Season 2 of Dave Filoni‘s hit Star Wars series Ahsoka officially has a return date — and fans finally have their first look at what’s ahead.
During D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Disney and Lucasfilm unveiled the first teaser for the highly anticipated second season and announced that Ahsoka will return to Disney+. The new footage offers a glimpse at Ahsoka Tano’s (Rosario Dawson) next chapter as she and Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) remain stranded on Peridea while Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) threatens the New Republic.
The teaser also previews the return of Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker and offers a first look at Rory McCann taking over the role of Baylan Skoll following the death of Ray Stevenson.
With the premiere date now set and the first footage revealed, here’s everything we know so far about Star Wars: Ahsoka Season 2.
When will Ahsoka Season 2 premiere?
Season 2 will arrive on Disney+ on January 20, 2027.
Who is Ahsoka?
Ahsoka Tano is a former Jedi Padawan who was trained by Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) during the Clone Wars. Originally introduced in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, she became a skilled student and warrior, but left the Jedi Order over a loss of faith and betrayal by the Council. During this time, she has a falling out with her mentor, Anakin.
She makes the jump to live action in The Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 5, titled “Chapter 13: The Jedi.” In the episode, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) travels to the planet of Corvus, where he meets Ahsoka. She helps him understand more about Grogu’s past and powers.
How did Ahsoka Season 1 end?
In the Season 1 finale, “The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord,” Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) succeeds in escaping the ancient galaxy of Peridea and leaves Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) behind, stranding them in another galaxy. Thrawn jumps to hyperspace toward Dathomir, bringing with him coffins that probably contain the remains of the Nightsisters (a sect of ancient witches), setting up his possible return to power.
Ahsoka and Sabine accept their situation, deciding to stay behind while Thrawn escapes back to their home galaxy. The final scene shows Ahsoka looking off into the horizon, revealing Anakin Skywalker’s Force ghost nearby.

Who stars in Ahsoka?
Rosario Dawson stars as Ahsoka Tano, with Natasha Liu Bordizzo as her protégé, Sabine Wren. Their loyal droid companion, Huyang, is voiced by David Tennant, while Eman Esfandi portrays Ezra Bridger, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead takes on the role of Hera Syndulla.
Lars Mikkelsen brings Grand Admiral Thrawn to life, with Rory McCann stepping into the role of Baylan Skoll following the late Ray Stevenson, and Ivanna Sakhno portraying his apprentice, Shin Hati.
Hayden Christensen also returns as Anakin Skywalker, appearing both in flashbacks and as a guiding Force ghost.
As always, it’s such an honor to play Anakin Skywalker,” Christensen told the D23 crowd. “Anakin continues to advise Ahsoka; he challenges her and pushes her to answer the most important question in her life – are you or are you not a Jedi?”
