It’s been over a year since the Ahsoka series was airing on Disney+ and Lucasfilm have confirmed a second season of the series is in the works. There’s been very little updates in regard to the second season, but today I’m here to update readers as to when cameras might start rolling.
Recently a star of Ahsoka, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, who plays Sabine Wren, mentioned that filming on the series would already be underway come August 2025. Some fans took this to mean that filming would begin in August, but that’s not the case and not what Bordizzo said, it’s just that the second season will already be filming by August of next year.
Over the past couple of months I’ve heard the same window for the start of filming on the second season of Ahsoka repeatedly. I planned to put out this information last week, but procrastination got the better of me and that’s after weeks of not feeling motivated to share this information. Anyway, April is the month I’ve heard the most, May came up once or twice, but April has been the most frequent month I’ve been hearing – either way it’s the Spring. Granted things could change and the window to begin filming change as the months go by, but at least as of now, and has been for a couple of months, the current plan is to begin filming sometime in April or May of next year and filming would likely run until around August or September. Production Weekly can be hit or miss, but they in the latter stages of last week shared a May start which aligns with the information I had been hearing for weeks/months. The second season of the Disney+ series will then likely debut on the streaming service in 2026.
The next Star Wars series, Skeleton Crew, is due to release on Disney+ on December 3rd, 2024 and the second and final season of Andor is due to release next year, likely within the first six months. Star Wars fans will have at least one live-action series a year for the next couple of years and I’m sure there’ll be new animated projects scattered amongst those series also.
Dave Filoni is currently still writing the second season of Ahsoka and also has his hands full with the next theatrical Star Wars movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu, which he wrote with The Mandalorian creator, Jon Favreau, who is directing the flick. The Mandalorian and Grogu is due to release in theatres on May 22nd, 2026.
The Mandalorian and Grogu is set to be the first Star Wars theatrical release since 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The Rise of Skywalker is set to get a follow up in the Daisy Ridley led Star Wars: New Jedi Order (working title) which is expected to release in December 2026. Over the past few weeks there’s been reports that production on New Jedi Order has been delayed until next year and this is true, but this not anything new to write home about. Production on New Jedi Order was initially slated to begin this year, but as I reported exclusively back in June, the film’s production was delayed into 2025 as Lucasfilm wanted to perfect the script before moving forward with filming. Daisy Ridley herself has even stated that shooting is expected to begin next year.
