Since its debut in 2019, The Mandalorian has become a fan favorite, giving us epic adventures with Din Djarin (aka Mando) and the adorable Grogu, aka Baby Yoda. After three exciting seasons, fans are buzzing about what’s next. Will there be a season four? What’s the deal with the movie?
Let’s dive into what we know so far about The Mandalorian Season 4. So stay tuned to the end.
Release Date: When Will Season 4 Be Released?
So, here’s the thing: The Mandalorian Season 4 hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, which might make fans a bit nervous. But before you start worrying, there’s a lot of promising information. In August 2024, at Disney’s D23 event, it was revealed that The Mandalorian & Grogu, a full-length movie, is already in production and is set to release in theaters on May 22, 2026. It’s clear that we’re not saying goodbye to our favorite duo anytime soon.
But what about season four? Well, here’s where things get tricky. Rumors are swirling that this movie could actually replace the fourth season. Director Jon Favreau had earlier mentioned that he was writing scripts for the new season back in 2022. However, due to various production delays, particularly from strikes in Hollywood, season four’s filming didn’t begin as planned.
Possible Scenarios:
- If The Mandalorian & Grogu movie is set after season three, the movie might serve as a grand conclusion, or it could tie into a fourth season later on.
- If Season 4 does happen before the movie, we could expect it in late 2025 or 2026, but nothing has been officially announced yet.
Why the Delay?
One of the main reasons behind the delay is the Hollywood strikes that impacted many productions in 2023. Filming for season four was supposed to start in September, but those plans fell apart. Now that the strikes have ended, fans are eagerly waiting for an update.
Even executive producer Rick Famuyiwa hinted that season four would eventually happen, but no one knows for sure when.

Who Will Be Back in Season 4?
While there’s no official confirmation, we can expect some familiar faces to return in season four, or even in the movie. Here are the most likely characters to come back:
- Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin (Mando): The show can’t exist without its lead, right? Though Pascal has kept quiet about whether he’s signed on, all signs point to his return.
- Grogu (Baby Yoda): This little green guy is the heart of the show, and there’s no way he’s going anywhere. In fact, Grogu was officially adopted as “Din Grogu” at the end of season three.
- Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan Kryze: After reclaiming Mandalore, Bo-Katan is in a strong position to lead her people. We’ll likely see more of her.
- Emily Swallow as The Armorer and Simon Kassianides as Axe Woves: These characters survived season three, so they’re bound to have bigger roles if season four happens.
Possible No-Shows:
- Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon: After his fiery defeat in the season three finale, Moff Gideon might not return—though, with Star Wars, you never know!
- Carl Weathers as Greef Karga: Sadly, Carl Weathers passed away, so his character, Greef Karga, won’t return.
What Could the Plot Be?
The season three finale of The Mandalorian left fans with a pretty clean slate. After defeating Moff Gideon, Din Djarin officially adopts Grogu as his son and starts training him as a Mandalorian apprentice. The duo returns to Nevarro, where they’re given a cozy cabin to live in, suggesting that Din might slow down his bounty-hunting adventures.
But don’t be fooled into thinking things will be peaceful for long. Din has told Carson Teva that he’s willing to take on assignments from the New Republic, but he’ll be more selective about which jobs he chooses. So, it looks like Mando and Grogu will still be fighting the good fight, just at their own pace.
What Could Happen in Season 4?
If season four takes place before the Mandalorian & Grogu movie, it will likely show Din and Grogu continuing their adventures, helping the New Republic and keeping peace across the galaxy. However, there’s a growing belief that the remnants of the Empire are still plotting in the shadows. Could Mando face a new villain rising from the ashes of the Empire?
Alternatively, season four could pick up after the events of the movie, which will likely wrap up many of the current storylines. If this happens, season four might explore new adventures in the Star Wars universe, or even spin-off into new shows.
Conclusion About Mandalorian Season 4: What’s Next?
At this point, it’s clear that fans have a lot to look forward to, whether it’s season four or the upcoming Mandalorian & Grogu movie. While we don’t have a firm release date for season four, it’s safe to say that the adventures of Din and Grogu are far from over. Whether they’re taking on new threats in season four or fighting on the big screen in 2026, this duo’s story is sure to keep us all hooked.
So, while we wait for more updates, now’s the perfect time to rewatch the first three seasons on Disney+ or if you’re feeling adventurous, dive into the expanded Star Wars universe. Either way, the galaxy far, far away will be calling again soon.
That’s it for now. Thanks for reading.
