Who wrote “Chapter 15: The Believer”?

“Chapter 15: The Believer” was written by Rick Famuyiwa. Famuyiwa also directed the episode, making him the single credited writer behind this seventh installment of The Mandalorian’s second season.

Released on December 11, 2020, the episode follows Din Djarin and Migs Mayfeld on the volcanic planet Morak. They infiltrate an Imperial rhydonium refinery to obtain coordinates to Moff Gideon’s ship. The mission forces Din to remove his helmet so he can access a facial-scan terminal, a major moment for a character whose creed forbids public helmet removal.

A common mix-up is confusing the episode’s writer with other major Mandalorian creators. Jon Favreau is the series creator and showrunner, while Dave Filoni is a prominent writer, director, and executive producer. Christopher Yost wrote other Star Wars projects, but not this episode. Famuyiwa had already directed earlier episodes and returned here as both writer and director.
