Star Wars fans got their first behind-the-scenes look at Ahsoka Season 2, courtesy of series star and franchise regular Rosario Dawson.
Complete with a thrilling return for Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, Ahsoka Season 2 is slowly pushing towards its Disney+ release. The show will revisit Dawson’s former Jedi master as she hopes to get back to her planet after being stranded on Peridea, located in a completely different galaxy.
Season 2 was officially confirmed for development in January 2024, but no timeframe for production or release came with it. Now, while there are still questions about part of that mystery, at least one answer is public knowledge.
Rosario Dawson's First BTS Ahsoka Season 2 Pic Hits Social Media
Ahsoka Tano actress Rosario Dawson shared the first behind-the-scenes image from the set of Ahsoka Season 2, confirming that production is underway.
While viewers can only see her legs and boots, the Instagram picture includes a shadow of Dawson in full costume, complete with lekku on top of her head. Dawson also included the caption, "& we’re off…to galaxies far, far away….!," confirming her comeback for her iconic Star Wars heroine:
Ahsoka is only one of nine characters who originally appeared in Star Wars Rebels to comprise Season 2's cast, bringing her team back together for the first time since 2023.
Expectations for Ahsoka Season 2's Story & Release
As mentioned before, the early stages of Ahsoka Season 2 will show Dawson's heroine working to get back to her home galaxy to reunite with most of her crew. This comes after Erza Bridger was able to escape his own banishment and return home (see more on star Eman Esfandi's reaction to that moment here).
Rumors have also indicated two new female roles are being cast for Season 2, but it is unclear whether they are characters fans already know from other projects.
Also adding to the mystery of Season 2 is what will happen in 2026's The Mandalorian & Grogu, which could hit theaters before or after Ahsoka's return. That film's impact on the greater Mandoverse is sure to carry over to Ahsoka, adding to the anticipation building for both new projects.
As for when Ahsoka Season 2 may debut, filming and post-production for the series should run for about a year, as Season 1 did. With that in mind, new episodes will likely be ready in Summer 2026, which could set it up for a Disney+ debut following The Mandalorian & Grogu.
