A second season of the Star Wars TV show Ahsoka is in development. But first, Disney-owned Marvel will be jumping in, adapting Season One as a comic book series launching in July. Which might be a good time for LucasFilm to announce details about Season Two?
Star Wars: Ahsoka #1 by Rodney Barnes, Steven Cummings, and Georges Jeanty in future issues, will bring back Ahsoka Tano, alongside Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla, and Professor Huyang again in an 8-issue adaptation, alongside previous TV adaptations including The Mandalorian and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Georges Jeanty is best known for drawing the Buffy The Vampire Slayer series, as well as Weapon X, Bishop, Gambit, Deadpool and The American Way.
"It is truly an honour to be adapting Ahsoka. The character is the essence of classic Star Wars: layered, complex and fun! I hope the fans enjoy this adaptation as much as the series it's adapted from." -Rodney Barnes
