It has been a year since Ahsoka first premiered, with no updates on a second season — that is until now, as Season 2 finally appears to be on the horizon.

When Ahsoka, the Star Wars spinoff 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 recent Star Wars panel at Dragon Con, Natasha Liu Bordizzo teased Ahsoka Season 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 reported that production for Season 2 is set to begin in the summer of next year.

Ahsoka Tano In Ahsoka

Ahsoka came out in August 2023 and quickly became a major hit among Star Wars fans. After the first season's success, many hoped that a second season would be announced right away. However, as months passed without any news or updates 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 like Ahsoka typically 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 of Ahsoka Season 2. Star Wars has seen some slow progress lately, possibly influenced by last year’s writers' and actors' strikes. This disruption likely delayed projects across the board, and Ahsoka is no exception. On top of that, the show's creator and showrunner, Dave Filoni, is juggling multiple Star Wars projects. He is co-writing the upcoming Mandalorian and Grogu movie, while also taking on the role of writer and director for his own Star Wars movie. With such a heavy workload, Filoni's involvement could further delay the next season, potentially pushing the premiere date even further. Season 1 of Ahsoka ended 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 of Ahsoka finally arrives. Yet, this wait could ultimately result in a season that exceeds expectations, making the delay worthwhile.

Season 1 of Ahsoka is streaming on Disney Plus.
