It’s been a week, right? We can talk about spoilers from “The Mandalorian” Season 2 premiere? Well, if you read the title of this article, then you’re probably already spoiled a bit. Sorry.

The Covid-19 pandemic may have royally disrupted the film industry, but Disney’s Lucasfilm is one of the few companies who’ve avoided delays thanks to fortuitous timing and an innovative, easy-to-work-in system (ILM’s the Volume, see below). “The Mandalorian” season two finished production before the pandemic started and was able to finish post-production remotely and then finished in time for the first episode to air at the end of this past October.

Remember blockbusters? The closest anyone is going to get to that blockbuster feeling in Fall 2020 is the second season of Disney+’s flagship series, “The Mandalorian,” which dropped its premiere this morning, a little less than a year after the show debuted with the streaming service in November 2019.

The Mandalorian cradles Baby Yoda as he says “I’ve been quested to bring this one back to his kind” in the latest trailer for the second series of the Star Wars spin-off.

About a year or so ago, Bob Iger said, the future of “Star Wars” lay in television, at least new film franchises were up and running. Yesterday, in a restructuring of media and entertainment division announcement (read: more layoffs), Disney announced its “primary focus” for entertainment is streaming.

If you wanted to hire someone to possibly create a new cinematic universe based on existing IP, you could do a lot worse than filmmaker Jon Favreau. After directing “Iron Man” and “Iron Man 2,” Favreau would go on to see his two films spawn dozens more and an entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.

There is no shortage of genre television offerings for this October, with plenty of shows looking to sustain horror fans who are looking for new output. Every streaming site seems to have either a horror anthology series or something branded with horror labeling.

We are just over a month away from the release of Season 2 of “The Mandalorian,” which just wrapped up an awards season that saw the series nominated for Best Drama at the Emmys. And while the first trailer for the upcoming season hinted at a bunch of big reveals and twists that fans will find over the course of the new episodes, one star of the show hints that the really good stuff is actually coming in Seasons 3 and 4.

, as evidenced by the first trailer teasing the return of Disney+'s space Western.

Season 2 of “The Mandalorian” is just over a month away and Disney launched the first trailer for the new episodes today to begin the marketing machine. So, if you go on social media, you’re going to be inundated with more Baby Yoda memes and nerd speculation.

The Mandalorian says “Wherever I go, he goes” as he continues his journey with Baby Yoda in the first trailer for the second series of the Star Wars spin-off.

Lucasfilm’s “The Mandalorian” began with a fascinating concept that intrigued “Star Wars” fans a little tired of the same old story: a familiar armor, but ultimately new character living on the fringes of the “Star Wars” galaxy after the fall of the Empire post-“Return Of The Jedi.” Yes, the character concept was similar to Boba Fett—another Mandalorian character—and the unnamed Mando warrior was a mercenary bounty hunter like just like Fett.

When “The Mandalorian” Season 1 debuted last year with the launch of Disney+, the platform was using the series as the crown jewel of the launch lineup. Sure, it was a guarantee that “The Mandalorian” would attract subscribers, considering its “Star Wars” lineage, but no one really thought the show would end up earning 15 Emmy nominations including Best Drama Series.

The Mandalorian will return to Disney+ for a second series on October 30, it has been confirmed.

Despite being just the weirdest year ever, it’s also been a super-strong, solid one for television.

The strangest, longest, and, frankly, most questionable Emmys season in history has almost come to an end.

There won’t be football or concerts at the Rose Bowl this fall, but it looks like grounds and parking lots of the 98-year-old facility will be busier than expected during a global pandemic. Last night the television divisions of the Walt Disney Company held the second of six FYC screenings in a temporary Drive-In format on the Rose Bowl grounds.

The reveal that Giancarlo Esposito‘s Moff Gideon has the Darksaber at the end of “The Mandalorian” season 1 was the biggest surprise since Baby Yoda was unleashed on humanity. Though we still don’t know Baby Yoda’s name, we may get an answer on where the Darksaber came from, at least according to Esposito.

In a year as competitive and as historically notable as this one, it was expected that there would be significant snubs and surprise nominees among the 2020 Emmys class. Some “snubs” were actually expected such as “Westworld” missing out on Drama Series (Thandie Newton still made the cut) and one-time expected players such “Space Force” and “#BlackAF” being overlooked.
