Star Wars: Book of Boba Fett Season 1 Has Fewer Episodes Than Expected

The Book of Boba Fett will continue the story of Temuera Morrison's titular bounty hunter after his epic return in The Mandalorian Season 2. Developed by The Mandalorian showrunners Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, and director Robert Rodriguez, the upcoming Star Wars series picks up right after the post-credits scene of the aforementioned show, exploring Boba Fett's takeover of the galactic underworld alongside Ming-Na Wen's Fennec Shand. 

Marketing for the crime-themed series is well underway as it inches closer to its December release. The first trailer gave fans a preview of the show's hard-hitting action as well as the challenges that Fett and Shand will need to overcome during the aftermath of the Hutt regime. 

Favreau also shared exciting details about The Book of Boba Fett, with him teasing that Morrison's character will utilize his "barbarian mode" at some point in the narrative. 

Now, to anticipate its upcoming release, the official episode count has been unveiled. 

How Many Episodes Is Book of Boba Fett?

Star Wars officially confirmed that The Book of Boba Fett will have seven episodes during its debut season in an official Tweet:  

"Witness the rise of Boba Fett and Fennec Shand in one month. The Book of BobaFett, a seven-episode Original Series, begins December 29 on Disney+. #TheBookOfBobaFett"

This episode count is one installment shorter than The Mandalorian since the Pedro Pascal-led series had eight episodes each during its first two seasons.
