After over a year and a half of waiting, fans of The Mandalorian on Disney+ finally have reason to hope for a Season 4.
While Lucasfilm announced the theatrical release of The Mandalorian & Grogu set for May 22, 2026, there’s news that the streaming series could still continue after the movie.
A report from The InSneider revealed that The Mandalorian Season 4 is “in development,” despite previous reports suggesting that Disney had shifted priorities to focus solely on the movie.
A Shift in Plans for The Mandalorian Season 4
Scripts for The Mandalorian Season 4 were reportedly completed before the 2023 Hollywood strikes.
However, in January 2024, The Hollywood Reporter stated that Disney and Lucasfilm had decided to prioritize The Mandalorian & Grogu, potentially sidelining Season 4.
According to new updates, the story planned for Season 4 may not be abandoned altogether.
Instead, the movie’s success at the box office could determine whether Disney returns Din Djarin and Grogu to the Disney+ streaming platform.
The Impact of The Mandalorian & Grogu Movie
The upcoming The Mandalorian & Grogu film will serve as a significant test for the franchise’s future.
If the movie performs well, Disney might continue the story through theatrical sequels, leaving Season 4 in limbo. On the other hand, a lackluster box office reception could push Disney back to the series format.
The connection between the planned Season 4 scripts and the upcoming movie is still unclear. It’s unknown whether the movie will use those original storylines or explore a completely new narrative set in the same timeline.
The MandoVerse Lives On
While The Mandalorian Season 4 remains uncertain, the Star Wars universe continues to expand. Disney+ is exploring the same era with Skeleton Crew and the upcoming Ahsoka Season 2, expected to premiere in summer 2026.
For now, the future of Din Djarin and Grogu depends on the reception of their big-screen adventure. Whether fans see them next in a movie sequel or back on Disney+, one thing is clear—the MandoVerse is far from over.
