Will There Be a “The Mandalorian Season 4”?
Showrunner Jon Favreau has confirmed speculations surrounding Season 4. However, following the announcement of The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, the future of the fourth installment has become uncertain.
Despite Season 3’s debut in 2023, no official word has surfaced regarding Season 4. Favreau had hinted at a fourth season as early as 2022.
Release Dates for “The Mandalorian Season 4”
While Disney unveiled a lineup of series slated for 2024, release dates for The Mandalorian Season 4 remained undisclosed. Speculation suggests filming may have been delayed due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, but no updates followed the strike’s resolution.
Executive producer Rick Famuyiwo offered a potential update on the series’ fourth installment, stating:
“I know that Jon has written the scripts. I know he’s excited about continuing to tell stories in this world, and so when and how that happens, considering everything, we’ll see. It’s certainly coming. I just don’t know exactly when.”
However, Famuyiwo’s remarks have led to speculation regarding the announced film, The Mandalorian & Grogu.
In the same interview, Famuyiwo confirmed a fourth season while discussing the show’s future:
“I mean look I don’t think it’s a secret that Jon Favreau is excited about continuing to tell stories, he’s written season 4. I’d be surprised if they suddenly halted production altogether at this stage. However, the way shows are assembled and the entire process surrounding them is already well underway. I’m aware they’re heavily involved in initiating the preparation and pre-production phases. Now exactly when it goes to the lens and things start to shoot, I don’t know…”
