Despite its massive fan following, the Star Wars franchise has experienced a dull period of late. A flurry of underwhelming projects has unfortunately left a sour taste in the mouths of long-time admirers. Nevertheless, The Mandalorian series has served as a beacon of hope for fans, re-establishing their faith in the franchise. The show originally debuted in 2019, with the series expanding its narrative with two follow-up seasons. However, as per recent speculations, there are high chances that The Mandalorian Season 4 might never see the light of day.
The Mandalorian Season 4 not happening, movie rumored to end the franchise
The accredited Star Wars series will reportedly conclude after The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, leaving no room for a fourth season.
The update was first reported by renowned industry insider Daniel Richtman, or DanielRPK. Talking about the possibility of Season 4, Richtman stated that The Mandalorian & Grogu would be the ultimate addition to the acclaimed series. “I have also confirmed the Mandalorian movie will be the final chapter of the show, no season 4,” Richtman said, as per The Direct. “He will be in other projects after that but ‘The Mandalorian’ will be over,” the scooper added.
This development could come as a surprise to many as The Mandalorian showrunner Jon Favreau himself provided positive updates regarding Season 4 in February 2023. “Season 4? Yea, I’ve written it already,” Favreau stated. “We have to know where we are going to tell a fully formed story,” he added.
However, an account by The Hollywood Reporter later disclosed that things were getting re-evaluated at Disney. The news was confirmed shortly afterward with the official announcement of The Mandalorian & Grogu movie.
Therefore, the likelihood of The Mandalorian receiving a Season 4 has diminished significantly. However, Pedro Pascal’s character is expected to continue its run in the franchise through other Star Wars projects. He could perhaps make an appearance in the upcoming Ahsoka Season 2 or Dave Filoni’s eventual Star Wars movie. Having said that, Mandalorian’s future in the franchise is currently hanging in the balance.
