Development[]

By late April 2020, The Mandalorian creator and showrunner Jon Favreau had been writing a third season for "a while" and further development on the season was beginning.[4] That September, co-star Giancarlo Esposito said the second season would "start to lay the groundwork for the depth and breadth that's going to come in season 3 and season 4, where you're really gonna start to get answers."[5] After the second-season finale announced The Book of Boba Fett for December 2021, commentators speculated that the third season would be shifting focus from Din Djarin, The Mandalorian, to Boba Fett. Favreau soon clarified that The Book of Boba Fett was a separate spin-off series that was already in production in December 2020, with the third season of The Mandalorian again focusing on Djarin. He added that the third season was in pre-production, and filming would begin in 2021.[1] Co-star Carl Weathers will direct again in the season.[3]

Casting[]

Pedro Pascal stars in the series as The Mandalorian.[1] In November 2020, Esposito said he expected to be featured more prominently in the third season than previous ones.[6] Carl Weathers also returns as Greef Karga.[3]

Filming[]

Filming for the season began by October 13, 2021,[7] filming under the working title Buccaneer,[8] with David Klein serving as the cinematographer.[9] It had previously been expected to begin once filming for The Book of Boba Fett completed (which occurred in June 2021),[1][10] but was unable to as Obi-Wan Kenobi was utilizing the Los Angeles soundstages.[10] In July 2021, Esposito said the season would start filming "soon", and noted the production would not need to wait for Pascal to complete filming the HBO series The Last of Us, since The Mandalorian is primarily only seen in his helmet.[2] Regarding resuming filming during the COVID-19 pandemic, Favreau felt the series was in an advantageous situation, since many characters are in masks and the series employs "a lot of digital work that augments things", allowing the production to be flexible to adhere to filming protocols.[11] Filming is expected to last until March 23, 2022.[12]

The season is expected to be released in 2022 on Disney+.[13]
