Heaven Help Us, the ‘Crossed' Movie Is Really Happening
Chris Sheridan talks Resident Alien's cancellation. Hayden Christensen is still filming the second season of Ahsoka. And could Leatherface survive his own love interest in the next Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Future events such as these will affect you in the future. Morning Spoilers, ho! THR reports Devin Druid and Ash Santos will star in the upcoming film adaptation of Garth Ennis's Crossed as Stan and Cindy, 'the leaders of a group of strangers thrown together as they attempt to escape northward' from the infected. The film's supporting cast includes Ethan Jones Romero as Thomas; Kyla Hee as Kelly; Chido Nwokocha as Kitrick; Spenser Granese as Brett; Bob Morley as Randall; Ana Mulvoy Ten as Sheena; Steven Hack as Geoff; Angie Campbell as Amy; Peter Falls as Joel; and newcomer Lorenzo Ross as Patrick. Additionally, Owen Harn will lead the infected 'Crossed' as the infamous Horsecock, opposite Fedor Steer as Face and Kelvin Adekunle as Stump. According to Fangoria, David Yarovesky (Brightburn) is attached to write and direct He Never Dies, a horror film about an undying man who returns 'bigger,' 'stronger,' and 'less human' each time he's killed, at Gary Dauberman's production company, Coin Operated. Speaking at Neon's The Next Wave of Horror panel at San Diego Comic-Con (via Bloody-Disgusting), Osgood Perkins discussed his take on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise he's 'certainly in the conversation' to direct the next installment of. My producing partners and I, we went down a path with Texas Chainsaw. To be honest with you, I don't know what's happening with it, but we were certainly in the conversation for it. What's lovely about these people who own the rights — it's the original writer [Kim Henkel] — is that they really care about Leatherface. There's a fondness about his character and the idea that he saw bad things when he was younger, and because he is neurodivergent, he had his difficulties processing, and that's when turned him into a quote 'monster.' It goes back to Frankenstein or wherever you want to be with monsters that are usually the misunderstood, sensitive type. I think your idea is beautiful. I don't see any reason why not. The rights holders provided us with a guide book that they had put together. 'These are the things that we think are important, these are the things we'd love to see, these are the things we don't like,' so on and so forth. One of the things was 'Leatherface should never have a love interest.' My partners and I were like, 'Well, now you've said it!' Relatedly, AvPGalaxy has a new poster for Predator: Badlands from San Diego Comic Con this past weekend. Cineverse has also released a teaser for its new, unrated remake of Silent Night, Deadly Night starring Rohan Campbell as Billy. A missing woman mysteriously reappears, claiming she's being hunted by a 'dark force that twists fear into reality' in the trailer for We're Not Safe Here, coming to VOD this August 22. According to an update from Spacecon San Antonio's Facebook page (via Screen Rant), Hayden Christensen is unable to make the event this year as the actor is 'still filming the next season of Ahsoka.' Speaking with Screen Rant, Resident Alien showrunner Chris Sheridan admitted he 'sort of saw' the series' cancellation 'coming a long time ago' and made sure season four would 'finish telling the story.' It wasn't brand new news for us. We sort of saw it coming a long time ago. I mean, a year ago, when we started the season, I was pretty sure that this is how it would go down. So, in trying to figure out what we were doing creatively for season four, I made a decision, back then, to finish telling the story. I didn't want to end up in a situation where we had cliffhangers and it was left untold and then we got canceled after that. So, we sort of took it upon ourselves to end it our own way. Finally, Apple TV+ has released a teaser for Pluribus, a mysterious new sci-fi series from Vince Gilligan starring Rhea Seehorn, Carlos Manuel Vesga, Karolina Wydra, Miriam Shor, and Samba Schutte.

Ahsoka Season 2: Latest updates on release date, cast and plot details
Hey, Star Wars fans! If you're as pumped as we are about Ahsoka Season 2, you're probably dying to know what's next for our favorite Togruta warrior. After that wild Season 1 finale, the Disney+ show has us all buzzing with questions. When's it dropping? Who's coming back? And what's the deal with those giant statues on Peridea? We've scoured the latest news from Star Wars Celebration 2025 and beyond to bring you the juiciest updates on release date, cast, and plot. Let's dive into the galaxy far, far away! When is Ahsoka Season 2 coming out? 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.

First Look at Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger in AHSOKA Season 2 — GeekTyrant
Lucasfilm has shared a first look photo at Eman Esfandi returning to the role of Ezra Bridger in Ahsoka Season 2, and he looks good! Esfandi made his debut as the live-action Ezra Bridger in 2023's Ahsoka , and near the end of the show, he was finally found on the planet Peridea after he disappeared at the end of Star Wars Rebels . In the new image was shared on and it features a clean-shaven Ezra sitting and smiling at something out of shot. Season 2 of Ahsoka only recently kicked off filming, so we've got a long way to go before we see anything from the next season of the series, but I'm looking forward to seeing how this story continues. Fans got their first real tease of what's to come during Star Wars Celebration 2025, where Filoni unveiled concept art and confirmed the return of several key characters: Sabine, Ezra, Hera, and Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker. While story details are still under wraps, Season 2 is expected to pick up where things left off, particularly with the mysterious Baylan Skoll, last seen standing atop a Mortis statue, hinting at deeper Force mythology pulled from The Clone Wars . There's no release date yet, but as production continues, we're keeping our eyes peeled for more sneak peeks and any other news that breaks.

Comic-Con Just Gave Us Our First Look at ‘Ahsoka' Season 2
The first season of Ahsoka was about the search for Ezra Bridger. So it's fitting that the very first thing we see from the second season of the show is that character. At the Lucasfilm Pavilion at San Diego Comic-Con, amid a slew of fanfare for the history of Star Wars animation, an image sits alone, with a big smile on its face. It's Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger, with a new costume that confirms his look in season two. When last we saw Ezra on Ahsoka, he had miraculously returned from Peridea, the place he blasted to decades later as a way to defeat Grand Admiral Thrawn (at the end of Star Wars Rebels). Returning back to the proper Star Wars galaxy, we saw him reunite with his mother figure, Hera Syndulla, who was as shocked as anyone to have the apprentice of her long-lost loved one back. That, of course, left a lot of questions going into season two. And while this photo doesn't answer many of them, it does answer one. Of course Ezra was going to join up with Hera and the Rebellion. The show he was introduced on, after all, was called Star Wars Rebels. He helped create the group that ended up ultimately defeating Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine, at least for a bit. Now we'll get to see how he can help in defeating Grand Admiral Thrawn once and for all. All that from this one still image! Imagine what will happen when we get a first trailer for Ahsoka season two, which is still in production, so it probably won't be out until late 2026. Hopefully, that means we'll get that first glimpse sometime in the next year. For now though, let's just cross our fingers that the second season will be worth the long, long wait. For more on Ahsoka, head over to this link. And keep it locked to io9 for all things San Diego Comic-Con 2025. Want more io9 news?
