is giving us new Star Wars adventures with landing on available each but you might be wondering when Mando and Grogu (aka ) will return for more adventures. The Mandalorian season 3 will kick off in 2023, and the hints at where the shiny dad/green son duo’s story will go after their earlier this year.
Let’s take a look at where Mando’s adventures, which take place five years after , are likely to go next. We’ll be diving into full SPOILER territory for the first two seasons and The Book of Boba Fett, so be warned if you aren’t up to date.
Is there a Mandalorian season 3 trailer?

When is season 3 coming to Disney Plus?
It’s scheduled to arrive , as revealed during Celebration Anaheim, TRAVESTIS SP but we don’t have an exact release date yet. Since new episodes of Disney Plus shows generally come on Wednesdays, the season 3 premiere will likely come on Feb. 1, Feb. 8, Feb. 16 or Feb. 23.
However, the month was conspicuously absent from the trailer released in September. It suggests that the show’s release date could slip out of February, especially since season 2 of CGI animated series was pushed from to . Disney may not want to have two Star Wars shows airing at once for fear of oversaturating the service, so Mando’s return may come after The Bad Batch season 2 finale airs.
It might still arrive in February, since actor Carl Weathers in Sept. 20 tweet.

The company didn’t respond to CNET’s request for comment about the release date.
What else do we know about season 3?
The trailers hinted that we’ll be going to Mandalore, a world we’ve previously seen only in animated shows and , along with in The Book of Boba Fett. It’s been ruined by the Empire, but Mando must return to the planet to atone for removing his helmet.
There’s some tension between Mando and Bo-Katan at first, but a mutual respect soon develops.

Grogu is along for the ride, and still ridiculously cute. Former Mandalorian leader Bo-Katan Kryze has a regal moment sitting on a throne similar to the one in Mandalorian capital Sundari. (This room in the final episodes of The Clone Wars.) Mando allies the Armorer and Greef Karga will also return.
Action sequences included massive Imperial Star Destroyers and suggested that Mando will lead some of his fellow Mandalorians into battle.

Disney’s Galactic Starcruiser: What It’s Really Like…
The second season ended with Luke Skywalker for Jedi training and a teasing Boba Fett’s show. It initially seemed like the bounty hunter’s solo show would tell a . However, the narrative shifted to and in the last few episodes — the pair reunited after the little guy rejected Luke’s training and .
During season 2, Mando (real name Din Djarin) also ran into another group of Mandalorians, led by Bo-Katan. She was on a mission to retake their home-world Mandalore and get (a Mandalorian symbol of leadership) back from Moff Gideon. In the season finale, Mando took possession of the Darksaber and inadvertently became the leader of the Mandalorians.
It seems likely that he’ll join Bo-Katan’s mission to some degree, but the Darksaber will remain a source of tension.
Moff Gideon shows off the Darksaber, which he lost in the season 2 finale.

We also found out that Mando isn’t a typical Mandalorian. Bo-Katan revealed that he’s a Child of the Watch, a “cult of religious zealots that broke away from Mandalorian society.” That’s why he isn’t supposed to remove his helmet and reveal his face to anyone. But he gradually became more open to during the first two seasons, and admitting that to his fellow Children of the Watch — led by the Armorer — got him .
Beloved actor Christopher Lloyd will also (which likely means he’ll be in one or two episodes), according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Boba Fett has his own show now, so he might be too busy to show up in The Mandalorian season 3.

What’s the deal with Boba Fett?
The closing shot of season 2’s first episode revealed a mysterious man () watching Mando from afar. He appears to be wearing Tusken Raider gear, and then he turns around, revealing the face of Boba Fett — the bounty hunter who fell into the sarlacc pit in Return of the Jedi.
The Mandalorian armor that Cobb Vanth () was wearing in the episode was Boba’s, and he tracked Mando until he could reclaim it in the season’s .
After helping Mando rescue Grogu from the Imperial Remnant in the , a revealed Boba’s next move: seizing power in Tatooine’s criminal underworld, leading directly into spinoff show .

Morrison played bounty hunter Jango Fett in and also portrayed the clone troopers in that movie and . Jango was recruited by Count Dooku to serve as the genetic template for the clone army used by the Galactic Republic, as part of Darth Sidious’ convoluted plot to wipe out the Jedi. Part of Jango’s payment was an unaltered clone that he could raise as his son — Boba — but the elder Fett was killed during the Battle of Geonosis.
The younger Fett was played by in Attack of the Clones and The Clone Wars, but The Mandalorian takes place decades later, and a grown-up Boba would look identical to Jango.
