Ahsoka season 2 is on the way, and now we have a release date and a shiny new trailer to get us even more excited. That's right, we will officially be reuniting with Rosario Dawson's titular Togruta and the rest of the cast very shortly. However, before we venture back into a galaxy far, far away, there is a lot to catch up on and news to breakdown.
After the first season's planet-hopping shenanigans and a returning Thrawn, the next chapter in the Disney Plus series is going to be a big one. In fact, we've gathered a ton of insights from interviews, the new teaser, and more, revealing that the upcoming Star Wars series will be a lot darker and more serious this time around. So if you want to get up to speed then you are in the right place.
Below, you'll find absolutely everything there is to know about the Ahsoka season 2 release date, cast, plot, and more. For even more, see our guides on how to watch The Clone Wars in order, or our streamlined list of what to watch before Ahsoka to catch up on the character's history.
Ahsoka season 2 release date
Ahsoka season 2 is heading our way on January 20, 2027. This news was confirmed along with a shiny new trailer in August 2026.
This has been a long time coming. Filming wrapped all the way back in 2025, and we had radio silence about the series after seeing that it wasn't included in Disney's updated 2026 slate. Luckily, there doesn't seem like there will be any more delays, but we will keep you posted if any changes happen.
Ahsoka season 2 plot
Ahsoka ends with Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren stranded in Peridea, while Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ezra Bridger both make it home to the main Star Wars galaxy. In the final moments of the season, we see Anakin Skywalker watching over Ahsoka and Sabine with a smile.
Filoni shared the first piece of concept art back in early 2024, providing some more clues about the new season's plot. Baylan Skoll is last seen on a giant statue of the Father, a Force god representing the balance who was killed in The Clone Wars (read our World Between Worlds explainer for a full explanation). The concept art shows Ahsoka and Sabine on the same statue, which is pointing into the distance.
Could Baylan be seeking the power of the World Between Worlds? One thing we do know for sure is that the Mortis gods will factor into the Ahsoka season 2 plot. "It's a big mystery," Filoni teased of the statues on Peridea at Star Wars Celebration. "The Son's there, the Father's there, most of the Daughter's there. So yeah, we'll figure it out. It's a good story."
Sabine Wren actor Natasha Liu Bordizzo also shared a picture to mark season 2 wrapping that seems to tease the World Between Worlds. Game of Thrones star Rory McCann will be taking over from the late Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll, which means his story definitely isn't over yet. Judging by an update from Shin Hati actor Ivanna Sakhno, her character might reunite with Baylan, too.
It sounds like the impact Anakin had on Ahsoka in season 1 will continue to be felt in season 2, too. "She had a more of a strong gravitas at the beginning, and she was a little bit more unflappable," Dawson shared at Comic-Con Scotland. "And I'm liking that she's relaxing, she's kind of getting back into her joy. I think those moments with Hayden [Christensen] and Anakin were so important for her to heal something so she could be more present. And that's what I'm really enjoying."
Plus, Filoni revealed at Celebration that Admiral Ackbar will appear in the new season, and he'll be facing off against Thrawn. Expect an epic naval battle from two of Star Wars's greatest strategists. And, thanks to a teaser trailer Filoni patched together from concept art and a retro voiceover, we also know that Sabine and Ahsoka will be fighting giant evil droids, while battles will take place across two galaxies. Plus, Ahsoka will eventually have another showdown with Baylan.
As for Ezra, we got our first public look at Ezra's return at Comic-Con, along with a video of actor Eman Esfandi showing off his lightsaber skills. Consider us hyped.
It seems that Hera Syndulla will have a bigger role, too. "You know, I'm not sure what I can say, other than I'm in this season a bit more, which is fun," Mary Elizabeth Winstead told Collider. "I'm definitely in on the action, as you say, quite a bit more, which was great to have a Hera really, kind of like, you know, getting some stuff done."
Intriguingly, one of the season's directors, Bryce Dallas Howard (who, thanks to season 2, has the most live-action directing credits of any Star Wars director), has shared a tease about the show's tone. "I just finished shooting two episodes for Ahsoka season 2 this summer," she revealed at LA Comic-Con (via Twitter). "It is so good, it's beautiful, it’s thrilling, it's adventurous, it's romantic. It is all the things that you want from an epic story." We could guess adventurous and thrilling from the teases so far, but romantic is a surprise to us. We'll just have to speculate while we wait...
Ahsoka season 2 trailer
The trailer for Ahsoka season 2 is finally here, and you can watch it for yourself above.
The clip runs for just over one minute and 30 seconds and shows us plenty of action, as well as a Force Ghost Anakin. War is the big word of the day, though, in the teaser, with lots of dogfights in space and some action-packed combat scenes. It all looks very interesting, so hopefully we have another great season on our hands.
Ahsoka season 2 cast
Hayden Christensen and Rosario Dawson are confirmed for the cast of Ahsoka season 2. Sadly, Ray Stevenson, who played Baylan Skoll in season 1, died in 2023. He's being replaced by Game of Thrones star Rory McCann for season 2.
Zeb, from Rebels, will show up at some point, but it's unknown just yet who'll be portraying him. Some other stars, including David Tennant, who plays Huyang, remain unconfirmed at present.
One person who most likely isn't showing up, though, is Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi. That's after some confusion thanks to a misquote at a convention appearance going viral, which Lucasfilm shut down. Another who won't be appearing is Nightsister actor Claudia Black, who candidly revealed she wasn't offered enough money, as a single mother, to come back and be part of the production in London.
The Ahsoka season 2 cast so far:
- Rosario Dawson – Ahsoka Tano
- Natasha Liu Bordizzo – Sabine Wren
- Lars Mikkelsen – Grand Admiral Thrawn
- Eman Esfandi – Ezra Bridger
- Mary Elizabeth Winstead – Hera Syndulla
- Hayden Christensen – Anakin Skywalker
- Rory McCann – Baylan Skoll
- Ivanna Sakhno – Shin Hati
How many episodes of Ahsoka season 2 are likely?
Nothing is confirmed just yet, but we expect the Ahsoka season 2 episode count to be the same as season 1 – eight episodes. That's also the same as all three seasons of The Mandalorian.
Where to watch Ahsoka season 2
The only place to watch Ahsoka season 2 is Disney Plus, and, for that, you'll need a subscription. The streamer is the home of all the Star Wars shows and movies, so you can get caught up on the rest of the saga, too.
However, season 1 is being released physically – so we can probably expect season 2 to eventually get a physical release, too.
