The Mandalorian Season 2 trailer brings Baby Yoda back into our lives

The Mandalorian | Season 2 Official Trailer | Disney+

Disney must realize the world could use a dose of Baby Yoda, because the first trailer for The Mandalorian season 2 has arrived.

The trailer for the wildly popular Star Wars spinoff series premiered September 15 on Twitter. While the preview of the season offered plenty of footage of the title character and his famous pal journeying through the galaxy, it also shed some light on their mission: To return Baby Yoda to the Jedi.

In one of the trailer’s key scenes, a mysterious, hooded figure is seen at a crowded spaceport — right at the same moment the Mandalorian is told to look for the Jedi — only to disappear a second later. Popular speculation points to the character being fan-favorite character Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker’s apprentice in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, who will make her live-action debut in season 2. Fans have also suggested it could be Mandalorian warrior Sabine Wren, who is also rumored to be making the jump from the Star Wars Rebels animated series to the live-action world in the upcoming season.

Season 2 of The Mandalorian will premiere this fall on Disney+, continuing the adventures of the titular bounty hunter portrayed by Pedro Pascal and his adorable, Force-wielding companion, officially known as “The Child” (but better known as Baby Yoda).

Along with giving the Disney streaming service its first bona fide hit, the first season of The Mandalorian also earned an impressive 15 Primetime Emmy Award nominations earlier this year, including one in the Outstanding Drama Series category.

The second season of The Mandalorian is expected to bring back more characters from season 1 in addition to Din Djarin and Baby Yoda, while also introducing several new cast members and popular characters from Star Wars lore.

Temuera Morrison, who portrayed Jango Fett in 2002’s Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones, will reportedly portray the iconic bounty hunter Boba Fett in the series. Rosario Dawson is also reported to be playing Ahsoka Tano, while Battlestar Galactica actress Katee Sackhoff will play the live-action version of Bo-Katan Kryze, the Clone Wars character she voiced in the aforementioned animated series.

And Just Like That… season 2, episode 1 release date, time, channel, and plot
Miranda, Carrie, and Charlotte looking excited in ...And Just Like That.

After six successful seasons and two movies, the Sex and the City universe expanded with the addition of And Just Like That..., which serves as a sequel and series revival. Premiering in 2021, And Just Like That... reintroduced the world to Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte York (Kristin Davis), three of the leading women in Sex and the City. The original series focused on the friendship, sex lives, and social issues of these then-thirtysomethings living in New York City.

And Just Like That..., however, picks up 11 years after Sex and the City 2, with Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte all in their 50s. Despite the fact that they're older, the same friendship, fashion, and relationship drama are still as present as ever. And Just Like That... became Max's most-watched series debut at the time of its December 2021 premiere. Originally conceived as a miniseries, the overwhelming popularity led to a season 2 renewal.
