Disney+'s The Mandalorian season 2 will also see the return of familiar faces such as Greef Karga (Carl Weathers), Cara Dune (Gina Carano), and the show's primary villain, Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito)

Aside from the core cast, The Mandalorian season 2 is also expanding its cast of characters with Star Wars key players with Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) and Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) making their live-action debut. Meanwhile, the fan-favorite bounty hunter, Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) is also set to return. Michael Biehn and Timothy Olyphant, on the other hand, are appearing in still-unconfirmed castings. Thus far, there have been a couple of trailers released for The Mandalorian season 2, teasing what lies ahead for Din and Baby Yoda. Between the primary mission at hand and the involvement of the aforementioned new characters, the public is all geared up for fresh episodes, but what time do The Mandalorian season 2 episodes release?

Disney and Lucasfilm are sticking to their initial release schedule for the Jon Favreau-created series for The Mandalorian season 2. It's worth noting, however, that in its first season, there was some confusion about when new episodes would be available, causing a lot of fans to be frustrated. The Mandalorian's first couple of episodes were made available at varying times; this was specifically an issue for viewers on the East Coast who opted to stay up late waiting for new outings, only to be forced to wait a little longer. Some were more understanding of the situation as they chalked it to the fact that Disney+ was new then, with the Star Wars live-action show being their inaugural offering. Eventually, the series got into a regular midnight PST schedule, and that's now what time The Mandalorian season 2 episodes release.

ittedly, not everyone was initially on board with a weekly release schedule for Disney+ original content. Netflix has fostered a culture of binge-watching as they tend to drop a full season of series for people to fully enjoy in one weekend. Looking back at it now, having a staggered release has its clear advantages — arguably the biggest one is the shows getting consistent longer interest from the public. Its first season benefitted from this, so it's not surprising that The Mandalorian season 2 release will also adopt the same scheduling approach.
