Suit up for another season of space-western adventures! The Star Wars spin-off series The Mandalorian is set to return to the roster of ongoing Disney+ shows. According to the franchise spokesperson, Season 3 has been in the works well before season 2 even aired.Â

“Sources close to the production have confirmed that creator Jon Favreau has been writing season 3 for a while, and that the art department, led by Lucasfilm vice president and executive creative director Doug Chiang, has been creating concepts for season 3 for the past few weeks,'” Variety reported. Favreau himself confirmed on GMA that production for season 3 will start right after The Book of Boba Fett, which is set to air in December 2021.

Anyway, the good and bad thing about The Mandalorian is that the production is adept at keeping secrets. Remember how no one even hinted about the existence of Baby Yoda before he showed up on screen? (That’s a really hard feat in this day and age, where you can find spoilers for just about anything.) And even after it was confirmed that Rosario Dawson joined the cast of the show, her character was kept under wraps for a while after that.

It’s no surprise, then, that no details about Favreau’s vision for season 3 have dribbled out yet. In fact, there’s still a lot of secrecy about the current season, even for the actors. Entertainment Weekly reports that “the heightened secrecy included actors getting scripts only for their own episodes and being ushered to sets in black cloaks and hoods like incognito Sith Lords.”
As stated above, the third season has not yet started production. However, according to the Film and Television Industry Alliance, as of January, the show was in pre-production, with a shoot day aimed for April 5, 2021. That means, we can likely expect the first part of the season 3 to air in early 2022.
