With a packed slate ahead, including the highly-anticipated theatrical return in The Mandalorian & Grogu, the animated expansions Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi, and Maul: Shadow Lord, the continuation of Ahsoka Tano's story adds to the excitement building for the franchise's offerings. Lucasfilm's acclaimed Disney+ series Star Wars: Ahsoka is gearing up for its second season, with a new update highlighting the show among upcoming originals on the platform.
As reported by What's on Disney Plus, the confirmation stems from a recent refresh of the Disney+ homepage, which now features Ahsoka in a section dedicated to titles arriving in 2026. This placement signals an upcoming release window for the series, following production wrapping late in 2025 and offering a relatively efficient post-production timeline helmed by creator Dave Filoni.
While an exact premiere date remains undisclosed, the homepage update provides reassurance amid the evolving landscape of Star Wars content, where Lucasfilm has balanced streaming projects with a renewed emphasis on theatrical releases.
The original season of Star Wars: Ahsoka, which premiered in 2023, stood out as a pivotal entry in the post-Return of the Jedi timeline, seamlessly integrating characters from Star Wars Rebels while introducing new layers to the Force mythology and formidable villains. Its swift renewal in early 2024 underscored its impact, with Filoni returning as writer and executive producer. The production leveraged state-of-the-art virtual sets, similar to those used in The Mandalorian, delivering stunning visuals and immersive storytelling.
Disney and Lucasfilm continue to guard details closely, but this latest indicator affirms the continuation of Ahsoka Tano's journey as a priority for the franchise.
What to Expect in Ahsoka Season 2
Ahsoka Season 1 concluded on a series of dramatic cliffhangers, leaving Ahsoka Tano and her apprentice Sabine Wren stranded on the distant world of Peridea in another galaxy, accompanying the revived Grand Admiral Thrawn's escape. Ezra Bridger successfully returned to the primary galaxy, while the enigmatic Baylan Skoll pursued his own path, drawn to ancient statues suggesting profound, ancient powers tied to the Force.
The upcoming season is expected to explore these unresolved elements, potentially focusing on Ahsoka and Sabine's struggle to return home, the ramifications of Thrawn's resurgence in the New Republic era, and further insights into mythological aspects of the Star Wars universe. Alliances forged in exile and escalating conflicts could drive the narrative forward, preserving the blend of action, mystery, and character growth that characterized the first installment.
Returning to reprise their roles are Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano, Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati, Diana Lee Inosanto as Morgan Elsbeth, David Tennant providing the voice of droid Huyang, Lars Mikkelsen as Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger.
In light of the passing of Ray Stevenson, who memorably portrayed Baylan Skoll in Season 1, the role has been recast with Rory McCann taking over the complex character's journey in the new season.
Fans eager for more can stream the entire first season of Ahsoka exclusively on Disney+, comprising eight episodes that deliver a rich mix of adventure, emotional stakes, and expansive Star Wars storytelling.
