Lucasfilm announced the second season of the Star Wars streaming series ‘Ahsoka’ during D23, releasing footage that showed the protagonist training with a force manifestation of Anakin Skywalker while confronting mounting threats across the galaxy. The footage depicted Ahsoka navigating various planetary environments and working alongside her established network of allies as she faces intensified challenges, with Anakin questioning her commitment to the Jedi path during training sequences.
According to the official description, the upcoming season will follow Ahsoka and her apprentice Sabine Wren as they traverse a dangerous world in an attempt to return home, while their companions Hera, Ezra, Zeb, and Chopper must contend with the powerful Grand Admiral Thrawn and his coalition, who aim to destabilize the New Republic. The season is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ in early 2027.
Rosario Dawson will return in the lead role, with Hayden Christensen reprising his role as Anakin. Rory McCann, known for his work in Game of Thrones, will take on the character of Baylan Skoll, replacing the late Ray Stevenson in the role. The cast also includes returning performers Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Ivanna Sakhno, Diana Lee Inosanto, Eman Esfandi, Evan Whitten, Genevieve O’Reilly, and Lars Mikkelsen.
The series was created by Dave Filoni, who co-developed the character of Ahsoka nearly 20 years ago for the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The first season, which debuted three years ago, performed well in Nielsen’s ratings charts for original streaming content, appearing in the top 10 rankings throughout its initial run.
