The runtime of The Mandalorian's next episode has been revealed, and it's on the shorter side. The show has seen varied runtimes throughout its first two seasons, with the shortest being "Chapter 2: The Child." That episode clocked in at just 33 minutes. Conversely, season 2 has given us the series' longest episode yet, with the premiere hitting the 55-minute mark.
The show's second season has been on a roll since its premiere. Fans have got Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) have both been brought to life this season. In episode five, Ahsoka's appearance is praised for its contained story, which also significantly helped expand the show's mythology. That episode clocked in at just over 45 minutes.
According to Star Wars News, the next episode of The Mandalorian will clock in at a brisk 32 minutes. The episode is one of the series' shortest yet. Still, it's just one of three episodes left in the season. The source also correctly predicted the length of Ahsoka's debut episode, so it's likely accurate.
Luckily, episode runtimes are not indicators of quality for The Mandalorian. Some of its shorter episodes have been some of their most jam-packed, with "Chapter 11: The Heiress" being a particular standout and only running 36 minutes. With only three episodes left in Season 2, audiences may be disappointed by the short running time. Still, there are three episodes left, and if the show continues the first season's pattern, the third to last episode will bridge the gap between the beginning of the season and the end of the season.
The first season's final two episodes were a two-part narrative, and those episodes were the length of typical, hour-long television episodes. The Mandalorian is building to something big. Mando and Grogu are on their way to Tython to potentially meet with another mysterious Jedi. There is sure to be tons of action and excitement, and the sixth episode's short runtime is by no means an indicator of the rest of the season. Right now, the show is on track to eclipse the previous season's total runtime. If the beginning of the season (and its high-flying action) is any indication, the final three episodes are sure to be just as thrilling.
