Good news for fans of Star Wars animated series The Bad Batch on Disney+ as it’s been revealed that, with the final episode looming in season one, a second season is coming.
Yes, Hunter, Tech, Echo, Wrecker and Omega will all be back in 2022 – so don’t bet on this season having a nice finale, wrapped up in a big bow.
The series follows Clone Force 99 AKA The Bad Batch, a team of Clonetroopers who have removed the chips in their heads and therefore aren’t under the control of the newly-formed Empire and have to survive in the galaxy by any means necessary while trying to do the right thing and stay alive.
While the series started very strongly, it meandered a lot during the first season and I’m hoping it ends with a bang on Friday but I do like the characters and I am invested in them, so I will be back when they return in 2022.
Thoughts?
“Star Wars: The Bad Batch” follows the elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch (first introduced in “The Clone Wars”) 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 that makes them extraordinarily effective soldiers and a formidable crew.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
