Disney+ has given Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 2 a release date! They’ve announced that it will premiere this fall on September 28th! The date was posted on the Disney+ homepage. The first trailer for the series debuted during Star Wars Celebration and you can check that out here!
I enjoyed the first season of The Bad Batch. It told a great story, and I just really like the characters that make up the Bad Batch. I’m excited for Season 2 as it looks like it’s going to take fans on another grand Star Wars adventure!
The series follows the elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch (first introduced in The Clone Wars), also known as Clone Force 99, “as they find their way in a rapidly changing galaxy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War. Members of Bad Batch – a unique squad of clones who vary genetically from their brothers in the Clone Army — each possess a singular exceptional skill which makes them extraordinarily effective soldiers and a formidable crew. In the post-Clone War era, they will take on daring mercenary missions as they struggle to stay afloat and find new purpose.”
Season 2 continues the story of the team of defective Galactic Army clones. “Months have passed since the events on Kamino and the Bad Batch continue their journey navigating the Empire after the fall of the Republic. They will cross paths with friends and foes, both new and familiar, as they take on a variety of thrilling mercenary missions that will take them to unexpected and dangerous new places.”
Executive producer Dave Filoni said in a previous statement: “The entire Lucasfilm Animation team and I would like to thank Disney+ and our fans for the opportunity to continue telling the story of the Bad Batch.”
The series stars Dee Bradley Baker as the voice for every member of Clone Force 99, including Crosshair. Michelle Ang co-stars as Omega, the only female clone of the late Jango Fett. Rhea Perlman is also in the series and voices Trandoshan Cid.
The second season of Star Wars: The Bad Batch consists of 16 episodes.
