The first season of The Mandalorian saw Bill Burr’s Mayfield seemingly face his grim demise following a fateful encounter with the titular character, but a new report from Making Star Wars claims that Burr is returning for Season Two of the series, likely for a flashback sequence. The report also claims that The Terminator and Aliens star Michael Biehn is joining the fold as a figure from the Mandalorian’s past, with it also being unclear if he exists solely in the bounty hunter’s past or if he emerges to face the figure in the present. Season Two of The Mandalorian is slated to hit Disney+ in October.

Fans will likely be surprised to see Burr return to the series, especially given his apprehension around the entire Star Wars franchise. The actor previously revealed that he had made it a habit of mocking fans of the series prior to joining it himself.

 

“This is the thing, I’ve never been a sci-fi…I like Blade Runner, there was a movie Sam Rockwell did called ‘Moon,’ I like that sort of dark, creepy, Stanley Kubrick [2001: A Space Odyssey], I like that, I was never into the Star Wars thing,” Burr shared on The Rich Eisen Show. “By the time I saw it, I was just too old, they had like Ewoks and stuff, and I wanted to see Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I missed the boat so I never got on it and I’ve religiously made fun of every one of them that came out. Just teasing, just because people are excited. I’m a jerk, I see people get excited about something and I just make fun of it.”
