The Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau has confirmed the release date for the Star Wars show’s upcoming second season.
Since the coronavirus pandemic spread across the world, Hollywood was effectively shut down. Many films and shows had to halt production and the release dates were pushed back. Surprisingly, however, this did not include the hit Disney+ Star Wars show, The Mandalorian.
During a recent roundtable, Jon Favreau confirmed that The Mandalorian would be maintaining its October release date. He went on to say that filming had been finished and the editing and visual effects were being done remotely:
“We were lucky enough to have finished photography before the lockdown, so thanks to how technology-forward Lucasfilm and ILM are, we’ve been able to do all the editing visual effects remotely… It will be available as planned on Disney+ in October. It will be building on hopefully what people loved from the first season. It doesn’t feel like the next season, it feels like work continuing.”
