A fresh announcement about Season 2 of the show “Ahsoka” has unveiled a significant link to “The Mandalorian”, causing a stir among Star Wars enthusiasts. This development suggests that the two shows will maintain their creative bond, ensuring the Star Wars universe on Disney+ remains tightly knitted. Already, Season 1 of “Ahsoka” has expanded upon characters and plotlines from “The Mandalorian”. There’s even more to anticipate when Season 2 airs in 2026.
In the second season of Ahsoka, one of The Mandalorian’s highly acclaimed directors, Bryce Dallas Howard, is set to make a comeback. As per a recent list of talents, it has been confirmed that she will be directing at least one episode in the upcoming season, marking her re-entry into the Star Wars universe since 2023.
Howard has overseen exceptional chapters within the Mandoverse, such as “Sanctuary” (Season 1), “The Heiress” (Season 2), and “Guns for Hire” (Season 3) from The Mandalorian, along with the Din Djarin-focused “Return of the Mandalorian” in The Book of Boba Fett. Her role is not just a pivotal link between Ahsoka and The Mandalorian, but also an exciting indication for fans craving top-tier episodes.
Howard will be part of an impressive roster of directors for the second season of “Ahsoka,” which also includes Dave Filoni, Anders Engström, and Jennifer Getzinger who is returning from Season 1.
Howard is well-known for creating emotionally deep and action-packed episodes in Star Wars TV. This indicates that Ahsoka Season 2 might delve further into the interconnected narratives of the Mandoverse while preserving the high-quality cinematic experience fans are accustomed to, since Howard is returning.
Right now, the only live-action Star Wars series airing on Disney+ is “Ahsoka” Season 2, set for release in 2026. Following the climactic events of the first season, this new installment follows Ahsoka Tano (portrayed by Rosario Dawson) and her former Jedi apprentice Sabine Wren (played by Natasha Liu Bordizzo), who find themselves stranded in a far-off galaxy. Meanwhile, Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) reappears in the main galaxy to gather the remaining Imperial forces.
The ensemble features Eman Esfandi portraying Ezra Bridger, Hayden Christensen reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker, and Rory McCann assuming Baylan Skoll’s part following Ray Stevenson’s demise. Lucasfilm and Golem Creations are behind this production, with Dave Filoni resuming his position as showrunner. Filming for the eight-episode season started in April 2025 within the UK.
Will The Mandalorian Appear in Ahsoka Season 2?
Since Bryce Dallas Howard is set to direct at least one episode in the second season of “Ahsoka,” it wouldn’t be unreasonable to anticipate a possible visit by Pedro Pascal’s character, Din Djarin (also known as The Mandalorian).
Howard directed several episodes of “The Mandalorian” series, including the highly praised “Return of the Mandalorian” episode from “The Book of Boba Fett“. This particular episode primarily served to delve deeper into the Mandalorian’s backstory.
The episode significantly developed Djarin’s storyline, highlighting his bond with Grogu, his alienation from the Mandalorian code, and his journey to regain his identity. This demonstrates Howard’s exceptional talent in shaping complex characters.
In “The Book of Boba Fett,” Djarin made a comeback as Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni deemed it crucial for his character to complete Boba Fett’s tale and carry on the storyline of The Mandalorian. This return offered an opportunity to delve into the emotional aftermath of his split from Grogu, despite some viewers expressing dismay or shock at this development in 2022.
Adding to the excitement is the upcoming movie titled “The Mandalorian & Grogu“, slated for release in May 2026. This film might come out even before the second season of “Ahsoka” on Disney+. As per Favreau, this film will showcase a more advanced Grogu, who has grown more adept at using the Force and is now fully Mando’s apprentice.
Based on how the duo’s story unfolds in the movie, there’s a strong likelihood they might reappear on television in “Ahsoka”, and this is even more plausible given that Howard is expected to be back directing.
