Disney will be releasing one more Star Wars series before the year ends. The media giant will be debuting The Book of Boba Fett on December 29 over at Disney+. The Mandalorian spin-off will take place after recent events in season two. It'll follow Boba Fett (played by Temeura Morrison) and his mercenary ally Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) in Tatooine. The series is still led by producers of The Mandalorian, including Jon Favreau, Robert Rodriguez, and Kathleen Kennedy. Unfortunately, if you're waiting for the next season of The Mandalorian, that third season will arrive after The Book of Boba Fett.

'The Book of Boba Fett' wrapped up production for Dec. 2021 debut on Disney+

Fans of Star Wars and The Mandalorian have something to look forward to before the year ends. The Book of Boba Fett, which stars Temuera Morrison (Aquaman) as the titular character, has already wrapped up production and is scheduled for a December 2021 release ahead of The Mandalorian's third season premiere.

Morrison talked to SFX Magazine about the show without giving too much away. Gizmodo shared a quote from Morrison talking about how filming was like during the pandemic. He said: "You walk on set, and you hear, 'Shields down! Shields down!' So we have to air those studios out every 20 minutes. It's called a purge, so you know you've got a toilet break then. There's a lot to shoot in one day, but with health and safety and the requirements, it filters out a lot of the bullshit, put it that way."

Future Disney+ original series will come out on Wednesdays

Disney

After Disney moved up the release of Loki to a Wednesday instead of its usual Friday release, the company found that it became its most-watched premiere on the platform. And so, moving forward all-new original Disney series will come out on Wednesdays. So, the upcoming animated Monsters, Inc. series, Monsters at Work, will be moved up to July 2 from July 7. 

Highly anticipated Marvel titles like Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and Moon Knight weren't mentioned in the list, but you can expect these to come out on Wednesdays, too. However, original movies will continue to premiere on Friday, which means its shows and films will no longer have to compete for subscribers' attention.
