And for those wondering if star Pedro Pascal is leaving the show, rest assured our Mando isn't flying off anytime soon.

Here's everything you need to know about "The Mandalorian" season 2 :

For those who still have yet to sign up, Disney+ costs $6.99/month or $69.99/year. There is also a bundle featuring Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu for $12.99/month.

When does "The Mandalorian" season 2 premiere?

"The Mandalorian" season 2 premieres today, Friday, Oct. 30 , on Disney+. And just like the first season, new episodes will be released every Friday.

Who is in the cast for "The Mandalorian" season 2?

While there's much speculation about new additions to the cast for the second season, only Pascal as Mando, Gina Carano as Cara Dune, a rebel shock trooper-turned-mercenary, and Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon, a former officer of the Galactic Empire's Imperial Security Bureau, have officially been announced. They will, of course, join the always adorable Baby Yoda this season.

Additionally, official press photos for season 2 reveal Carl Weathers is back as Greef Karga, bounty hunter guild leader, and WWE star Sasha Banks has joined as a mysterious new character. An image showing the professional wrestler in a dark cloak -- which was seen in the trailer -- lists her without providing a name for the character she plays. That said, the trailer mentions Jedi, so perhaps Banks' character has a connection to them.

What are the stars of "The Mandalorian" saying about season 2?

Pascal appeared on "Good Morning America" and, while he couldn't share much about season 2, he said he was "taken aback in a really good way" when reading the script for the premiere. He also called Baby Yoda an "incredible scene partner."

"To be a hero is something that we all aspire to," the "Breaking Bad" star, who called Baby Yoda a "beautiful, wonderful being," explained. "I play some villains, but I really love the hero and we need to be empowered by heroes today."
