'The Mandalorian' to return with second season next year in autumn

Fans of the instant hit Disney series The Mandalorian will be glad to know that a second season for the series has just been announced. Showrunner and executive producer Jon Favreau announced the good news on Twitter and said that fresh episodes will be coming in the fall of 2020.

Along with the news of the release date of season 2, Favreau also shared a picture of an alien race called Gamorrean, while Gammorreans inhabit the Star Wars Universe they have not been seen since Return of the Jedi in 1983. The picture of the Gammorrens does provide some hints to where the next season may take us.

The Gammorrens were first seen as guards to Jabba the Hutt in the original Star Wars Trilogy so perhaps the Hutt clan may make an entrance in the next season. The news that there will be a second season comes just hours after the season one premiere. The timeline for the next season for anyone that is confused is set after the fall of the Galactic Empire but before the rise of the First Order led by Supreme Leader Snoke.
