Ahsoka's Delayed Return Sparks Frustration in Disney's Star Wars Streaming Saga

As of October 2025, Disney's Star Wars streaming content has been a mixed bag, with the majority of its Disney+ shows being one-off projects or getting canceled. The only live-action Star Wars series with an upcoming new season is Ahsoka, which has just finished filming its second season.

However, the news surrounding Ahsoka's return is not entirely positive. The show's second season is not expected to premiere until August 2026 - a three-year gap between seasons, which is on the high end for streaming series. This delay is much longer than the typical 1.5 to 2 years fans have grown accustomed to, and even exceeds the much-criticized gap between seasons of the Netflix series Wednesday.
