Disney Drops Ahsoka Season 2 from 2026 Schedule, Sparking Fan Outrage

The highly anticipated second season of the Star Wars series may be facing an unexpected delay. During Disney's fourth-quarter earnings presentation, the show was conspicuously missing from the company's 2026 content lineup, leaving devoted viewers concerned about a potential pushback to 2027.

Production Timeline Raises Questions

While no official premiere date had been announced, industry watchers expected the new episodes to arrive sometime next year following the completion of filming in September 2025. The original season debuted in August 2023, making the wait particularly lengthy for eager fans.

Social media platforms have been flooded with disappointed reactions from the show's fanbase, with many expressing frustration over what they perceive as disrespectful treatment given the extended waiting period.

Cast and Story Details

Rosario Dawson returns as the titular former Jedi apprentice of Anakin Skywalker, joined by an ensemble cast featuring Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Mandalorian fighter Sabine Wren, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as New Republic General Hera Syndulla, and Hayden Christensen reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker.

A notable casting change involves Game of Thrones actor Rory McCann stepping into the role of former Jedi Baylan Skoll, replacing the late Ray Stevenson who passed away after filming the first season.

What to Expect from the New Episodes

The previous season concluded with a dramatic cliffhanger, and reports suggest the upcoming episodes won't feature a significant time jump. Viewers can expect to immediately continue following the protagonists who remain trapped on Peridea after the escape of Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Beyond this setup, specific plot points remain closely guarded secrets. The absence from Disney's official schedule has only added to the mystery surrounding when audiences will finally get answers to the first season's unresolved storylines.
