The Mandalorian, the juggernaut Star Wars series that reignited our love for bounty hunters and adorable Force-wielding creatures, has left fans hungry for more. There are a lot of lingering questions in the minds of the viewers.
While a confirmed season 4 announcement remains elusive, whispers and educated guesses abound. At this point, it seems like it’s nothing but a waiting game right now. Until we receive details from the showrunners, there’s no confirmation of what’s next.
Let us dive into further details about Mandalorian Season 4 and what you can potentially expect from the new season.
When is Mandalorian Season 4 Releasing?
The actual release date of the fourth season is shrouded in mystery. The season 3 finale arrived in April 2023, and since then, there’s been a deafening silence from Lucasfilm and Disney.
Production hiccups due to the Hollywood strikes last year likely pushed back filming.
Originally slated for a September 2023 start, filming may have been delayed further. An interesting wrinkle emerged in January 2024.
Instead of a season 4 announcement, the Star Wars universe surprised fans with the reveal of “The Mandalorian & Grogu,” a feature film.
This project is rumored to begin production in June 2024. Could this movie replace season 4 entirely, or will they coexist? Only time will tell.
What can we expect from Mandalorian Season 4?
While concrete plot details are under wraps, some educated guesses can be made based on season 3’s conclusion and lingering storylines. Before everything, we’d recommend that you watch the first three seasons before the fourth season is here.
Season 3 saw Grogu reunite with Luke Skywalker to continue his Jedi training. This separation paves the way for Din Djarin’s solo adventures, a return to his bounty-hunting roots perhaps. However, their bond is undeniable, and Grogu’s return is a possibility, especially if he faces unforeseen challenges or completes his training sooner than expected.
Din Djarin’s adherence to the creed, particularly the controversial removal of his helmet, could be a central conflict.
Other Mandalorians may challenge his right to wear the Beskar if they deem him to have strayed from the code.
This internal struggle could force him to choose between his beliefs and forging his path.
The season 3 finale hinted at a connection to the upcoming New Republic feature film with the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn.
Mando could become entangled in the fight against Thrawn’s forces, leading him on a grander adventure across the galaxy.
These are just a few possibilities, and the writers could take the story in entirely new directions. One thing’s for certain: Din Djarin’s journey will be fraught with danger, self-discovery, and the ever-present possibility of reuniting with Grogu.
Who is returning to Mandalorian Season 4?
When the show is renewed for a fourth season, there are rumors that it would most likely return with the cast from the past seasons, including:
- Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin/Mandalorian
- Carl Weathers as Greef Carga
- Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan Kryze
- Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon
