Despite Season 2 not airing later this year on Disney Plus, season 3 of the Disney Plus Star Wars smash hit has started pre-production, according to a new report. Creator Jon Favreau has been writing the next season of the show “for a while”, and Lucasfilm’s world-class art department apparently started working on season 3 as of April 20.
Our best guess is The Mandalorian Season 3 will aim for a similar release date as its preceding two seasons – probably Oct/ Nov 2021.
The Disney + series centered on the character, The Mandalorian, who is a bounty hunter and his achievements that are behind the limits of the New Republic, is a space Western Series made by Jon Favreau for Disney +.
The first season of The Mandalorian released at the time of the launch of Disney+ on Nov 2019 consisting of 8 episodes. Season 2 has completed filming, so it’s set to stream on Disney Plus starting in October 2020 and seemingly won’t be affected by real-world events as filming wrapped – at least according to Gina Carano’s Instagram post – in early March.
At this early stage, we don’t know what to expect from season 3 – other than Mando himself and The Child (aka Baby Yoda) will probably be back. Season 2, meanwhile, will introduce a handful of new characters. Michael Biehn will play a bounty hunter with ties to The Mandalorian, while Rosario Dawson has been heavily linked to the role of Ahsoka Tano. Jamie Lee Curtis, meanwhile, may have been hanging around the set too according to a recent rumor.
Whether they’ll make it to season 3 is anyone’s guess, but it’s nice to have early (if not yet official) confirmation that there will be a third chapter for the Star Wars spin-off series.
