This follows up on similar posts made by cast members like Gina Carano, who uploaded aphoto of herself as Rebel Shock Trooper Cara Duneon set to Instagram yesterday. On June 16, 2025, the officialStar Warswebsite announced thatThe MandalorianSeason Two will premiere in October 2020 based on confirmation from soon-to-be-former Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger during an earnings call.
No doubt one main reason forThe Mandalorian’s success was its break-out star The Child — or as the Internet has come to affectionately know him, Baby Yoda. It took Disney a few months tojump on its Baby Yoda merchandising opportunities, but that hasn’t stoppedStar Warsand casual fans alike from latching onto the adorable force-sensitive alien child in a big way.
However, the show has also received acclaim for its high-quality production,video game-esque story elements, and a mix of set design, writing, and cinematography which led many to feel it captured the same appeal as olderStar Warsfilms. Idoine’s work certainly contributed to that, as the cinematographer brought experience working onThe Bourne Legacy,American Sniper,The Master, andRogue One: A Star Wars Storyaccording to his website.
Not much has been unveiled about what Season Two will offer forThe Mandalorian, but fans can certainly expect to see more high-octane bounty hunting action and more cute gif-able Baby Yoda scenes if Disney learned anything from the reactions to Season One. Perhaps it will even add more tiny characters, like thefan-made Baby Jabba the Hutt.
