Ahsoka Season 2: Latest updates on release date, cast and plot details
There's no set release date just yet, but cameras are rolling. Production kicked off in Spring 2025, and all signs point to a 2026 premiere. Given that the Mandalorian & Grogu movie is slated for May 2026, Ahsoka will probably arrive later—maybe in the summer or fall—to give both the space they deserve.
At this year's Star Wars Celebration, Dave Filoni confirmed filming was underway, and fans got a sneak peek at some concept art that hinted at a much bolder direction. Ivanna Sakhno, who plays Shin Hati, even teased that the new season is 'bigger and even more in-depth,' which only adds to the hype. Ahsoka Season 2 expected cast
Rosario Dawson is, of course, returning as Ahsoka Tano. She'll be joined by Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren and Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger, who finally made it back home in the Season 1 finale.
Hayden Christensen is also returning as Anakin Skywalker. He'll likely have a more significant presence this time—think more Force ghost moments or World Between Worlds flashbacks. Christensen recently said he feels more 'connected' to the role now, which is exciting for longtime fans.
In a sensitive but thoughtful move, Rory McCann (of Game of Thrones fame) will take over the role of Baylan Skoll following Ray Stevenson's passing. Ivanna Sakhno is also back as Shin Hati, with her character's journey expected to take on more emotional depth.
Lars Mikkelsen returns as the menacing Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead is expected to be back as Hera Syndulla—though that hasn't been officially confirmed. Steve Blum is finally bringing Zeb Orrelios into Ahsoka , after his blink-and-you-missed-it cameo in The Mandalorian . And in a cool addition, Elden Bennett joins as Admiral Ackbar, who seems poised for a strategic clash with Thrawn.
There are also whispers that we might see Ariana Greenblatt again as young Ahsoka, and maybe—just maybe—Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan in a vision or flashback. Nothing's confirmed, but hey, we can dream. Ahsoka Season 2 potential plot
Plot details are being kept under wraps (because, of course), but based on where we left off, it's safe to say we're in for something wild. Ahsoka and Sabine are still stuck on Peridea, while Ezra and Thrawn have made it back to the main Star Wars galaxy. So we're looking at a dual storyline that spans two galaxies.
That concept art from Celebration 2025? It showed Ahsoka and Sabine going up against massive, evil droids—so the action's definitely leveling up.
More intriguingly, Season 2 is expected to dive into some of Star Wars' most mystical territory: the Mortis gods and the World Between Worlds. Baylan was last seen approaching those strange statues on Peridea, which strongly hints that the Force is about to get way weirder—and more powerful. Filoni called it 'a big mystery,' and we're all in on figuring it out.
Thrawn, meanwhile, has teamed up with the Nightsisters and has an army of stormtroopers enhanced by dark magic. His clash with Admiral Ackbar is expected to be one of the season's highlights, bringing a high-stakes military showdown that could shape the future of the New Republic.
And then there's Anakin. With Christensen back, his relationship with Ahsoka is far from over. Whether through visions, the Force, or the World Between Worlds, his influence will likely shape Ahsoka's choices moving forward.

James Cameron Teases Unexpected Animated Avatar Project
James Cameron wants to make an animated project. Cameron directed both films in the live-action Avatar franchise, 2009's Avatar and 2022's Avatar: The Way of Water, thus far. The third movie, Avatar: Fire and Ash, is also directed by Cameron and arrives in United States theaters this coming December. What did James Cameron say about an animated Avatar project? Speaking with Empire Magazine, Cameron confirmed that he's spoken to Disney, which owns 20th Century Studios, about potentially doing an Avatar animated project. He explained, 'I said, 'Look, I want to do an animated anthology series that's essentially in the world, but stories that you wouldn't have expected from that world.' There might even be an animated feature in there – it might be a feature for streaming, or a theatrical feature. A good early example is The Animatrix, where they went afield in the Matrix world. These are all great examples for how we can add texture and baroque detail to the world of Avatar.' Cameron further noted that these animated stories could explore 'backstory on characters and tangential stuff that happened off-camera within the movies. Who first landed on Pandora? The first expedition. You could go anywhere you want.' The project, however, hasn't yet materialized into anything. 'We haven't done much with that yet,' Cameron said. 'We're still gathering our stories and that sort of thing, and I've got to find the boutique filmmakers, the animators, that want to do it.' In the meantime, Avatar: Fire and Ash arrives on December 19, 2025. It stars Sam Worthington as Jake Sully, Zoe Saldaña as Neytiri, Sigourney Weaver as Kiri, Stephen Lang as Colonel Miles Quaritch, Giovanni Ribisi as Parker Selfridge, Kate Winslet as Ronal, Cliff Curtis as Tonowari, Joel David Moore as Dr. Norm Spellman, Edi Falco as General Frances Ardmore, and more.
