While Lucasfilm has not officially confirmed that Star Wars: The Bad Batch has been renewed for a third season, the cliffhanger ending of season 2 makes another instalment very likely.

We might gain more clarity on the situation at Star Wars Celebration 2023, which will host a panel dedicated to The Bad Batch on Monday 10th April.

With several cast and crew members expected to appear on the panel, it could be the perfect opportunity to announce a third season, but for now fans will have to wait and see.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 3 cast – who could return?

Fans will be thrilled to hear that several members of The Bad Batch’s main cast are likely to return for season 3, including Dee Bradley Baker, who voices all the Clone Troopers.

Michelle Ang’s scheduled appearance at The Bad Batch‘s panel indicates she’ll also return for season 3.

Other cast members who are likely to return include Stephen Stanton as Admiral Tarkin, Ben Diskin as AZI-3, Gwendoline Yeo as Nala Se, Jimmi Simpson’s Dr Hemlock, and Rhea Perlman as Cid.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 3 plot – what could happen?

With season 3 yet to officially be confirmed, plot details are still very much under wraps.

However, the epic season 2 finale gave us a few clues.

The season 2 ending saw the surviving members of the Bad Batch swear to rescue Omega, who has been captured by the Empire, which could see them join the nascent Rebel Alliance in a third season.

The season 2 finale also introduced a new sister for Omega, Imperial scientist Emerie Karr, and season 3 is likely to delve into her backstory.
