The Book of Boba Fett Star Offers Optimistic Season 2 Update (2)

The Book of Boba Fett has not yet been renewed for a second season by Lucasfilm. While fans patiently wait for more news on Boba Fett's Star Wars galaxy return, actor Ming-Na Wen has offered a brief, yet optimistic update on the future of the Disney+ series.

Speaking with her The Mandalorian co-star Kate Sackhoff on her new podcast, The Sackhoff Show (via X), Wen revealed that Star Wars fans were not only the ones who wanted a second season of The Book of Boba Fett. "So do I," she confirmed. "I think the fans and Tem and I we should all do The Book Of Boba Fett Season 2. I think there’s a lot more stories to be told, and it hasn’t really quite finished and evolved and there’s more are so hopefully- I hope."

Sackhoff, who portrays Bo-Katan Kryze across Star Wars' live-action and animated projects, then expressed interest in appearing in a possible Season 2, stating that "she could exist in The Book of Boba Fett." This prompted Wen to suggest that Lucasfilm should give Bo-Katan her own spinoff, as well as one for her character, Fennec Shand, exclaiming, "Everybody gets a spinoff! ... you get a show, and you get a show."

Wen's Fennec Shand and Temuera Morrison's Boba Fett were first introduced in The Mandalorian Seasons 1 and 2, respectively, before returning to headline The Book of Boba Fett, which ran for seven episodes from December 2021 to February 2022 on Disney+. In the show, Boba Fett and Fennec Shand attempt to make a name for themselves in the galaxy's underworld by taking over the territory once controlled by Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine. While critical reception was mixed, fans enjoyed The Book of Boba Fett, with the Season 1 finale boasting the highest viewership for a Star Wars series yet at the time.

While Wen remains optimistic about Boba Fett Season 2, her co-star Morrison seemingly thinks that Lucasfilm has moved its focus onto other Star Wars projects. In December 2023, the actor addressed the show's future, stating, "No word yet. I don't even know if there is going to be a Season 2. I don't know what's going on there. We're coming out of this downtime period, so, I think everyone is just settling back in, and it all goes back to budgets and what they want to do, and how much the thing costs. I really don't know, I really don't know. Judging by the fans I've met, they all want a Season 2 of Boba Fett, but I don't know what's going to happen."
