The Mandalorian season 3 has finally been given a concrete release date onDisney Plus– and it’s only slightly later than expected.
TheStar Wars TV showwill make its return to our screens on March 1, 2023, having originally been slated for release sometime in February. Season 3’s official release date was revealed at Brazil Comic-Con alongside new set images and an extended version of the already released teaser trailer,which reportedly shows Grogu using the force.
The Mandalorian season 3will pick up directly after the events ofThe Book of Boba Fett– but if you don’t want those events spoiled for you, we suggest navigating away from this page quicker than the Millenium Falcon in hyperspace.
Based on the upcoming season’s first teaser trailer (below), we know that new episodes of the Pedro Pascal-starring series will find Mando and Grogu reunited but more alone than ever. As ever, you’l be able towatch The Mandalorian season 3 on Disney Plus.
Full spoilers follow for The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian season 3’s plot.
After going their separate ways at the end ofThe Mandalorian season 2, the pair came together again inThe Book of Boba Fett episode 5, when Grogu decided to abandon his Jedi training with Luke Skywalker in favor of travelling the galaxy with his heavily armored companion.
In The Mandalorian season 3, then, it’ll be just like old times for Mando and Grogu – except it won’t. The former removed his helmet in The Book of Boba Fett and, in doing so, severed all remaining ties to his Mandalorian brotherhood. Head honcho Bo-Katan is subsequently on his case, and we expect this tension to form the narrative lynchpin of the new season.

There are several additional plot threads that The Mandalorian season 3 could tie up, too, including those concerning the still mysteriousDarksaberand the Empire’s shady use of Grogu’s magical blood. We know thatour little green friend will be flexing even more Force-based powersin the show’s new episodes, so we’re excited to see how powerful he’s become.
“This child has magic powers, [is] 50 years old, and can see the future,” Giancarlo Esposito (who plays villain Moff Gideon) told a young fan at GalaxyCon (viaSlashFilm), “and we want everyone to know, eventually on this show, that [Grogu] could save our universe.”
In other words, we’re expecting events to ramp up a notch in The Mandalorian season 3. Here’s hoping the show can maintain its winning formula and continue the hot streak established by its most recentStar Wars-set sibling,Andor, which we described in our review as “possibly the best Star Wars show yet" (making it, by extension, one of thebest Disney Plus TV showswe’ve seen so far).
Here’s that all-important release date news one last time: The Mandalorian season 3 lands onDisney Pluson March 1, 2023.
