It's finally time to watch The Bad Batch season 2, where the gang formerly known as Clone Force 99 have more work to do.

The Bad Batch season 2 release date, time and more

Release date and time: The Bad Batch season 2 episodes 1 and 2 debuted today (Wednesday, Jan. 4) on Disney Plus at 3 a.m. ET. Full release schedule below.

The Disney Plus series finds the titular group a little further into their future than when we last saw them. How do we know? Well, Omega looks a little older, and a little more confident with her Zygerrian energy bow.

Meanwhile, Crosshair and Cody are stuck on the other side of Order 66. The former is trying to maintain the company line that clones who abandon the order are traitors, while Cody's unsure about all of it. 

In the trailer below, you'll see the topic of the larger imperial threat addressed. At least Echo's able to see that the Empire is a scourge worth possibly taking seriously. Relatedly, one of our team finally started watching Clone Wars, and he was shocked.

Here's everything you need to know to watch The Bad Batch season 2 online, and here's the trailer:
