When Will Ahsoka Season 2 Release?

It will most likely come out in late 2026

Although it has begun filming, Ahsoka season 2 likely won't be released until late 2026. The filming process will take several months, followed by a lengthy post-production, and the other Star Wars movies and TV shows will further complicate things. The Mandalorian and Grogu will release on May 22, 2026, so releasing Ahsoka season 2 later in the year would avoid any potential conflict.

Filoni will also be helping Jon Favreau with The Mandalorian and Grogu as an executive producer, on top of other Star Wars projects he must oversee. In logistical , this will make Ahsoka season 2 difficult to manage, but not impossible. It may, however, result in further delays, so Star Wars viewers shouldn't expect to see the show any sooner than late 2026.
