The Emmy-nominated series Star Wars Resistance is set to return for its sophomore run, bowing later this year on Disney Channel and DisneyNOW.

The series is set to premiere on Sunday, October 6, at 10 p.m., with subsequent airings on Disney XD. The new season takes place during the events of The Last Jedi, leading up to The Rise of Skywalker, as Kaz and the team continue to fight against the threat of the First Order, culminating in an epic series finale.

The story picks up after a harrowing escape from the First Order, as the Colossus and all its residents find themselves lost in space, pursued by Agent Tierny and Commander Pyre. Kaz and team face a myriad of new dangers along the way including bounty hunters, a suspicious Hutt, General Hux and Supreme Leader Kylo Ren. Meanwhile, Tam grapples with her future and where her true allegiance lies, with her friends or the First Order.
