Disney headBob Igerhas confirmed the release date ofDisney+original seriesThe Mandalorian’s Season 2. The release date was confirmed alongside the highly-anticipated release dates for new Marvel/Disney+ original seriesThe Falcon and the Winter SoldierandWandaVision.
Thanks to a Tuesday earnings call related to Disney business, we learnedThe MandalorianSeason 2 will premiere in October. Unfortunately, Iger didn’t share a specific release day for the upcoming season currently in the works from series creatorJon Favreau. This release date is, however, much sooner than we might have expected consideringThe MandalorianSeason 1 premiered in early November 2019 and lines up withFavreau’s earlier Season 2 release datetease. It’s likely Season 2 will arrive on a Friday in October, the de facto release date of the week unless otherwise specified. The expected October premiere date also implies filming on Season 2 will begin soon, but Iger didn’t provide concrete insight on that front either.
In addition toThe MandalorianSeason 2 release date, Iger confirmedThe Falcon and the Winter Soldierwill arrive in August (much earlier than the previously believed Fall 2020 premiere window) andWandaVisionwill be released in December. No release date details for other Marvel/Disney+ shows, likeLoki, we mentioned during the call. We got our first look at both Marvel/Disney+ original series during Super Bowl LIV on Sunday, with plenty of new footage coming from bothThe Falcon and the Winter SoldierandWandaVision.
As far asThe Mandalorianis concerned, fans are still in the dark about what we can expect in Season 2. The Season 1 finale set up some tantalizing possibilities, with the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) and Baby Yoda jetting off into the Outer Rim to try andlocate Baby Yoda’s home planet. Meanwhile, anew villain named Moff Gideon(Giancarlo Esposito) arrived on the scene and is determined to get his hands on Baby Yoda no matter what it takes. Favreau has been working on the scripts for Season 2 for a few months now, and it will be interesting to see what he’s cooked up for us in the next batch of episodes.
The MandalorianSeason 1 is currently available to stream on Disney+. Get even more updates on the world ofStar Warshere.
