The Mandalorian is the popular TV series set in the world of Star Wars. The first season was launched by Disney + from March 24, at the launch of the service in Europe. The huge success of the show then convinced the production to invest in new episodes.
Unfortunately, the filming ended in March, that is right before the Covid-19 emergency blocked many jobs related to the industry. Therefore, the airing will not be delayed from the agreed schedule. The creator Jon Favreau had already reassured fans by revealing that the second season would be released in autumn 2020, but now we know exactly the date: The Mandalorian 2 will arrive on October 30 on Disney + and will therefore also be available for all Italian users. Pedro Pascal will still play the main character, namely the lone space gunslinger, but he will be joined by new characters. In addition to the cast, the plot will also undergo important evolutions because there will be changes.
The Mandalorian: news in the cast of the second season
As announced, the protagonist Pedro Pascal will have to deal with several new characters. Michael Biehn, also present in “Terminator” and “Aliens: Final Clash”, will be a bounty hunter who belonged to the Mandalorian’s past and who will allow us to better understand the events of his life.
There will also be Rosario Dawson who will play the role of Ahsoka Tano, the Jedi apprentice already present in The Clone Wars. Finally, we will learn about Katee Sackhoff, who will instead play the Mandalorian Bo-Katan Kryze. In the new episodes we will also see another figure already loved by fans of the Star Wars universe, Boba Fett, whose role has been entrusted to Temuera Morrison. Finally, there will also be Timothy Olyphant, famous for his roles in “Deadwood and Justified”, who in The Mandalorian 2 will play the role of a mysterious character.
In short, the cast of the new episodes is really rich and will allow to build a fascinating plot and full of twists, also because new authors will intervene. In fact, some episodes of the second season will be shot by the same creator Jon Favreau, actor Carl Weathers, but also Peyton Reed, Dave Filoni and Robert Rodriguez. To each have been entrusted one or more episodes.
The Mandalorian 2: plot previews
Another aspect that generates curiosity in the audience is of course that of the plot. In fact, there are really a lot of unfinished business in the first season. The first knot to unravel is related to the identity of the child saved by the lone gunman. According to the fans, it could be Baby Yoda, but we will know only in the next episodes.
The Mandalorian and the Child have formed a special bond and now it is time to understand some more details related to the mysterious character. It’s no coincidence that the first season ended with the two of them searching for the child’s family of origin.
Another mystery is related to Moff Gideon who is not only still alive, but in the last episode he appeared with a strange lightsaber with a black blade. In the new episodes we will better understand what is the origin and meaning for the weapon and why it is so important to the Mandalorians. Finally, in the second season we will see the return of the iconic character of the Star Wars Universe, Boba Fett, the most famous warrior of all time.
In short, there is really a lot of news in the works. All that remains is to wait until October 30, 2020 to better understand the role of the characters and the evolution of the plot. In the meantime, you can watch the first season of The Mandalorian by connecting to the Disney + platform.
