From Ars Technica:
“ SpaceX announced on Friday that the company is targeting "mid-November" for the second flight test of the Super Heavy rocket and its Starship upper stage.”

Exciting stuff!

This looks like good timing will be required too,

One notable change is the addition of a "hot staging" ring between the Super Heavy booster and the Starship upper stage. This technique will call for the Starship's Raptor engines to ignite before the upper stage separates from the Super Heavy first stage.
