The Star Wars universe is set to expand even further with the confirmation of Ahsoka Season 2 in development. Disney made the announcement on Tuesday morning while also revealing that Jon Favreau will be directing a new Star Wars movie, The Mandalorian & Grogu.
The news of Ahsoka Season 2 was somewhat buried within the announcement of Favreau’s new movie, with Disney adding near the end of the statement that Dave Filoni, who is also currently developing Ahsoka Season 2, will be leading Lucasfilm’s ongoing feature-development slate.
Speculation about a second season of Ahsoka has been swirling, especially following Filoni’s recent promotion within Lucasfilm. This official confirmation from Disney marks the first acknowledgment of another installment in the Ahsoka series.
Ahsoka Season 2 was last teased during a Vanity Fair profile that revealed Filoni’s promotion as chief creative officer at Lucasfilm. At the time, the profile mentioned that Filoni had been “exploring” a second season, with actress Rosario Dawson adding that Disney hadn’t made any official announcements.
In addition to the news of Ahsoka Season 2, Disney also announced Favreau’s new Star Wars movie, which will be produced by Filoni and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. This marks a major milestone for the Star Wars franchise, as it continues to expand under the creative leadership of Filoni.
Aside from the Ahsoka series and Favreau’s new movie, the Star Wars universe is also busy on the TV front. New shows such as The Acolyte, Skeleton Crew, The Bad Batch Season 3, and Tales of the Jedi Season 2 are slated to premiere in 2024. However, the highly anticipated second season of Andor is not on this year’s schedule, likely due to delays caused by writers’ and actors’ strikes.
The confirmation of Ahsoka Season 2 and the announcement of Favreau’s new movie signal an exciting future for the Star Wars universe, with fans eagerly looking forward to the expansion of the beloved franchise.
