The Mandalorian season 2 release date was October 30,2020. New episodes are out every Friday on Disney Plus. Here’s The Mandalorian season 2 release schedule. There are a couple of official trailers for The Mandalorian season 2 – check them out above and below, for a sample of what’s to come this season. The first official trailer for The Mandalorian season 2 arrived last month. It doesn’t tell us much about the story, but it does double down on what we already knew after season 1’s finale: this set of episodes will be about the search for Baby Yoda’s homeworld, and possibly his species. What this trailer makes clear is that this more specifically means our hero is looking for the Jedi… This is the main The Mandalorian season 2 cast we know about, but we’ve included rumored cast members in the line-up, too. Potential spoilers for The Mandalorian season 2 follow. Since the show debuted, rumors about characters popping up in The Mandalorian season 2 have gone haywire. Two of those have been confirmed: Timothy Olyphant as Cobb Vanth and Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett. The rest are just as exciting – but unconfirmed to date. Rosario Dawson will reportedly play The Clone Wars favorite Ahsoka Tano in The Mandalorian season 2. This would mark the character’s first appearance in live-action. Variety, too, confirmed the report, saying it’s a guest-starring role. Speaking to Variety, Dawson explains how excited she would be for such a role. « That’s not confirmed yet, » she said, « but when that happens I will be very happy. » Aliens and Terminator’s Michael Biehn is reportedly part of The Mandalorian season 2 cast, too, possibly playing a bounty hunter (via The Hollywood Reporter). In May 2020, Slashfilm reported Katee Sackhoff will be reprising her role as the Mandalorian warrior Bo-Katan Kryze from Star Wars: Rebels, only this time in live-action. Could Morrison also turn up as another character from The Clone Wars? Rumors suggest it’s possible. Wait and see. Disclaimer: the below was written before season 2 began. Everything about the finale of season 1 suggests that The Mandalorian season 2 will focus on the search for “the Child” – aka Baby Yoda’s – home. This would certainly contradict George Lucas’ famous rule about not revealing the origin of Yoda’s species… During the season 1 finale, the Mandalorian Armorer on Nevarro tells the Mandalorian that because Baby Yoda is a foundling (and therefore probably not, as previously speculated, a clone), “By creed it is in your care.” She then adds that, “You have no choice, you must reunite it with its own kind.” Unfortunately for Mando, however, the Armorer didn’t have any information on where he might find them: “This you must determine,” she teases. But as ever in Star Wars, there’s a degree of ambiguity here – and the identity of who the Mandalorian is actually looking for may come down to your own point of view. Perhaps Mando is, as it seems at first glance, looking for the homeworld of Yoda’s species. Or maybe he’s simply looking for Jedi who survived the Emperor’s Order 66 purge in Revenge of the Sith, some three decades earlier. Why the confusion? In the Outer Rim worlds that provide the setting for The Mandalorian, the Force exploits of the Jedi are just myth – indeed, the Mandalorian simply says of Baby Yoda’s Force abilities that “it can move objects with its mind”.
