Favreau Says 'The Mandalorian' Season 4 Is Written as Lucasfilm Moves Din and Grogu to Theaters

Favreau says season four scripts exist, reflecting a pivot to a purpose-built theatrical film.

Overview

  • Jon Favreau tells Empire Magazine he completed scripts for a full fourth season and still has them on his desk.
  • The Mandalorian and Grogu was written from the ground up with a feature-film structure rather than reworked TV episodes.
  • Disney/Lucasfilm have shifted priority toward theatrical Star Wars projects, making a near-term Disney+ Season 4 unlikely.
  • The Mandalorian and Grogu is slated for a May 22, 2026 theatrical release with Pedro Pascal, Jeremy Allen White, and Sigourney Weaver attached.
  • Reporting indicates the film is intended to be accessible to newcomers while connecting to ongoing storylines such as Ahsoka Season 2, and future format decisions could hinge on box-office results.
