This is the way. The Star Wars adventure continues with more episodes of the fan-favorite live-action Disney+ series, The Mandalorian. With new episodes premiering every week, fans look forward to seeing Mando and The Child travel across the galaxy together ā€” again.

Season 1 of the ā€˜Star Warsā€™ series, ā€˜The Mandalorian,ā€™ is available on Disneyā€™s streaming platform

When Disney+ premiered during November 2019, it came with a number of original and exclusive television shows. That includes the first-ever Star Wars live-action multi-episode series, The Mandalorian.

Taking place after the fall of the Empire but before the First Orderā€™s rise to power, The Mandalorian tells the story of one unexplored corner of the galaxy. In this series, fans first met the Mandalorian, a stoic bounty hunter who stumbles upon a pretty valuable ā€œasset.ā€Ā 

This Child was nicknamed Baby Yoda by Star Wars fans and, after deciding not to hand him over, the Mandalorian protects this Child at all costs. The first season includes 8 episodes, each of them premiering on a weekly basis. Presumably, new episodes of this series will follow a similar premiere format.Ā

How many episodes are in season 2 of the ā€˜Star Warsā€™ series?

According to Decider, just like the first season of this action series, The Mandalorian Season 2 will consist of 8 ā€œchaptersā€ or episodes. The article states that, ā€œthe season premiere should be available to stream at approximately 3:01 a.m. ET / 12:01 a.m PT on release day, Oct. 30.ā€ However, more information will presumably be announced in the coming weeks.

Until then, fans can catch a glimpse into this series with the official trailer, which shows Mando running into a few other characters. That includes a mysterious Jedi and the Rebel shock trooper from season 1, Cara Dune.

Season 2 of ā€˜The Mandalorianā€™ premieres during October 2020

About a year following The Mandalorianā€™s first season, this series is coming back to Disney+. According to director Jon Favreau, the story will be even ā€œless isolated,ā€ but still feature fan-favorite characters.Ā 

ā€œThe new season is about introducing a larger story in the world,ā€ Jon Favreau said during an interview with Entertainment Weekly. ā€œThe stories become less isolated, yet each episode has its own flavor, and hopefully weā€™re bringing a lot more scope to the show.ā€Ā 

ā€œEverything gets bigger, the stakes get higher, but also the personal story between the Child and the Mandalorian develops in a way I think people will enjoy,ā€ executive producer and director Dave Filoni added.

Episodes of The Mandalorian are available on Disney+, with Season 2 premiering on Oct. 30, 2020 and new episodes premiering on a weekly basis.

Until then, fans can watch episodes of the docu-series regarding the creation of the original show, titled Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian. To learn more about Disneyā€™s streaming platform and to subscribe, visit their website.Ā
