Disney CEO Bob Chapek has revealed that the upcoming second season of Disney+'s The Mandalorian will not be delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Most TV and film productions around the world have been brought to a halt by the deadly disease, which has seen many countries enter lockdown in an effort to slow the spread.
Star Wars spinoff The Mandalorian is not a casualty of the shutdown, however, with filming having already wrapped earlier in the year.
"We've been in post [production]," Chapek told CNBC. "There'll be no delays on Mandalorian.
"We have a certain amount of inventory for Disney+ that is fuelling the machine.
"Pre-production – the development phase – can still happen during these times of lockdown, post-production can still happen."
The Mandalorian season two is due for release on the streaming service in October.
