Description:
A release window for The Bad Batch season 2 appears to have leaked online so when will it launch?

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Fans of Star Wars' animated productions, rejoice. Why? Well, thanks to a new leak, we have a clearer idea of when The Bad Batch season 2 will return to
our screens.

Previously, we'd known that The Bad Batch season 2 is on the way, with Disney confirming as much in 202. Now, though, weve got a better idea of when to expect The Clone Wars spin-off's return.

According to a leaked page of the upcoming issue of Star Wars Insider
magazine (as posted to Reddit ), The Bad Batch season 2 will arrive on Disney Plus in Spring 2022. Thats sometime between March and June, for our readers
in the Southern Hemisphere, and means it won't be long before we're reunited with Hunter and company.

Disney hasnt yet officially confirmed the release window. However, given that season 1 kicked off on May 4 (aka Star Wars Day) last year, wed wager that
new episodes are likely to appear on, or at least around, the same date in 2022.

Incidentally, May 4 also falls on a Wednesday this year. With Marvel TV shows including Loki , What If? , and Hawkeye premiering midweek in recent times on Disney's streaming platform, we wouldn't be surprised if The Bad Batch season 2 does likewise.

The first season of The Bad Batch was welcomed by Star Wars devotees. It maintained The Clone Wars' popular animation style and explored, in more detail, the rise of the Empire following the events of Episode III: Revenge
of the Sith.

As for what ground season 2 will cover, we expect to see the world around the shows main characters Hunter, Tech, Wrecker, Echo and Crosshair changing in light of season 1s dramatic finale (check out our hub for a more detailed, spoiler-filled rundown).

Further plot details are scarce at this stage, but we do know Dee Bradley Baker and Michelle Ang will be reprising their roles as the Clones and Omega, respectively. Admiral Tarkin was a primary antagonist in The Bad Batch (Image credit: Lucasfilm/Disney)

Our main and, really, only criticism of The Bad Batchs debut outing was its struggle to justify its existence , a consequence of the shows reliance on characters who were otherwise supporting cast members in original episodes of The Clone Wars.

But, with 16 episodes now under the belt of the titular task force, were heading into season 2 with a greater understanding of who these characters
are and their role in the wider Star Wars universe which should make for some even more engrossing TV. Its Star Wars season, baby

2022 is bringing plenty more Star Wars content to Disney Plus, too.

While new episodes of The Book of Boba Fett continue to drop weekly, fans of
a galaxy far, far away will also be treated to Obi-Wan Kenobi and Rogue One prequel Andor at some point later in the year.

With no concrete release dates for either, it's entirely possible that Disney and Lucasfilm may decide to release Obi-Wan or Andor around Star Wars Day instead. After all, Star Wars fans are becoming increasingly frustrated over
a lack of news on both shows, so it would be in Disney's best interests to reveal more soon.

Even so, its likely theyll arrive after the Spring 2022 window set for The
Bad Batch season 2. The show's leaked release window suggests that it'll be the next Star Wars TV series to arrive but, regardless of which one does launch first, Disney Plus-subscribing Star Wars fans have plenty to look forward to in the not-so-distant future. Check out our spoiler-filled recap
of The Book of Boba Fett episode 4
