Some Awful News About Ahsoka Season 2s Release Date
AhsokaDisneyAs we know, Disney is struggling quite a bit more on its Star Wars side than its Marvel side these days. That has lately meant a mess of a situation about if theyre ever going to make a Star Wars movie again with delayed timelines and cancelled projects. But the TV side isnt going so great either, with miniseries ending, shows cancelled and almost no series returning for season 2. One is Andor, which was always planned, the other is Ahsoka. And information about Ahsoka season 2 paints a picture of a wild gap between seasons.According to a new report from DanielRPK, confirming past reports saying something similar, Ahsoka season 2 may begin filming in April 2025, almost six months from now. What does that mean?Ahsoka season 1 premiered on August 22, 2023, meaning the season 2 is not even going to start filming until 19 months after that show released, an absurd gap.Ahsoka season 1 began filming in May of 2022, meaning it took 15 months to make it to release.As such, if Ahsoka season 2 begins filming in April 2025, 15 months after that would be July 2028, and that is one month less than three years since season 1 premiered.AhsokaDisneyGranted yes, streaming is now in a space with generally long gaps between seasons. Only a few shows manage to do the formerly typical one year in between seasons, and most now do 18 months, or two years. That still feels very long. Three years? Thats exhausting. Granted, this is not the only show with that long of a timetable. Somehow Netflix is going to take three years to get out Wednesday season 2, but in this era of confused Disney Star Wars content and scheduling, it seems like even more of a problem that this is happening.This has not happened to this extent with Disneys other Star Wars shows, as the ones with more than one season are under three years. The first two seasons of The Mandalorian actually released under a year apart, but then delays (namely Pedro Pascal filming The Last of Us), led the gap between the second and third season to be just under two and a half years. The gap between the two seasons of Andor will be two and a half years exactly. Not great, but clearly Ahsoka is the worst example here.MORE FOR YOUDisney needs to get a handle on both its budgets (The Acolytes $180 million was nuts) and its release scheduling. These shows are disjointed and the ones that are returning are distant memories by the time they come back.
