'The Mandalorian' is getting multiple books, starting in the fall
The Mandalorian will apparently be back on Disney+ for Season 2 in October, but there's even more in store for fans of the series in fall 2020 (and beyond).
At least six books based on the series are incoming, according to a new announcement on StarWars.com. Comics, too, as well as "magazine, novelty, and coloring and activity titles." If you're a Star Wars fan of pretty much any age, there's a good chance The Mandalorian will have something for you.
The six announced books include two novelizations of the TV series, with one for adults (by Adam Christopher) and another for "junior" readers (by Joe Schreiber). There's also another pair of books seemingly aimed at younger readers – Allies & Enemies and 8x8 Storybook – by Brooke Vitale, plus an art book by Phil Szostak and a "Visual Guide" by Lucasfilm exec Pablo Hidalgo.

The comics, meanwhile, will be coming from both Marvel and IDW Publishing. No titles or descriptions for those, yet, but it sounds like the comics will be your best bet if you're looking for continuing stories in The Mandalorian's corner of the Star Wars universe. The books all appear to be either reference works or written versions of what you can watch on Disney+.
Expect all of these to arrive sometime between fall 2020 and spring 2021. We don't have specific dates for any of it yet, but the fact that The Art of The Mandalorian (Season One) has cover art, seen in the above tweet suggests it'll fall on the earlier end of that timeline.
The Mandalorian's second season is expected to arrive on Disney+ sometime in October.
