Giancarlo Esposito Says The Mandalorian Season Two Will Lay Groundwork For Plenty More to Come

The Mandalorian is set to premiere its second season at the end of October, and Giancarlo Esposito says it sets the show up for a lot more further down the road. Esposito, who plays Moff Gideon on the Disney+ series, spoke with People during their Emmy Awards pre-show and hinted at the possibility of two more seasons yet to come.

“We’re living in a universe that is huge and there’s so much to explore,” Esposito said of the show. “So I think this show is going to lay the ground work for the depth and breath that’s gonna come in season 3 and season 4, where you’re really gonna start to get answers.”

The Star Wars series’ second season premieres on October 30th, having wrapped just before the pandemic forced an industry-wide production shutdown. The series stars Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers, Esposito, Werner Herzog, Nick Nolte, Emily Swallow and Omid Abtahi.
