Disney+ on Wednesday announced that The Book of Boba Fett — LucasFilm‘s latest series that was first introduced in the end-credit sequence following the season two finale of The Mandalorian — is slated to premiere on Wednesday, December 29.
The series “finds legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett and mercenary Fennec Shand navigating the Galaxy’s underworld when they return to the sands of Tatooine to stake their claim on the territory once ruled by Jabba the Hutt and his crime syndicate,” according to Disney’s official synopsis.
Temuera Morrison will return in the role of Boba Fett and Ming-Na Wen will return as Fennec Shand. Wen first depicted her character in season one of The Mandalorian and later provided Shand’s voice in the animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch.
Morrision first entered the Star Wars franchise in the role of Jango Fett in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. He also voice acted for several Star Wars games before playing Boba in season two of The Mandalorian.
Dave Filoni, Robert Rodriguez, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson receive executive producer credits on The Book of Boba Fett. Karen Gilchrist and Carrie Beck are co-executive producers, with John Bartnicki producing and John Hampian as co-producer.
