According to THR, Peter Ramsay tapped as an Ahsoka director for the soon to be filming Star Wars show. The Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has been tapped to direct at least one episode of Ahsoka the trade has learned from sources. Pre-production on Ahsoka has been active for some time. LRM also learned there has been been some footage shot already, though, not involving any of the main cast. Principal is due to begin towards the end of this month in Los Angeles.
The Mandalorian Season 3 has just wrapped and in it’s place will be Ahsoka. Whilst we cannot say for certain it seems likely that Ahsoka will be the next Mandoverse show to release following Mando S3. Alongside lead Rosario Dawson, Ahsoka has also cast Hayden Christensen (never heard of him), Mary Eliozabeth Winstead, Ivanna Sakhno, and Natasha Liu Bordizzo, whom we know will play Sabine Wren.

In addition, whilst never made official, LRM exclusively reported that Mena Massoud and Lars Mikkelsen were signed as Ezra Bridger and Grand Admiral Thrawn for the show some time ago. Expect the search for Ezra and Thrawn to be the primary drive for Ahsoka and Sabine during the series. I’d also expect to hear some official casting announcements at Star Wars Celebration. Though, I have a feeling that will not include Massoud nor Mikkelsen. I could be wrong, but my guess is these two will be kept as a surprise.
I guess we will have to wait and see? However Ahsoka seems to be the furthest ahead of those shows not yet filming, or already filmed. We also expect to get an official announcement of the ‘Grammar Rodeo’ High Republic show. The unnamed Star Wars show will begin filming in June. For more on what Kyle Malone and myself theorize we will hear about at Celebration, check out this week’s The Cantina in the related link above.
