The Mandalorian season 2 is officially confirmed to premiere in fall 2020. This year, as the Star Wars franchise bid farewell to cinema's iconic Skywalker saga, it entered a new era by releasing its first live-action TV series. Created by Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian was positioned as a flagship program for the Disney+ streaming service, which launched this past November. The show became an instant hit with fans, due in large part breakout star Baby Yoda, who became a viral sensation immediately after making his surprise debut at the end of the first episode. The Mandalorian was also praised for how it expanded Star Wars lore, showcasing what the property is capable of.

Lucasfilm is developing other Star Wars shows for Disney+, such as the Cassian Andor Rogue One prequel and the Obi-Wan Kenobi miniseries, but The Mandalorian remains their crown jewel on the TV side of things. Even before the first season premiered, it was revealed season 2 was in the works, already going through principal photography. And now, fans know when they'll be able to see it.

Today, which is when The Mandalorian season 1 finale dropped on Disney+, Favreau took to Twitter to announce season 2 will debut in fall 2020. Check out his post in the space below:

Favreau's tweet includes a photo of a sculpture of a Gamorrean, the alien species best known for being guards in Jabba the Hutt's palace in Return of the Jedi. They've popped up in other areas of canon (like Clone Wars and novels), but they haven't appeared in live-action since 1983. As such, it'll be exciting to see how they factor into The Mandalorian, but it's important to keep in mind this isn't necessarily confirmation Gamorreans will play a big part in the narrative. During the build-up to season 1, Favreau frequently posted behind-the-scenes images on social media, some of which were merely background characters and/or props that didn't have a sizable role. A Gamorrean could be a new main character on The Mandalorian, or simply a background alien in a scene or two.

What'll be more fascinating is who's recruited to direct episodes of The Mandalorian season 2. Season 1 featured talents like Deborah Chow, Rick Famuyiwa, and Taika Waititi calling the shots, all of whom earned widespread acclaim for their work. But there will probably be some new names in the mix for season 2. Waititi is busy working on Next Goal Wins before he turns his attention to Thor: Love and Thunder, and Chow is going to oversee the aforementioned Obi-Wan show. Already, it's been revealed co-star Carl Weathers helmed an episode, and Favreau is planning on directing one himself , after sitting out season 1 due to The Lion King. Hopefully Lucasfilm found another crop of excellent filmmakers, and The Mandalorian continues to be a hit next year.
