Showrunner/executive Jon Favreau has assembled quite an impressive slate of directors for the show, including himself, Taika Waititi, Deborah Chow, Rick Famuyiwa, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Dave Filoni; series one co-star Carl Weathers is even stepping up to direct an episode of the upcoming season.
The Mandalorian‘s second season is scheduled to debut this October on Disney+.
