Ahsoka Season 2 Filming Date Revealed & The Acolyte’s Future
Ahsoka Season 2 begins filming summer 2025, with a 2026 release, while fans rally for The Acolyte Season 2 after Disney cancels the series. Get the latest updates!
Sep 2, 2024
Dragon Con panels reveal that Ahsoka's Season 2 filming won’t begin until summer 2025, leaving fans puzzled by the long gap since Season 1, and Manny Jacinto hopes a second season of The Acolyte is still possible.
Why It Matters: The delay in Ahsoka production is surprising, especially given the show's popularity, but with Dave Filoni's directing schedule, the delay appears necessary. Fans must wait until summer 2026 for the new season, a long hiatus since its 2023 debut.
What’s Next:
Filming Timeline: Production starts after The Mandalorian & Grogu movie wraps at the end of 2024.
Plot Speculations: Season 2 could address unresolved cliffhangers, including the fates of key characters like Baylan Skoll and Sabine, but there is also a possibility of a crossover with The Mandalorian & Grogu.
The Acolyte’s Future: Despite Disney and Lucasfilm canceling The Acolyte after one season, fans and cast members, like Manny Jacinto, are pushing for a revival. Jacinto, who played the breakout character Qimir, expressed his commitment to a second season at Dragon Con, stating it as one of his life goals.
The Big Picture: This highlights fan-driven campaigns' growing influence on show renewals. Jacinto's desires for a second season clearly reflect the emotional importance of fan support to cast members (as shown by Amandla Stenberg last week) and to the overall viability of projects in the current streaming landscape.
