‘The Bad Batch’ To End Next Year With Season 3
It was a good news, bad news situation at the Bad Batch panel at Star Wars Celebration Europe this morning.
The good news? The Bad Batch is getting a third season and it’s coming next year.
The bad news? Season three will be the final season.
The announcement was made during a panel which featured executive producers Brad Rau, Jennifer Corbett, and Athena Portillo alongside stars Dee Bradley Baker (The Bad Batch and all the other clones) and Michelle Ang (Omega). A trailer was then shown exclusively to attendees in the room in London.
StarWars.com posted a breakdown of some of the key moments in the trailer,
It began with the Emperor (once again voiced by Palpatine actor Ian McDiarmid) visiting Dr. Royce Hemlock, leader of the Empire’s cloning efforts, on Mount Tantiss. “It is imperative that this facility remain secure,” Palpatine says. “Your brilliance is a great asset to this Empire.” All members of the Bad Batch appear, with Hunter addressing Omega’s capture at the hands of the Empire. “Omega’s been waiting for us. I’m not making her wait another day.” We see Omega and a sullen Crosshair, both still in Imperial custody. “I’m not giving up, Crosshair,” Omega tells him. “I won’t leave you, either. You’re my brother.” Throughout, there are glimpses of several worlds and characters, including Republic commandos, clones, Rex, plenty of giant creatures (“Why is there always a huge monster!” Wrecker asks, before dropping a thermal detonator in one’s mouth.), and Ming-Na Wen’s fan-favorite bounty hunter, Fennec Shand.
