A new listing on the Writers Guild of America West website reveals who penned each of the Season 2 scripts of The Mandalorian, with series creator Jon Favreau penning six of the eight episodes in the season; and one each for executive producer Dave Filoni and veteran Mandalorian director Rick Famuyiwa.
This is the same ratio of episodes the Favreau wrote in the first season, with Filoni writing the season’s fifth episode, and Famuyiwa and Christopher Yost writing the sixth episode.
These details will surely interest Mandalorian fans, especially given what has been rumored to appear in the series’ sophomore season. In particular, Filoni writing episode 2×05 has begun to fuel speculation that that will be the long-awaited live-action appearance of Ahsoka Tano, who is believed to be played by Rosario Dawson.
The Mandalorian stars Pedro Pascal as The Mandalorian, with Gina Carano as Cara Dune, Taika Waititi as IG-11, Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon, Carl Weathers as Greef Carga, Werner Herzog as The Client, Nick Nolte as Kuiil, and Emily Swallow as The Armorer.
Season 2 of The Mandalorian will premiere exclusively on Disney+ on October 30th — we will be watching!
