It has been a year sinceAhsokafirst premiered, with no updates on a second season — that is until now, as Season 2 finally appears to be on the horizon.
WhenAhsoka, theStar Warsspinoff series, premiered, it became an instant hit. Fans have been eagerly anticipating Season 2, but the prolonged silence left many disappointed and wondering if it would ever happen. Now, it seems like it is finally in the works.
During a recentStar Warspanel at Dragon Con, Natasha Liu Bordizzo teasedAhsokaSeason 2.According to Reddit user u/Lopotato25, Bordizzo, who plays Mandalorian warrior Sabine Wren, hinted that she will not be attending next year’s convention due to being busy filming the new season. Additionally,@cosmic_marvel reportedthat production for Season 2 is set to begin in the summer of next year.
Ahsokacame outin August 2023 and quickly became a major hit amongStar Warsfans. After the first season’s success, many hoped that a second season would be announced right away. However, as months passed without any news orupdates regarding the show’s future, fans began to worry. Some even questioned whether Season 2 would ever happen, leading to growing concern over the series’ fate. Now, with recent confirmations that a second season is indeed in the works, fans can breathe a sigh of relief. However, new concerns have emerged regarding the timeline of its release. It was revealed that filming for Season 2 is not set to begin until the summer of 2025. Given the extensive production schedules that large-scale shows likeAhsokatypically require, this means that Season 2 may not be released until 2026. Season 1 finished filming in October 2022 and premiered in August 2023, meaning there was nearly a year-long gap between the end of production and its release. If Season 2 follows a similar schedule, fans may have to wait until early 2026 to finally get it.
However, there are additional factors that could impact the production ofAhsokaSeason 2.Star Warshas seen some slow progress lately, possibly influenced by last year’s writers' and actors' strikes. This disruption likely delayed projects across the board, andAhsokais no exception. On top of that, the show’s creator and showrunner, Dave Filoni, isjuggling multipleStar Warsprojects. He is co-writing the upcomingMandalorian and Grogumovie, while also taking on the role of writer and director for his ownStar Warsmovie. With such a heavy workload, Filoni’s involvement could further delay the next season, potentially pushing the premiere date even further. Season 1 ofAhsokaended on a major cliffhanger, which only fueled fan anticipation for a quick follow-up. But with a two-year gap — or potentially more — between seasons, some are concerned that fan interest might begin to wane over time. Despite these worries, there is a silver lining: the extended production period allows for higher-quality work, giving the creative team enough time to refine the story and deliver a more polished final product. In the end, while the news of another season is exciting, fans will need to brace themselves for a long wait before the next season ofAhsokafinally arrives. Yet, this wait could ultimately result in a season that exceeds expectations, making the delay worthwhile.
