This is the way for The Mandalorian Season 2, the first episode is released next month.
Yes, you bet your sweet Mandalorian armour that this is the way because Pedro Pascal and The Child, ok, Baby Yoda, will be returning with a new season of The Mandalorian on October 30.
Disney + UK have announced that they'll be showing the first episode on the first day and it's highly likely that the Irish release will be on the same day too with the show launching simultaneously in every region where Disney+ is available.
For its debut season, episodes were released on a week-by-week basis in the US and we assume that's going to be the norm for Season 2 also.

As for the plot of The Mandalorian Season 2, very little is known but Temuera Morrison will return to the Star Wars universe and he's expected to reprise his role as Boba Fett.
Elsewhere, Katee Sackhoff will play a live-action Bo-Katan, Timothy Olyphant has an unspecified role, and Rosario Dawson is rumoured to be playing Ahsoka Tano.
Given the finale to Season 1, we fully expect the darksaber and Grand Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) to be far more prevalent too.
Since its release on Disney +, The Mandalorian has been a massive hit and for a time, it even became the most in-demand streaming series in the US. Aside from this, the Pedro Pascal-led series has also proven to be popular with the critics too as seen by the 15 Emmy nominations it recently received.
During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the show's executive producers, Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, said that production on Season 3 is unlikely to be impacted by COVID, due to the show's emphasis on virtual sets and outside locations.
Favreau stated: “The fact that the set is much more contained is a benefit because you can limit the number of people. A lot of the people controlling it are doing it remotely from what we call the Brain Bar, which is a bank of gaming computers, essentially. The amount of people near the camera could be much smaller than [usual]."
I have spoken.
