Despite criticisms for the Star Wars sequel trilogy, things have been great for Lucasfilm on the Disney+ end, thanks to shows like The Mandalorian and Star Wars: The Bad Batch. Of all the Star Wars shows Disney+ has launched since its arrival, fans have loved these two the most.

Both are currently running on the streaming platform, entertaining fans and leaving them with many questions. Among the two, The Bad Batch came out much later and has launched more episodes than The Mandalorian.


Each season of Star Wars: The Bad Batch has 16 episodes

Continuing the story after The Clone Wars, The Bad Batch premiered on May 4, 2021. Like all Star Wars shows on Disney+, it launched weekly episodes, with the first season running for 16 episodes until August 13, 2021.

After that, The Bad Batch was renewed for a second season, which premiered its first two episodes on January 4, 2023. Like season 1, the second batch also contains 16 episodes. At the time of writing this article, 13 episodes of season 2 have been launched on Disney+.

What’s next in The Bad Batch season 2?

Still taking place in the year 19 BBY, season 2 of the animated series picked up months after the events on Kamino from season 1. It continued the story of the Batch, who settled into their lives as mercenaries. Over the last 13 episodes, we’ve seen the group take on a variety of thrilling mercenary missions.

After a “not so dangerous” mission in episode 13, Pabu, the next episode, Tipping Point, is set to bring another exciting adventure for the group. As of now, Hunter has realized that both he and Omega deserve a normal life on Pabu. But with just three episodes left, it’s easy to assume that it won’t be all sunshine and rainbows for them from here on out.

Considering the love from critics and fans, it would be safe to assume that Disney would renew the series for season 3 with 16 more episodes. But whether there’s enough story left to tell with The Bad Batch remains to be seen.
