Star Wars: Ahsoka season 2 received an update from the rumor mill that could give fans a hint at when the series will premiere on Disney Plus.
Ahsoka concluded its first season with more than a few lingering storylines. However, the first season received high viewership for Disney Plus and generally positive reviews, so a second season seemed all but guaranteed. Lucasfilm hasn’t officially announced the show’s return. However, the company confirmed series creator Dave Filoni was developing Ahsoka season 2 when it announced The Mandalorian and Grogu movie.

Andor Season 2 Release Date and Plot Details Finally Surface
The Andor season 2 release date on Disney Plus was announced, along with details on how the story will lead into Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Reputable scooper Daniel Richtman has now provided details on when Lucasfilm plans to start shooting Ahsoka season 2. According to Richtman, filming for Ahsoka season 2 starts in the United Kingdom in April 2025. This lines up with Sabine Wren actress Natasha Liu Bordizzo’s comments about shooting Ahsoka season 2 when The Mandalorian and Grogu filming ends, scheduled to conclude by the end of 2024.
The Direct speculates that this production schedule could mean Ahsoka season 2 will premiere by summer 2026. The online publication bases this theory on the fact that the first season started filming in May 2022 and finished in October of the same year. Ahsoka premiered on Disney Plus in August 2023, 15 months after production began. Of course, there’s no guarantee that Ahsoka season 2 will have a similar gap between production and release, and Richman’s report is unconfirmed by official sources. So, fans should take this speculation with a grain of salt.
Of course, it’s unclear what direction Ahsoka season 2 will take. While the first season concluded with unanswered questions–including what will happen to Baylan Skoll after Ray Stevenson’s death–some of these mysteries could be resolved in the upcoming Star Wars movie directed by Filoni. This untitled Star Wars feature film is touted as the culmination of the storylines explored in the Disney Plus shows The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and Skeleton Crew.
Filoni’s Star Wars movie is expected to focus on the fight against Grand Admiral Thrawn. The iconic Star Wars villain disappeared at the end of the Star Wars Rebels finale, but the search for him (and Ezra Bridger) was the central storyline of Ahsoka season 1. Both characters were found alive, with Thrawn viewed as the best candidate to unite and lead the fractured remnants of the Galactic Empire. Ahsoka season 1 paved the way for a showdown between fan-favorite Star Wars heroes and Thrawn. Fans must wait to see how Filoni’s movie and Ahsoka season 2 deal with the consequences.
Star Wars: Ahsoka season 1 is available on Disney Plus.
Rosario Dawson stars as Ahsoka Tano in this Disney Plus Star Wars series that brings some of the franchise’s most beloved characters from the animated world into live-action. The series, created by Dave Filoni, also stars Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera Syndulla, and the late Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll.
