Ahsoka Season 2: Everything we know about the Star Wars series
Disney+Following the finale of Ahsoka in 2023, Star Wars fans are likely curious about whether or not there’ll be a Season 2 – so, here’s what we know.
Serving as a continuation of the Star Wars Rebels cartoon – and spinning off from live-action series The Mandalorian – Ahsoka revolves around the titular Jedi, and her adventures with friends Sabine, Hera, and Ezra.
The storyline found the heroes trying to locate Ezra, who was missing and presumed dead, as well as going toe-to-toe with the similarly missing and presumed dead Grand Admiral Thrawn.
The first season ended in 2023, but is that the last we’ll see of the characters? Perhaps not! Read on for more details surrounding Ahsoka Season 2.
Will there be an Ahsoka Season 2?
Ahsoka Season 2 is in the works, and creator Dave Filoni has confirmed he’s currently writing new episodes.
“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 told Extra TV.
“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.”
This comes after news of Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, with the bottom of the statement announcing “The Mandalorian & Grogu will lead Lucasfilm’s ongoing feature-development slate, including films helmed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold, and Dave Filoni, who is also currently developing Ahsoka Season 2, among those in the works.”
What will Season 2 be about?
While no plot has been released for Ahsoka Season 2 (since the scripts aren’t even finished yet), we can take a guess as to what’s coming based on where Season 1 ended.
Episode 8 of Season 1 ended with Thrawn returning from exile to the main Star Wars galaxy, setting him up as the main villain for forthcoming movies and shows set in this era. The climax also saw Ezra reunited with Hera in emotional fashion, paving the way for them to collaborate in future shows.
But more dramatic was the fact that the finale left Ahsoka and Sabine stranded on the planet Peridea in this new galaxy, as well as their foes Baylan and Shin.
So while Season 2 might revolve around them trying to return, it could also be the start of new adventures in this entirely new location. Which is an exciting prospect for Star Wars fans.
In newly released concept art for Season 2, Ahsoka and Sabine can be seen standing on the finger of the mountain statue, so it’s safe to say that the season will probably start with the pair’s journey off the new world.
Who’s in the Ahsoka Season 2 cast?
When asked about the prospect of Ahsoka Season 2, Rosario Dawson – who plays the title character – says she is keen to return.
“I’m ready. I’m excited. I’m willing,” the actor told Empire. “I got my ice-packs ready to go for Season 2 and beyond. I would not be mad at that.”
When speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Dawson previously said: “I really, really hope the fans love it. That means A) we get to do more and B) we’ve honored the legacy of this character and this journey, and I know that’s what we intended to do.”
As for the rest of the cast, nobody’s been confirmed. One person who will be missing, however, is Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll, who died in 2023.
