Ahsoka season 2 release date speculation, cast, story, and everything else you need to know about the Star Wars show
Everything you need to know about Ahsoka season 2

Ahsoka season 2 has started filming, so the highly anticipated continuation of the Star Wars show is on the way. Creator Dave Filoni is the sole writer on the next season, and he's taking some big swings as per usual.
There are plenty of dangling threads, such as the fate of Baylan Skoll and Thrawn's encroaching battalion. On the latter, we've leaned he'll be up against Admiral Ackbar for season 2, which should be epic. As ever, there are plenty of strong fan predictions for the new season. We're keeping this page up to date with on everything from the rogue force-user, so you'll get everything you need to see about the return of Snips at a glance.
You'll find estimated release windows for the Ahsoka season 2 trailer, when the episodes might arrive, and more. If you're looking for a history lesson, we can provide that as well. Have a look at our guides to The Clone Wars in order and our streamlined list of what to watch before Ahsoka.
Ahsoka season 2 release date speculation
Ahsoka season 2 doesn't yet have a release date. It's now in production, as Eman Esfandi revealed filming started in late March 2025. Hopes of a release window during Star Wars Celebration were dashed, placing the likely time-frame at 2026.
This tracks with prior updates, where we learned the production moved from Los Angeles to the UK (via IndieWire). Dave Filoni gave an update on the writing process in December 2024.
"I'm so well into that as well… I've been writing it, and I'm still the single writer on it, and so I've been enjoying doing that, but it's a challenge, of course, and working some of these arcs through has been a challenge and making sure it's all going to come out in a way that I think is exciting for fans," he said.
"I know that they're interested in where some of the things I developed in season 1. I'm pretty happy with it… Love working with Rosario [Dawson], so I can't wait to get back to that."

Ahsoka season 2 plot theories
Ahsoka ended with Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren stranded in Peridea, while Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ezra Bridger both made 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.
So far, not much is known about the Ahsoka season 2 plot. Admiral Ackbar and Thrawn will battle in some way, shape or form, as announced by Dave Filoni during Star Wars Celebration 2025. Confirmation of Christensen's return means we should see more of Anakin, and perhaps more of Vader as well.
Filoni shared the first piece of concept art back in early 2024, providing some more clues. Baylan Skoll was 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). It would seem Baylan is seeking a great power, and the first piece of concept art for the new season 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? Time will tell, but it looks likely – and it seems Ahsoka and Sabine are on his trail.
Ahsoka season 2 trailer: when might we get one?
There's no trailer for Ahsoka season 2 just yet, since we're still a long way away from the new episodes releasing. We can expect a teaser a few months before release – but until then, we'll just have to be patient.
Ahsoka season 2 cast: who might be returning?
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 Tennent, remain unconfirmed at present.
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
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.
That's a wrap on Ahsoka season 2. For more, check out our guide to all the upcoming Star Wars movies and TV shows.
