The Book of Boba Fett season 2 potential release date, cast, plot and everything you need to know

Does his story end here?

The Book of Boba Fett spoilers follow.

The Book of Boba Fett has been surprisingly popular, if not quite as popular as The Mandalorian, which has left fans wondering if Temuera Morrison's first solo venture has a future beyond season one.

Things were further complicated when episodes five and six became a backdoor premiere for The Mandalorian season three, essentially making this show Mando 2.5.

So what does that mean for The Book of Boba Fett? Is there another chapter waiting in the wings, or can we close this book for good and move on to the other eighty gajillion Star Wars shows soon heading our way?

Here's everything you need to know about The Book of Boba Fett season two on Disney+.

The Book of Boba Fett season 2 potential release date: When will it air on Disney+?

Disney+

Unfortunately, as of March 2022, there is still no confirmation that The Book Of Boba Fett is returning for season two yet, let alone a confirmed release date.

With the Star Wars universe ever-expanding, there is just as equal a chance they're closing the book Boba Fett's standalone journey completely, as there is it will continue on to further chapters.

Given that Disney has wider plans for Star Wars, it could also hold season two back to connect it with something else planned later down the line.

The Book Of Boba Fett proved to have significant connections to The Mandalorian, which has been given the green light to go ahead with season three. So we may just need to wait and see how this story plays out.

The Mandalorian season three potentially should be with us by December 2022.

At least there are plenty of other spin-offs and additions to the Star Wars universe to keep us on our toes – including Ahsoka, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor and Rangers of the New Republic.

The Book of Boba Fett season 2 cast: Who is returning?

We'd usually say a show like The Book of Boba Fett hinges on its leading man, but as episodes five and six proved, Temuera Morrison isn't as integral to the show as we first thought. Saying that, though, it would still be cheeky to commission a second season without Boba Fett himself, so we can safely assume Morrison will be back in some form.

Still, while Morrison has nothing but positive feelings about the reaction of the fans to the show, as well as happy memories of filming with Ming-Na ("We had a wonderful chemistry. It was so easy to work with her. She had been my confidant and it was really a duo effort") and the crew in general – it appears season one left the actor with some regrets (via ScreenRant).

"Now that I'm looking back at it, I don't know, it's just one of those things. Things are great when you look back, but there are some things I may have done a little bit different. But again, just for me to work with Jon and be part of the Mandalorian family [has] just been quite phenomenal, really."

Let's hope he has a second crack at the laser whip.

Others who would likely join him include:

• Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand
• Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin / The Mandalorian (If he's not busy with his own show)
• Matt Berry as the voice of 8D8
• Carey Jones as Krrsantan
• Danny Trejo as the trainer of Fett's Rancor

Following that short but intriguing post-credits scene at the end of season one, we suspect that Timothy Olyphant would definitely return for a second season. Cobb Vanth almost died at the hands of Cad Bane, but help from the Bacta Tank and Fennec Shand's surgeon means he'll definitely be around next time we revisit Tatooine, whenever that might be.

One person we don't expect to see return is Corey Burton as the voice of Cad Bane. The notorious bounty hunter ended up on the wrong end of Boba's spear in the season one finale, which means he's unlikely to pop up again and cause more trouble for our faves in season two. Though that light *was* still blinking on his coat...

The Book of Boba Fett season 2 plot: What will happen?

Disney+

Boba has now secured his place as Tatooine's big crime boss, but will he stay there after the dust has settled? One final scene in the season-one finale hinted that he and Fennec might soon be moving onto pastures new.

Held up as saviours, Boba and Fennec walk through the streets with admiration, and even a melon is thrown their way. "We are not suited for this," says Boba, to which Fennec replies, "If not us, then who?"

And with that, Boba throws his melon to Black Krrsantan, who's hanging out with Sophie Thatcher's Drash, the teen street gang leader who we suspect may now take over if Boba decides to leave.

What the hell's going on with Book of Boba Fett?

It's an ambiguous end, but that makes sense given that the future of this show is still ambiguous too. Given the mixed response from fans, not to mention the lack of obvious story for Boba moving forward, we wouldn't be surprised if he returns in a smaller capacity moving forward, perhaps as a guest star on other shows like The Mandalorian.

However, if The Book of Boba Fett does return, then it's possible that future episodes might focus on him settling an old score with Mace Windu, the Jedi Master who killed his father.

"I owe him big time for my dad. He's done. He's done," Morrison told IMDb's On the Scene in a recent interview. "I've got my eye on him. He's top of the list, in fact."

Co-star Ming-Na Wen joined in, suggesting "slow torture" for Mace at the hands of her character Fennec Shand, to which Morrison replied, "Definitely, yes."

Book of Boba Fett star talks Mace Windu theory

And before you point out that Mace is dead, remember that Boba was supposed to be eating sand worms too.

In 2016, Samuel L Jackson disputed his character's supposed death during an interview with EW, where he argued Mace could have survived Revenge of the Sith.

"Of course he is [alive]! Jedi can fall from amazing distances," Jackson said. "And there's a long history of one-handed Jedi. So why not?"

Why not indeed?

Jackson has spoken about bringing the character back to Disney+, but he hasn’t had extensive conversations – yet.

"The only person I've ever said that to about coming back was Bryce Dallas Howard," Jackson said (via IGN). "I just did a movie with her, and she directs episodes of The Mandalorian. So, I go, 'So, you think you might be able to hook a brother up? I mean, you like me, right?' And she's like 'I love you, you're amazing.' So put me back in, I'm ready. Put me in, coach. I'll learn lightsaber left-handed."

After the overwhelmingly positive fan response to Hayden Christensen returning in Obi-Wan Kenobi, don’t rule out a miraculous recovery for Windu.

But if you want some clues about where Boba's journey's going next, maybe Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather trilogy should be on your binge-watch list. According to Jon Favreau (via Vanity Fair), it's a key influence.

"You think about Don Corleone. There's a tremendous amount of restraint because he knows that to be sustainable, there has to be [peace.] You don't do well unless there's some political balance, because if you keep going to the mattresses, nobody's earning. You think about what things are off-limits. Don Corleone wasn't just doing everything to line his pockets as he got later into his career."

"You look at De Niro, in the flashbacks in The Godfather: Part II, as he's walking down the streets. He's seen as somebody who's actually creating, someone the people respect because of the way he conducts himself. There's lots of different ways to run an empire."

"There's the Sonny Corleone way, there's the Michael Corleone way and then there's the Vito Corleone way. We would talk to Robert about Conan. Conan starts off as a young warrior and then ages up through the books until he's Conan the King."

"So, how is Boba the crime lord going to be different, knowing what he knows, than what he would've been when he was a younger man? I think he's just wise. … He's also a much older character because now we're after the original trilogy. He's at a different point of his life, having experienced what we had seen in all the previous films."

The Book of Boba Fett season 2 trailer: When can I watch it?

Sorry folks, but the chances of us seeing a trailer for Book Of Boba Fett season two is low for the foreseeable future.

After all, if you're reading this, then you surely know how much LucasFilm likes to keep things under a seriously heavy lock and key until they're ready for fans to know it.

So, with new footage about as far away as the Star Wars galaxy itself (aka far, far away), make sure you check back in here and we'll keep you as updated as we can.

The Book of Boba Fett is available on Disney+.
