The Mandalorian season 3: news, cast, plot, and more

The Mandalorian season 3 looks likely to be arriving on Disney Plus around the end of the year, though that’s not confirmed just yet. While it’s been a while since the second season, The Book of Boba Fett picked up on some key plot points revolving around Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin and his tiny green charge Grogu, so we can expect to see our favorite duo together once more in the next batch of episodes.
We’ve rounded up absolutely everything else there is to know about the upcoming season right here, with the lowdown on who’s who in the cast, updates on filming (production has wrapped), along with where the plot could go next and when we might finally see a trailer – and even quotes from executive producer Dave Filoni and Moff Gideon actor Giancarlo Esposito. That’s just the start, too, so scroll on for the ultimate guide to The Mandalorian season 3. This is the way!
The Mandalorian season 3 release date could be December 2022

However, conversely, Disney has confirmed that Andor and the Obi-Wan Kenobi series will both arrive in 2022 – but did not add anything about The Mandalorian season 3. Could the show come in 2023? Hopefully, we will get some official clarification very soon.
The Mandalorian season 3 cast

Carl Weathers is back as Greef Karga, and will also be directing again, as he confirmed at Steel City Con. After The Mandalorian season 2 ending, we can expect Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan to return, especially with how the Darksaber is now in Din’s hands. Rosario Dawson’s Ahsoka could be back, though she also has an upcoming spin-off and her status remains unclear after her cameo in The Book of Boba Fett.
Back to the Future’s Christopher Lloyd has also joined the line-up in a mystery role. 
Meanwhile, Sasha Banks, AKA Mercedes Varnado, has confirmed that she will not be returning as Koska Reeves in season 3. 
Another person who will definitely not be appearing in the series is Gina Carano’s Cara Dune. The general consensus was that she would be one of the main characters in the Rangers of the New Republic spin-off. However, LucasFilm has cut all ties with Carano following her social media activity. She will therefore not be appearing in The Mandalorian season 3 and the Rangers of the New Republic spin-off has reportedly been canceled.
But what about Migs Mayfeld, played by Bill Burr? Talking about season 3 with Screen Rant, the actor said: “Oh, I hope so. Jon Favreau and Rick Famuyiwa, who wrote both of my episodes that I did – to be a small part of something that big that is that good that means so much to so many people. I’m obviously not allowed to say anything other than I just absolutely love being on that show and I hope it continues and if it doesn’t, I’ve had a blast.”

The Mandalorian season 3 story: What could happen next?

The Mandalorian season 3 could deal with a whole host of narrative threads, just waiting to be tied up.
Among them, Mando and Bo-Katan’s claim for the Darksaber appears to be top of the list. During Chapter 16, Din inadvertently claimed the Mandalore weapon as his own by defeating Moff Gideon in combat. This meant that Bo-Katan, who wanted to reclaim it from Gideon, would now have to beat Mando in combat. There seemed to be a plot hole stemming from The Clone Wars which saw Sabine Wren literally hand over the Darksaber to Bo-Katan without any issues, but The Book of Boba Fett cleared that up. Bo-Katan’s reign of Mandalore ended with disaster, and the Armorer believes it’s all down to Bo-Katan being gifted the Darksaber rather than winning it. It seems Din is keen on keeping the weapon, though, using it in pursuit of a bounty – and getting some training from the Armorer on how to use it. 
Another major plot point revolves around Grogu reuniting with Din. The Book of Boba Fett saw Baby Yoda caught at a crossroads between becoming a Jedi or staying with Papa Mando, though he chose the latter. It will be intriguing to see if the youngling has any second thoughts, or if Luke Skywalker will further factor into The Mandalorian.
It does seem that Grogu’s powers will indeed continue to be a major part of The Mandalorian. Moff Gideon actor Giancarlo Esposito gave a hint as to why the villain wants to get hold of Baby Yoda so much: “I am going to get this child, and it’s for a very different reason than many people think,” he said at GalaxyCon. “This child has magic powers, 50 years old, and can see the future, and we want everyone to know, eventually on this show, that this child could save our universe.” If that’s the case, then it makes sense the Empire are still after the Child – and also makes it likely we’ll be seeing the little green guy again. 
Esposito also joked: “You’re going to see me kill this baby. [Laughs] How about that? It’s totally wrong, but you know what, I’ve got to hold out somewhere that I’m going to win.” Here’s hoping that doesn’t come to pass…
The actor has also indicated his character will still be a formidable foe. “He is that uber villain who is all-powerful and who knows all about the technology and all these other things. So suffice to say, you will see Moff again… and soon,” he told Metro.co.uk.
While Gideon is no longer at large, he seemingly has one last plan left to play. Throughout the season, he has clearly been fed information from an unknown source, and it’s something he explicitly brings up during the season 2 finale. It wouldn’t be a surprise if the new season on Disney Plus explores that connection further. Could it be Thrawn? Or does the Empire have another major player we don’t know about it?
