Debuting on the day that a worldwide community of fans celebrate all-things-Star Wars — Monday, May 4 — ‘Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian’ is an eight-episode documentary series that pulls back the curtain on the first season of ‘The Mandalorian.’ Each chapter explores a different facet of the first live-action Star Wars television show through interviews, never-before-seen footage, and roundtable conversations hosted by Favreau.”

The Instagram image of a director’s slate shows both Idoine and Filoni’s names are prominently displayed in the picture, though it’s entirely unclear if this particular slate was used during the finale. You can check out the post here. the new episodes are expected to premiere in October.
In addition to The Mandalorian, other upcoming Star Wars series will include a show that stars Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi and a prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story which is set to feature the return of Diego Luna as Cassian Andor and Alan Tudyk as K-2SO.
