Disney confirmed Star Wars: Ahsoka Season 2 will launch in early 2027, more than three and a half years after the first season aired in August 2023. Rosario Dawson, who stars as Ahsoka, said, "The second season will launch in early 2027" [1].
The second season continues Ahsoka's story, with a plot involving an invasion led by Grand Admiral Thrawn and exploration of a mysterious neighboring galaxy [1]. Hayden Christensen will return as Anakin Skywalker, reprising his guest role from the first season [1, 2].
Rory McCann, known for Game of Thrones, was cast as Baylan Skoll, replacing Ray Stevenson who originally played the role but died in May 2023 [1, 2]. Filming wrapped in October 2025, but post-production is expected to last at least 18 months, contributing to the delayed release [2].
A contributing factor to the delay may be the show's showrunner, Dave Filoni, being promoted to co-president and Chief Creative Officer of Lucasfilm [2]. Disney has scaled back its live-action Star Wars series after mixed receptions to Obi-Wan Kenobi and The Book of Boba Fett, as the first season of Ahsoka received a 64% audience score and an 86% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes [1, 2].
The next scheduled event is the early 2027 release of Season 2, marking a significant wait for fans eager to continue Ahsoka's adventures. Production concluded recently, setting the stage for extensive post-production work to complete the series.
