It's expected to start airing November next year.

Wow! That IS a long time.

They need something to make sure those annual resubscriptions happen.

That article had that post by Jon Faverau with helmet. Totally means the helmet is off in Season 2 imo.

Wait November 2020!

Are they insane.

Jeez why would they allow the momentum of the most watched streaming show ever with an immensely popular baby yoda character to die down by pushing S2 out to November 2020 that would be suicide on their part.

They should be feverishly at work trying to get S2 out by spring.

Maybe to keep subscribers on the hook and milk them for a year...

They had no idea how it would perform... now they need time to make season 2. And they want to clear summer -- not that there's anything really in their way this year. But still... looks like Mando is taking over the Star Wars [movie] Holiday Season.

Yep. It takes time to make good content.

Content. *RLM Jay 'affirming head bob'*

I hope season 2 is longer than 8 episodes. Or at least make the episodes longer.

And please keep any links to the ST at a bare minimum.

If they're smart they'll keep Rian Johnson as far away as possible from this series...

Given they already have a few episodes finished for season 2, I wouldn't be to surprised to see it launch a few months ahead of November 2020... I know a year is typical between seasons but fans are going to want more episodes soon... at least will have season 7 of the The Clone Wars next year to watch and the Obi-Wan series the next year... I imagine with the success of The Mandalorian will see Disney scrambling to make more Star Wars TV Shows...

Yes. So...just yes.

Will be interesting to see how Disney launches Mando Season 2 along with the MCU series - which i thought were also scheduled for Fall 2020. Maybe Disney is loading up fall 2020 to bulwark against juggernaut Amazon. Also isn't Disney + still rolling out globally? They are waiting to dominate world by Fall 2020. Then they can raise price.

Agree RJ should not be let near Mando.

I believe the UK has to wait until April or May to get Disney+ streaming... True, once all the Marvel shows start rolling out there's going to be a lot to watch on Disney+

Yes, KK always tells us "Disney listens to the fans" so as far as I've seen in Mando articles, episode length is a common negative.

I watched the first episode of the Witcher last night. 1 hour. It had a good amount of story telling and felt more fleshed out and non rushed. The Mando, while good, often feels like just snippits of this and that. I can appreciate the cost and the compactness, but it is at the expense of broadness imo. It really does feel like an episode of Rebels or Clone Wars. Compact and to the point, but over before you know what's going on. Just like a Saturday morning comic show.

I hope they step it up a notch for Season 2, to be something more than just short animated style length episodes.

What about the Cassian series ? Although I see (in link) that's also scheduled for 2021. I hope they don't hold Mando to 2 seasons, with the false thinking Obi-Wan and Cassian in 2021 is enough ! I could handle 4-5 of these TV shows spread throughout the year !

Maybe we will see the Mandalorian clan rises again to help battle imperial forces. We don't know what happened to them after Mando's escape and it's hard to believe that Mando, Kara, and IG-11 can take on all of the troopers.
Also, Hot Toys making heavy infantry figure will make more sense.

If S2 really is next november no one other than diehards will give a crap about Mando and baby yoda by then the momentum will be long gone.

Am a fanatic I mean diehard but...Disney don't play. Gonna guess...

1) Disney+ test waters with series, more or less unexpected hit + bonus worldwide obsession with make-grown-man-cry cuteness. (Even better,
unlike Baby Groot, the cuteness is gonna LAST for a long time.)

2) Series also has the long-standing viral Boba Fett connection. Badassery.

3) Disney throws money at Favreau and Filoni (and big Xmas bonus). Make more! Make it even better! Also throws money at ecologically incorrect plastic factories to go into extended shifts - PO ur baby Yoda!

Ur green big-eyed babies and PO'd Hasbro figs start showing up in mail March-May...second wave of hype as Disney+ reaches global audience (maybe throw in teaser at BW movie). U open the box and there's that plushie that u hug in a *manly way* as long as no-one is looking...the Funko u magnet to ur dashboard...

4) Summer 2020 badass trailers arrive to REMIND u, along with the notice that Disney+ will now cost 300% more, which u'll pay 'coz u just can't stand it and u join D23 club besides. Cast is sent to cons. Cosplayers are sent to emergency rooms from injuries/tetanus (from trying to make GENUINE Mando costumes with no experience in metalwork) and passing out from stress.

(Bonus - brawl breaks out when Mando cosplayer pulse rifle accidently lops off half of Hela cosplayer horns, resulting in evictions from Emerald City Con. Onlookers reportedly chant "this is the way" during the fight. Mando cosplayer easily wins, as Hela cosplayer costume was so tight she just falls over. Reporters are ecstatic. A Cara Dune cosplayer later sneers online about the stupidity of wearing 6 inch heels anyway, and crushes a paint can for emphasis. Disney publicly condemns violence and privately e-mails Favreau "don't hold back the Season 2 kill count, yah know?")

5) Fall 2020 - Hype machine in overdrive. Rumors swirl online. Deleted Season 1 scenes released. Come Season 2, u settle in with ur new 72" TV with the premium sound system u picked up from the back-to-school sales, complete with ur fuzzy Blurrg floor pillow and full size replica Pulse Rifle with light-up and working parts$$$$.

If u don't wanna read basically JC shoots mouth off negative re TROS.
IMO Jake Cannavale should be quiet, all things considered.
