Ahsoka Season 2 premieres January 20, 2027 on Disney+<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Confirmation of the release date has emerged from Disney fan event D23, where IGN is reporting live with all the announcements<\/a>. The debut trailer for Season 2 is below.<\/p>\n

Season 2 arrives three-and-a-half years after Ahsoka’s first episodes aired back in August 2023. Rosario Dawson reprises her title role, with Season 2 continuing the story of the infamous Jedi and her friends as they counter an invasion by the villainous Grand Admiral Thrawn and investigate a mysterious neighbouring galaxy.<\/p>\n

The threat of Thrawn had been intended as a focus in the now-scrapped The Mandalorian Season 4, so it’s intriguing to wonder how plans for Ahsoka may have shifted after Lucasfilm decided to make The Mandalorian and Grogu for the big screen instead. Was more of the Thrawn storyline shifted back into Ahsoka?<\/p>\n

Season 2 will also see the return of Hayden Christensen in further scenes as Anakin Skywalker<\/a>, following his Season 1 guest appearance via Star Wars’ extradimensional plane, The World Between Worlds. With more Anakin, and more of The World Between Worlds, fans are wondering how Ahsoka might introduce new kinds of storytelling opportunities in future for the franchise.<\/p>\n

Disney has scaled back its live-action Star Wars show production over the past couple of years, following a splurge on limited series such as Obi-Wan Kenobi and The Book of Boba Fett, both of which landed to mixed reviews. Neither Skeleton Crew nor The Acolyte made much of an impression either, with no second season planned for either series.<\/p>\n

Ahsoka Season 2 will also see Game of Thrones actor <\/a>Rory McCann take on the role of Baylan Skoll<\/a>, following the death of Ray Stevenson. Returning cast members include Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati, Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger, and Lars Mikkelsen as Thrawn.<\/p>\n
