The Mandalorianspin-off Star Wars fans have all been waiting for is almost here. Boba Fett, played by Temuera Morrison, is the first Star Wars character to get his own live-action show after appearing in Mandalorian Season 2.
Aptly titled, The Book of Boba Fett will explore new and possibly several chapters in the bounty hunter’s life, answering age-old canon questions while diving into his evolution as a character. In addition to Morrison, the series will feature Ming-Na Wen as Fennec, who viewers also met in The Mandalorian. With executive producers Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni running the show and director Robert Rodriguez reportedly helming the first three episodes, there’s much to anticipate from this new entry in the Star Wars universe.

Star Wars fans were stoked at the chance to see longtime cult-fave character Boba Fett get his own series with The Book of Boba Fett on Disney+—and the show has brought with it a ton of fun surprises along the way, including (spoileralert!) appearances from Grogu, Ahsoka Tano, Din Djarin and even Luke Skywalker! Still, the show didn't get quite as much love from viewers initially as The Mandalorian did, although Djarin's appearance certainly turned the tides a bit on that in recent weeks. So, will The Book of Boba Fett Season 2 happen? Here's what we know so far.
How many seasons of The Book of Boba Fett will there be?
So far, there's only one season of The Book of Boba Fett. Plans for subsequent seasons have yet to be announced.

Will Boba Fett have a Season 2?
It remains to be seen if we'll see a Season 2 of The Book of Boba Fett. The title star himself, Temuera Morrison, told Express in July 2021, "I think they have a few things to think about. The tree is still growing. I think they'll just wait and see how the series is received. There haven't been any talks about it yet."
Is Boba Fett only one season?
The definitive number of seasons of The Book of Boba Fett is currently unknown. The outcome may well depend on how many viewers tune in for the final episodes of Season 1. Morrison previously told Rolling Stonehe was grateful to play the iconic bounty hunter after playing Jango Fett in the Star Wars prequels, noting, "You know how you look at some fruit or some food at the supermarket and it's got a 'use by' date on it? Well, that was very much my career. So thank Christ someone had a meeting and said, 'Well, Boba's gotta look like Jango. He's a cloned son!' Thank Christ I played the father, that's all I want to say. Yeah, it's been great."
