maybe finding a new purpose as the leader of the native bandits we saw attacking our heroes twice. Meanwhile, Sabine Wren finally 'connected' with the Force and stood alongside her master, Ahsoka, against Morgan Elsbeth and her forces instead of leaving alongside Ezra. It's an interesting path forward for the Mandalorian warrior, and Filoni might have further tricks up his sleeve when it comes to playing with a different kind of Jedi.
So far, we know Hayden Christensen will be back as Anakin aka the Chosen One. So, Anakin may have some new lessons for Ahsoka about how to deal with a difficult student like the one she once was.
Ahsoka season 2 Trailers
No Ahsoka season 2 trailers have been released so far as as it's still in post-production. That said, the wait shouldn't be much longer since it's confirmed to arrive in the early months of 2027.
Ahsoka season 2 cast
All of the season 1 characters that were left on Peridea and those now tasked with going up against Grand Admiral Thrawn in the central galaxy are expected to return, with the big exception of Ray Stevenson's portrayal of Baylan Skoll, as the actor sadly passed away in May 2023.
Pending new announcements and/or huge twists, this is what the main cast looks like at the moment:
- Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano
- Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren
- David Tennant as Huyang
- Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati
- Rory McCann as Baylan Skoll
- Lars Mikkelsen as Grand Admiral Thrawn
- Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker
- Steve Blum as Zeb Orrelios
- Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla
- Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger
Even Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan could be included in the reunion this time around, but such rumblings are far from confirmed. If the return to the prequel era is indeed locked, it would also include Ariana Greenblatt's teenage Ahsoka for sure.
Ahsoka season 2 directors, writer, & crew
Season 2 of Ahsoka consists of eight episodes, all written by series creator and Lucasfilm boss Dave Filoni. Star Wars TV veteran Bryce Dallas Howard directed two of them, with Filoni, Jennifer Getzinger (Ahsoka S1), and newcomer Anders Engström (Percy Jackson and the Olympians) behind the camera on the rest.
It remains to be seen whether Eric Steelberg and Quyen Tran will stick around as cinematographers, but we know Stephan Pehrsson (Wednesday) is on board for at least three episodes. Star Wars legend Doug Chiang has returned as production designer. Martin Foley (supervising art director on The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power) joined the team too. Kevin Kiner is also returning as the composer.
