Hux Arrives as Star Wars Resistance Heads for Season 2

Get ready for more adventure on the Colossus this fall.

Disney Channel ordered a second season of Lucasfilm’s Star Wars Resistance ahead of the series’ mid-season return this Sunday. Resistance follows Kazuda Xiono (“Kaz”), a young pilot recruited by the Resistance to spy on the growing threat of the First Order. In the mid-season trailer, a familiar villain from The Force Awakens emerges for his first appearance on the series—General Hux!

Star Wars Resistance returns Sunday, Jan. 13 (10:00 p.m. EST/PST), on Disney Channel and DisneyNOW.

In related news, store reports are coming in from around the country that fans and collectors are spotting the first wave of Hasbro’s Star Wars Resistance action figures at Walmart and Target locations. Happy hunting!
