The two 'Ahsoka' villains will spend a lot of time together in Season 2

The Ahsoka star confirmed that the two characters will share many scenes in the second season.

The new episodes will see many of the original cast returning to reprise their roles, including Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren and Eman Esfandi as Ezra Bridger. However, unfortunately, one big name from the first season has been replaced.

Ray Stevenson, who played the role of Baylan Skoll, was recast after the tragic death of the actor in May 2023. Instead of abandoning the villain, he will return in season two. Now he is played by Game of Thronesstar Rory McCann, who joins Shin Hachi played by Ivanna Sakhno.

According to Sakhno, in the second season of Ahsokaher character and Skoll will often appear together on screen. The actress announced this in an interview with The Direct when active production of new episodes was underway.

Now filming is in full swing. I report from London so, you know, I see Rory almost every day and he's been incredible to work with. His work speaks for itself and he is definitely a gift to us. And no one could have played this role better.

What to expect from Shin Hachi in Ahsoka Season 2?

Although we haven't seen any footage from season two yet, we have a rough idea of what it's like. At the end of the first season, the main characters found themselves in another galaxy. Shin, Bailan Skoll, Ahsoka and Sabine will look for a way to leave the planet Peridea.

At the same time, Grand Admiral Thrawn, played by Lars Mikkelsen, returned to the main galaxy ofStar Wars.Ezra Bridger, whom Ahsoka was looking for in the first season, also turned out to be there.

Some speculate that the story may be related to the planet being Mortis, a world that exists outside of known reality and is said to be the source of the Force.

The second season of Ahsoka does not have an official release date, but is expected to premiere on Disney+ in 2026.
