Following the initial reveal of this new project during the end of Season 2 of The Mandalorian, Lucasfilm has revealed the official logo for their upcoming The Book of Boba Fett live-action series coming to Disney+ December of 2021. The series will star Temuera Morrison as the titular character with Ming-Na Wen returning as sharpshooter Fennec Shand. Robert Rodriguez will join Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni as executive producers on the show which will be set in the official timeline during the events of The Mandalorian.
It has also been confirmed that this Fett series is a separate project from The Mandalorian as Season 3 of the hit live-action series will be going into production sometime next year.
Boba Fett is back. And his story is just beginning.
As teased in a surprise end-credit sequence following the season finale of The Mandalorian, the legendary bounty hunter’s journey will continue in The Book of Boba Fett. Jon Favreau, executive producer of The Mandalorian, confirmed today on Good Morning America that the new series is currently in production and will arrive December 2021, only on Disney+.
The Book of Boba Fett will be set within the timeline of The Mandalorian and star Temuera Morrison as the titular bounty hunter, along with Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand. Robert Rodriguez — who directed Chapter 14 of The Mandalorian, a thrilling installment that reintroduced Boba Fett to the Star Wars galaxy — joins Favreau and Dave Filoni as executive producer.
Boba Fett made his big-screen debut in 1980’s Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, becoming an instant fan favorite thanks to his visually arresting armor and cool demeanor. Jeremy Bulloch, the original actor inside the armor, passed away last week — but his legacy, including all he brought to Boba Fett, goes on. The Book of Boba Fett will carry that legacy forward.
Season 3 of The Mandalorian will go into production next year.
