Jon Favreau is already working on season two of ‘The Mandalorian’

[ad_1] The move isn’t completely shocking. The Mandalorian is a tentpole show for Disney+, and may have to carry the streaming service until Disney fleshes out its catalog of originals — so long as the first season held promise, a second was a reasonably safe bet.
