The Mandalorian season 3 is a highly anticipated release on Disney+. Fans of the hit live-action Star Wars series got a taste of what’s next for Mando and Grogu’s story when they were folded into the plot of The Book of Boba Fett.
Some of the questions viewers had after the season 2 finale of their show were resolved in the spin-off, allowing for a new adventure for the pair that will likely deal with the culture clash between the Jedi and the Mandalorians.
Their three episode arc that pulled focus from The Book of Boba Fett‘s main story, shifted what fans initially thought season 3 would center on i.e. Mando and Grogu’s separation. However, we do expect the darksaber and the consequences of Mando removing his helmet to play a large role.
When will fans of The Mandalorian see the third season premiere? Here’s what we know!
Has The Mandalorian season 3 finished filming?
Comicbook.com reports that filming has wrapped on season 3. There’s yet to be confirmation from Lucasfilm or Disney+. The report cites Star Wars Stuff, a Twitter fan account whose announcement of the news was shared by The Mandalorian star Carl Weathers.

Does The Mandalorian season 3 have a release date?
A release date for The Mandalorian season 3 has yet to be announced. Dork Side of the Force previously reported that the next installment of Mando and Grogu’s story could come in time for Christmas 2022.
If it’s true that filming has wrapped on the third season, that’s a post-production/release window that could work for the series. Typically, post-production on a series runs between six to eight months, and it can be longer for shows that are special effects heavy.
We’ll keep you posted on more The Mandalorian season 3 news as it comes in. We should note that Andor‘s rumored fall release date could impact whether or not we see the third season in 2022. Stay tuned to Dork Side of the Force!
