Claudia Black Exits 'Ahsoka' Season 2 Over Pay Linked to London Production

Black describes a Season 1 pay cut that led to burnout, making a London return untenable.

Overview

  • The actor confirmed she will not reprise Klothow, saying the offer did not cover costs as a single parent maintaining a Los Angeles household while filming moved to London.
  • In follow-up comments to The Hollywood Reporter, she said her Season 1 compensation was far lower than many assume and contributed to burnout, stressing her stance is not personal toward Disney.
  • Black said she contacted creator Dave Filoni to explain her decision and to thank him for the first-season experience.
  • The role of Klothow is expected to be recast for Season 2, though no replacement has been announced.
  • Season 2 remains slated for 2026 on Disney+, as industry reporting suggests Disney and Lucasfilm are taking a more conservative budgeting approach to streaming projects.
