Season two of The Mandalorian, the wildly popular Disney+ original show, starts its new journey on October 30. The show explores new territory as it takes place between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. Teasers and trailers have shown we can expect just as much Baby Yoda as the season one provided, if not more.
The new season will feature eight new episodes, or chapters, continuing the story that began last year. The Mandalorian was created by Jon Faverau and he will serve as director for one episode while other episodes will be handled by Dave Filoni, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rick Famuyiwa, Carl Weathers, Peyton Reed, and Robert Rodriguez, according to official information.
As great as it might be that The Mandalorian is back with new episodes, the downside is that only one chapter will arrive each week. Chapter 9 arrives on October 30, but the season two finale won't be here until December 18.
One thing that's different this year, compared to last year, is an improved Disney+ app. Just in time for a socially distant season two, Disney+ has added a watch party mode across its TV and mobile apps that allow people to send emojis on-screen as multiple people watch the show at the same time. It's not the same as being with other people, but the feature may add a little fun when Baby Yoda comes on screen.

Season two of the critically acclaimed Star Wars show begins on Disney+ on October 30. Disney+ shows have typically been available in the early morning on the release date, rather than right at midnight like some of the other streaming services. Chapter 9 kicks things off and then subsequent episodes follow each Friday.
