Star Wars fans have a thrilling new update on when Ahsoka Season 2 may begin filming thanks to comments from one of its leading stars.
January 2024 saw Ahsoka renewed for a second season after Rosario Dawson kicked off her long-awaited solo series in August 2023. Lucasfilm CEO Dave Filoni is confirmed to return after creating the streaming hit for the popular character he first introduced in 2008's Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Last season ended with Ahsoka and several other characters stuck on Peridea, a planet located in an even further away galaxy than the core galaxy far, far away. But with so much currently in development under Disney and Lucasfilm, the question of when these new episodes could debut is a bit of a mystery.
New Ahsoka Season 2 Filming Update
Speaking in a panel at Dragon Con 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia, Ahsoka star Natasha Liu Bordizzo (the actress behind Sabine Wren) gave an update on Season 2.
According to Bordizzo, filming for Ahsoka Season 2 will commence once production ends for The Mandalorian and Grogu. The Pedro Pascal-led blockbuster is the next theatrical release for Lucasfilm, and it will hit theaters on May 22, 2026.
As announced at the 2024 D23 Expo on August 10, the film began shooting a short time before that event, meaning it is still early in that film's production schedule.
Considering how little filming has been completed for The Mandalorian and Grogu, the movie's production will most likely run until somewhere around the end of 2024. Seeing as Dave Filoni is deeply involved with both projects, he should have plenty on his plate to complete before moving into Ahsoka Season 2.
Additionally, Bordizzo mentioned she would not be able to attend Dragon Con 2025 because it will conflict with filming Ahsoka Season 2.
Since Dragon Con takes place in late August, that means Ahsoka Season 2 filming will be happening sometime in summer 2025, and potentially run into early fall.

When Will Ahsoka Season 2 Release on Disney+?
As of writing, only Andor Season 2 is scheduled to be released in 2025 for the Star Wars brand. If filming for Ahsoka finishes by the end of the summer, chances are good that Lucasfilm will make this series release sometime in 2026.
Fans may not get many more details on this new season for some time with The Mandalorian and Grogu still deep in production.
However, considering the epic cliffhanger on which Season 1 ended, anticipation is high to see this story continue.
Ahsoka Season 1 is streaming on Disney+.
