Ahsoka Star Hints at Season 2 Filming Start

A Season 2 of Star Wars: Ahsoka has been confirmed by Disney. However, due to the busy schedule of Star Wars projects at Lucasfilm, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, the show’s star, recently hinted that production on the new season is almost a year away. At this rate, we likely shouldn’t expect the season to premiere until 2026, provided there are no further complications in production. Dave Filoni is developing the new season and is also set to direct a movie that will serve as a crossover between all series set during The New Republic. He has previously stated that a Season 2 of Ahsoka is his top priority over the movie.

During a DragonCon appearance, Bordizzo mentioned, as reported by @mando3updates on Twitter, that production won’t begin until Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian & Grogu finishes filming. This means a potential pre-summer 2024 start for Ahsoka Season 2. Though Favreau might be directing the crossover movie, Filoni has confirmed his involvement in the project as well. Consequently, Filoni might not finish writing Season 2 of Ahsoka until sometime next year. Fortunately, Filoni has stated that he’s already started working on the second season.

“Because I’ve been writing [Ahsoka Season 2], things have clicked, and I have a much better idea about where things are going to go,” Filoni explained to the Happy Sad Confused podcast earlier this year. “I will say, I have an opening I really like quite a bit. I’m very excited about it for that picture. I’m excited about the potential of just doing it … Right now, my focus is clearly on [Ahsoka] as well as the rest of the galaxy and how it’s spinning.”

Since the season finale of Ahsoka, which left narrative threads hanging concerning Bordizzo’s Sabine Wren, Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Ezra Bridger, fans have been curious about what’s next for these characters. With the possibility of Season 2 moving forward by the summer of 2024, it seems likely that these questions will be addressed in the new season rather than in Filoni’s upcoming The New Republic film.

Stay tuned for updates on Season 2 of Star Wars: Ahsoka.
