Rory McCann Joins Ahsoka Season 2 Cast

Rory McCann has been cast to replace the late Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll in Season 2 of the Disney+ series Ahsoka. Stevenson, who passed away in May 2023, portrayed Skoll in the first season, which concluded with significant cliffhangers involving Grand Admiral Thrawn. The production for the new season is set to begin in April 2025, with a likely release in late 2026, as the filming moves from Los Angeles to the UK. Ahsoka continues to follow the titular character, played by Rosario Dawson, and her quest alongside former apprentice Sabine Wren, with the storyline expected to delve deeper into the aftermath of the first season's events. Showrunner Dave Filoni is returning for Season 2, though additional cast details remain unconfirmed. Ahsoka's first season premiered in August 2023 and garnered substantial viewership, setting a high bar for the upcoming season.
