Disney revealed the first trailer and a January 20, 2027 release date for Star Wars: Ahsoka Season 2 during the D23 fan event.
Disney and Lucasfilm have officially given fans a first look at the upcoming second season of Star Wars: Ahsoka during the D23 fan event in Anaheim. According to Polygon's reporting by Sam Nelson, the live action series will officially return to Disney Plus on January 20, 2027.
It has been three years since the premiere of the first season, which followed the former Jedi Ahsoka Tano and her apprentice Sabine Wren as they tracked down Ezra Bridger and Grand Admiral Thrawn across galaxies. While season one wrapped up with Thrawn returning to threaten the New Republic, Ahsoka and Sabine found themselves stranded on the distant planet Peridia. Season two will lean heavily into the cosmic side of the Star Wars universe, particularly focusing on ancient Force mysteries and the fallout from Baylan Skoll's quest involving the statues of the Mortis gods. Following the passing of Ray Stevenson, the role of Baylan Skoll will now be played by Rory McCann.
This upcoming season arrives at an interesting crossroads for the broader Star Wars franchise. While animated projects have been winning praise from the community, recent live action cinematic outings have faced a tougher reception from audiences and critics alike. With Ahsoka season two and the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter on the horizon for 2027, Lucasfilm has a major opportunity to regain momentum and prove what players and viewers want from high budget transmedia storytelling moving forward.
