Star Wars: The Bad Batch is the latest animated show set in a galaxy far, far away. It recently released its fourteenth episode, meaning we’re only two weeks away from an explosive season finale. With so many Disney Plus projects planned years in advance, it’s got Star Wars fans asking one question – is there a Star Wars: Bad Batch season 2 release date?
When is the Star Wars: Bad Batch season 2 release date?
Currently, there is no release date for Star Wars: Bad Batch season 2. Neither Disney nor Lucasfilm have announced a release date so far, and a second season hasn’t even been confirmed yet.
Sadly, Lucasfilm and Disney are keeping tight-lipped on the future of The Bad Batch. When the show was first announced in July 2020, they never confirmed a set amount of seasons. Therefore, it’s really hard to confirm whether we’ll see more of Hunter, Wrecker and co. in the future. That said, there’s no indication so far that Disney or Lucasfilm are planning on cancelling the show.
As Disney haven’t revealed the viewing figures for Disney Plus shows, we don’t know whether The Bad Batch has gained a sizeable audience. However, there’s clearly a lot of support behind the show due to its continuation of The Clone Wars, which was beloved by fans. If social media reaction is anything to go by, then the show is a success:
Similarly, Star Wars shows never tend to run for just one season. The Clone Wars ran for seven seasons, Rebels had four seasons, and most recently, Resistance had two seasons. The latter show didn’t gain strong support from fans, and still got renewed. Therefore, the chances of a Bad Batch season 2 are high. Until there’s confirmation from Disney then it’ll be hard to say – but given the show’s success on their streaming platform, the future looks bright.
