The Mandalorian season 2 is coming in October 2020, Disney revealed today in an earnings call. The Star Wars TV show was previously given a 'US fall 2020' release date, but this confirms when we'll next be getting a piece of Baby Yoda.

In addition, Disney's Bob Iger cryptically hinted at spin-offs from the show. He framed this as "including the possibility of infusing it with more characters and taking those characters in their own direction in terms of series," according to THR.

Along with new Mandalorian-based content, Disney's CEO also confirmed that Ewan McGregor's Obi Wan series and Diego Luna's Rogue One prequel were still in the works for the service, though no release dates were offered at the time.

Marvel at these release windows

We'd previously heard reports that Marvel's Disney Plus series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier would be arriving in August, and we now have confirmation straight from the mouth of Disney's CEO that this will indeed be the case. 

While it'd already been revealed that Disney Plus' WandaVision would be arriving on the service sometime in 2020, the earning call has now confirmed a December release date for the Vision and Scarlet Witch-starring sitcom. Tom Hiddleston will also reprise his role as Loki in a time-hopping standalone series in 2021. 

We hope you're not suffering from superhero fatigue, because according to Iger, "There are seven other Marvel series in various stages of development or preproduction," including She-Hulk, Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight and the animated anthology series What If?

Latest Tech News

Back at CES, Sony announced the new entry-level X800H and mid-range X950H TV sets that will replace last year’s X800G and X950G screens. 

What the company didn’t announce, until today, is that even the cheapest of these new ranges is going to be pretty expensive. 

In a press release today Sony laid out the entire pricing structure of both series, which starts at $699 (around £530, AU$1,040) for the 43-inch X800H, and confirmed some of the series’ key specs in an email to TechRadar. 

To that end, Sony’s 2020 lineup starts off with the Sony X800H, available in six sizes from 43-inches up to 85-inches, that uses the company’s X1 Processor. 

In terms of features, it’s 4K HDR capable and comes stocked with Android TV and Google Assistant. From the specs it sounds like a fairly basic entry-level TV – albeit one with Sony’s exceptional X1 Processor – but, again, it's $699 (around £530, AU$1,040) and that's just for the 43-inch version. 

The 55-inch will come in at $999 (around £760, AU$1,500) while the 65-inch and 75-inch come in at $1,199 and $1,799, respectively, and the range-topping 85-inch X800H at $2,699 (around £2,070, AU$4,000). 

The Sony X950H is upper middle class

There’s also Sony’s new X950H TV coming later this year for your wallet, too – it’s available in a number of sizes from 49-inches up to 85-inches with the bottom of the range costing $1,199 (around £920, AU$1,780) and the top model set at $4,999 (around £3,800, AU$7,400).

The good news is that, at least for the X950H, Sony is making a number of improvements that justify the price tag like the expansion of X-Wide Angle technology to the 55- and 65-inch models and improved Acoustic Multi-Audio, one of the biggest issues we had with last year’s X950G.

Both the X800H and X950H are available to pre-order on Amazon and should be released in stores across the US on February 10, 2020. Availability in other regions is as yet unconfirmed.

What’s a 4K TV supposed to cost?  

Now, obviously, calling something like a Sony 4K TV ‘expensive’ is subjective: what’s expensive for you isn’t necessarily expensive for your neighbor and vice versa. 

That said, we’ve entered the age of budget TVs where it’s entirely possible to pick up a 65-inch 4K TV for under $500/£500/AU$1,000 during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. While these aren’t always the highest-end models that come stocked with X1 Processors or Android TV, some of them look surprisingly good. 

The point here is that, as TVs are getting cheaper elsewhere in the industry, Sony is trying to hold the middle ground and compete in the higher-end space with LG and Samsung. It's by no means a bad place to be – there's always an audience for people who want a decent TV without breaking the bank – but Sony needs to be careful that it doesn't tread too far above the middle of the pack.
