We knew folks cherished the Star Wars live-action collection The Mandalorian, however we had been pleasantly shocked when the Disney+ collection’ first season was nominated for a whopping 15 Emmys. And after an exhilarating finish that exposed not simply Mando’s (Pedro Pascal) actual identify (it is Din Djarin), but additionally the actual fact he was rescued as a toddler by blue-armored Mandalorians after the dying of his mother and father, we’re champing on the bit to be taught extra in Season 2.
Fortunately, we already know a bit about what to anticipate when the present returns later this 12 months, together with an precise premiere date. Here is all the pieces we all know for certain about Season 2.
Season 2 is coming in October.

Season 2 will deal with The Youngster, aka Child Yoda, and the place he comes from.
