Star Wars fans will have to wait for the second season of The Mandalorian, but a new documentary series about the hit Disney+ show is set to hit screens next month.
Lucasfilm have announced the launch of Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian on May 4 – known internationally as Star Wars Day – giving fans a behind the scenes look at the making of the first live-action Star Wars television series.
The eight-episode series will be hosted by Mandalorian creator and executive producer Jon Favreau, and include unseen material and round-table discussions with those involved with the Disney+ show. Lucasfilm revealed that each episode will examine a "different facet" of the series.

Kiwi filmmaker Taika Waititi may feature in the new docuseries given the Oscar-winning director of Jojo Rabbit also oversaw an episode of The Mandalorian and voiced the character IG-11, a bounty-hunting droid.
