The Mandalorian landed on the heads of Star Wars fans like a ton of bricks who hoped the series would satisfy all their dreams about Boba Fett. It was more than they could have hoped that they got. The first season wasted little time in announcing that not only would this homage to spaghetti westerns and samurai films be about a faceless bounty hunter, but also about a boy with a familiar face.

From the very first episode, Baby Yoda completely changed the dynamic of the show. Marketed as a story about a gunslinger making his way through the lawless corners of the galaxy and looking for his next pay day, The Mandalorian turned out to be a space-themed homage to Lone Wolf and Cub -- a "father" protecting his child from money-hungry bounty hunters and ruthless Imperial agents. Mando might have once seemed like a rogue, but we learn that he has a heart of gold when he spares the baby's life and decides to keep him safe.

Mando and Baby Yoda's bond was all but solidified by the end of the first season as the duo heads towards another space adventure. The question now is, is there going to be a season 2 continuing the Star Wars tale of Mando and Baby Yoda?

Showrunner Jon Favreau has confirmed that filming for The Mandalorian season 2 is already underway, with this picture from the set of the new season: https://www.instagram.com/p/B40g-nlFFH3/

Favreau revealed back in July that he was already in the process of writing season 2 and preparing the sets. It seemed Disney was confident in the success of the first live-action Star Wars series before it even premiered in November.

The Mandalorian Season 2 Release Date As far as we could see The Mandalorian Season 2, Favreau announced that the series will be back in the fall of 2020, which is not all that surprising given the fall's first season. It remains to be seen how season 2 will fit into the future Disney+ schedule that also includes an Obi-Wan Kenobi series and a Cassian Andor show. Those series don't have set release dates yet.

For now, we'll just have to wait patiently for The Mandalorian season 2 and more cute Baby Yoda moments.
