Spoilers for 'The Mandalorian' Season 2

With 'The Mandalorian' Season 2 ending with a blast, the next adventure will see Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin resume his adventures in the Galaxy and this time he will be without Baby Yoda/Grogu by his side. In the final minutes of the episode, Luke Skywalker makes a grand appearance and then takes Grogu under his care. This might break the hearts of Mando and Grogu fans, but his mission is now complete as the foundling is now under the care of a legendary Jedi.

The new season is already confirmed and here's everything we know about it so far:

Release date

The next season was slated to release on Christmas Day 2021. Whether this means the release will land on December 25 is a question, since 'The Mandalorian' has dropped this season on a Friday. In this case, we might be looking at a December 24 release

Plot

Speaking to People, Giancarlo Esposito, who plays Moff Gideon hinted at what's in store for Season 3: "We’re living in a universe that is huge and [that has] so much to explore. So I think this show is going to start to lay the groundwork for the depth and breadth that’s going to come in season three and season four, where you’re really gonna start to get answers." The show will most likely have a crossover with 'Ahsoka' and 'Rangers of the New Republic'.

Cast

Pedro Pascal is the only character confirmed to reprise his role as Din Djarin. By the looks of it, Gina Carano and Carl Weathers might be around too. Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) and Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) will be seen next in 'The Book of Boba Fett' releasing on December 2021

Writers/Directors

Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau will return as the creators. The directors for each episode are yet to be revealed.

Trailer

There is no trailer for the new season. Watch this space for more updates as we'll update this section soon as the trailer lands.
