Everything We Know About The Book Of Boba Fett Season 2

Warning! SPOILERS for The Book of Boba Fett episode 7.

The door is open for more Boba Fett adventures in The Book of Boba Fett season 2, and here’s what is known about the show’s future, story, and release. Temuera Morrison’s debut as the famous bounty hunter came in The Mandalorian season 2, and the post-credits scene confirmed plans for a spinoff. Jon Favreau and Robert Rodriguez worked together to create Boba Fett’s show, which began its seven-episode run on Disney+ in early 2022. Despite The Book of Boba Fett‘s somewhat divisive reception, there is room for the series to continue the bounty hunter’s adventures.

Over the course of The Book of Boba Fett season 1, viewers saw Boba Fett attempt to take control of Tatooine as the planet’s new crime lord. This included flashbacks to how he survived the sarlacc pit and befriended the Tusken Raiders, and the end of the season surprised many as major Star Wars and The Mandalorian characters appeared. It all built towards Boba Fett and his comrades fighting the Pyke Syndicate for control of the sand planet. In doing so, The Book of Boba Fett season 2 was set up as a possibility, in addition to teases for The Mandalorian season 3.

Given the popularity of Boba Fett and the open-ended nature of The Book of Boba Fett‘s finale, there seems to be a path for the bounty hunter turned crime lord to remain at the center of his own story. His Star Wars future might still include a return in The Mandalorian season 3 too. However, here’s everything that’s known about the possibility of The Book of Boba Fett season 2.

Is The Book Of Boba Fett Season 2 Happening?

Lucasfilm has yet to announce plans for The Book of Boba Fett season 2. The studio has a growing slate of original content for Disney+, including Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor in 2022, but more adventures for Boba Fett are not confirmed. Robert Rodriguez mentioned in late 2021 that The Book of Boba Fett season 2 is likely but dependent on how audiences respond to the series. Boba’s show hasn’t been as overwhelmingly praised as The Mandalorian, but a second season should still happen as long as Rodriguez and Favreau want to do it.

The Book Of Boba Fett Season 2 Story: What The Finale Sets Up

There are a few different ways The Book of Boba Fett‘s finale sets up season 2 as well. He defeated the Pyke Syndicate and is accepted by all on Tatooine as their new leader. However, this comes after Fennec Shand secretly killed the leaders of other major criminal enterprises. This could mean The Book of Boba Fett season 2 brings an even bigger threat to Tatooine, such as Qi’ra’s Crimson Dawn. There is also a tease that Boba Fett begins to realize he isn’t really cut out for this type of lifestyle and could be interested in a return to his bounty hunting and killing ways. Perhaps a second season will explore him venturing back into that territory.

The Book Of Boba Fett Season 2 Cast: Which Characters Will Return

If The Book of Boba Fett season 2 happens, the finale sets up who the core cast members should be. Temuera Morrison and Ming-Na Wen would be back to play Boba Fett and Fennec Shand, but there is also a tease that Black Krrsantan, Drash (Sophie Thatcher), and Skad (Jordan Bolger) are now part of their team permanently. These five characters could be prominently featured in a second season. Meanwhile, The Book of Boba Fett season 1 taught viewers that just about anyone could appear, so more Cad Bane, Din Djarin, Luke Skywalker, and so on could happen. Maybe Morrison’s hopes of Mace Windu are even possible.

The Book Of Boba Fett Season 2 Release Date Prediction

As for when The Book of Boba Fett season 2 could release on Disney+, that is tougher to gauge. A second season won’t happen until after The Mandalorian season 3, which is expected to debut in late 2022 or early 2023. That could mean The Book of Boba Fett season 2 isn’t released until late 2023 or early 2024 at the earliest. Favreau and Rodriguez need to get to work on the series relatively soon if that is going to happen, though.
