‘The Mandalorian’ Season 2 Finally Gets an October Release Date and a New Logo with Baby Yoda

The Mandalorian made huge waves last year when it arrived as not just one of the first pieces of original programming on Disney+, but the first ever live-action Star Wars series. Now it’s one of the most beloved parts of the Disney era of Star Wars, and the second season is arriving this fall. We’ve been waiting to find out exactly when new episodes would start debuting on Disney+, and today we got our answer along with a brand new logo (seen above) featuring the titular bounty hunter walking alongside the tiny little asset he protected throughout the first season.

The official Star Wars Twitter account made the announcement with this post today:

This is the day. New Episodes Streaming Oct. 30 on #DisneyPlus. #TheMandalorian pic.twitter.com/ZlJua6SEP8

So The Mandalorian season 2 release date has been set for October 30. That’s a Friday, which is the same day that each episode was released in the first season, with the exception of the series premiere and an episode in the middle of the season that arrived early to avoid clashing with the hype around the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

It’s interesting that this tweet specifically says “new episodes” coming on that date. That might imply that more than one episode will be available on that day instead of just a single episode for the season premiere. Is there a chance that Disney+ doesn’t do a weekly release model with the second season and allows fans to just binge it? We’re guessing probably not since spreading out the episodes keeps monthly subscribers enticed for longer, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility.

More to come…
