Hey, Star Wars fans! If you’re as pumped as we are about Ahsoka Season 2, you’re probably dying to know what’s next for our favorite Togruta warrior. After that wild Season 1 finale, the Disney+ show has us all buzzing with questions. When’s it dropping? Who’s coming back? And what’s the deal with those giant statues on Peridea? We’ve scoured the latest news from Star Wars Celebration 2025 and beyond to bring you the juiciest updates on release date, cast, and plot. Let’s dive into the galaxy far, far away!
When is Ahsoka Season 2 coming out?
There’s no set release date just yet, but cameras are rolling. Production kicked off in Spring 2025, and all signs point to a 2026 premiere. Given that the Mandalorian & Grogu movie is slated for May 2026, Ahsoka will probably arrive later—maybe in the summer or fall—to give both the space they deserve.
At this year’s Star Wars Celebration, Dave Filoni confirmed filming was underway, and fans got a sneak peek at some concept art that hinted at a much bolder direction. Ivanna Sakhno, who plays Shin Hati, even teased that the new season is “bigger and even more in-depth,” which only adds to the hype.
Ahsoka Season 2 expected cast
Rosario Dawson is, of course, returning as Ahsoka Tano. She’ll be joined by Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren and Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger, who finally made it back home in the Season 1 finale.
Hayden Christensen is also returning as Anakin Skywalker. He’ll likely have a more significant presence this time—think more Force ghost moments or World Between Worlds flashbacks. Christensen recently said he feels more “connected” to the role now, which is exciting for longtime fans.
In a sensitive but thoughtful move, Rory McCann (of Game of Thrones fame) will take over the role of Baylan Skoll following Ray Stevenson’s passing. Ivanna Sakhno is also back as Shin Hati, with her character’s journey expected to take on more emotional depth.
Lars Mikkelsen returns as the menacing Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead is expected to be back as Hera Syndulla—though that hasn’t been officially confirmed. Steve Blum is finally bringing Zeb Orrelios into Ahsoka, after his blink-and-you-missed-it cameo in The Mandalorian. And in a cool addition, Elden Bennett joins as Admiral Ackbar, who seems poised for a strategic clash with Thrawn.
There are also whispers that we might see Ariana Greenblatt again as young Ahsoka, and maybe—just maybe—Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan in a vision or flashback. Nothing’s confirmed, but hey, we can dream.
Ahsoka Season 2 potential plot
Plot details are being kept under wraps (because, of course), but based on where we left off, it’s safe to say we’re in for something wild. Ahsoka and Sabine are still stuck on Peridea, while Ezra and Thrawn have made it back to the main Star Wars galaxy. So we’re looking at a dual storyline that spans two galaxies.
That concept art from Celebration 2025? It showed Ahsoka and Sabine going up against massive, evil droids—so the action’s definitely leveling up.
More intriguingly, Season 2 is expected to dive into some of Star Wars’ most mystical territory: the Mortis gods and the World Between Worlds. Baylan was last seen approaching those strange statues on Peridea, which strongly hints that the Force is about to get way weirder—and more powerful. Filoni called it “a big mystery,” and we’re all in on figuring it out.
Thrawn, meanwhile, has teamed up with the Nightsisters and has an army of stormtroopers enhanced by dark magic. His clash with Admiral Ackbar is expected to be one of the season’s highlights, bringing a high-stakes military showdown that could shape the future of the New Republic.
And then there’s Anakin. With Christensen back, his relationship with Ahsoka is far from over. Whether through visions, the Force, or the World Between Worlds, his influence will likely shape Ahsoka’s choices moving forward.
