Fans of the Star Wars universe have reason to celebrate as a second season of “The Book of Boba Fett” has been greenlit. This time, the beloved bounty hunter Dengar, a character from Star Wars Legends, will be making his much-anticipated return to the screen. Many will remember Dengar from his brief yet memorable appearance in “The Empire Strikes Back”, and his inclusion is sure to delight long-time fans of the franchise.

Lucasfilm has hinted that this season will draw inspiration from the acclaimed Star Wars Legends book series “The Bounty Hunter Wars”, much like the first season did to explain Boba Fett’s dramatic escape from the sarlacc pit. Dengar played a pivotal role in those stories, promising to add depth to the narrative as the series continues to explore the intricate world of bounty hunters.

Temuera Morrison will reprise his role as Boba Fett, with Tom Hardy stepping into the shoes of Dengar. The creative team behind the series remains intact, with John Favreau and Dave Filoni returning as writers, while Robert Rodriguez takes the helm as director once again.

Production is set to kick off later this year, with the series aiming for a late 2026 release on Disney Plus. While details about the plot remain scarce, early reports suggest that the season will primarily unfold on Tatooine, delving deeper into the complex planetary dynamics of the Pike Syndicate and the Tusken Raiders.

As anticipation builds, fans are eager to see how these beloved characters and storylines will be woven into the rich tapestry of the Star Wars galaxy. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the production start date!
