While the wait for The Mandalorian & Grogu continues until May 22, 2026, there’s already news stirring about Season 4. Jon Favreau, the mastermind behind the series, has confirmed that he’s already written the script for the fourth season, ensuring that the Mandalorian saga continues seamlessly—if it ever gets released.
Jon Favreau Confirms the Script is Complete
In a recent interview with the French entertainment news program BFMTV INSIDE, Favreau shared that he had finished writing Season 4’s script during post-production of Season 3. His reasoning? Consistency.
“Season 4? Yeah, I’ve written it already. We have to know where we are going to tell a fully formed story. So, we had mapped it out, Dave [Filoni] and I. And then slowly you just write each episode. So I was writing it during post-production, because all of it has to feel like a continuation and one full story.” – Jon Favreau
With Filoni’s influence and the wider Mandoverse at play, it’s clear that the next season isn’t just a continuation but a crucial puzzle piece for the broader Star Wars narrative.
How Season 4 Fits Into the Mandoverse
The Mandalorian has grown beyond a standalone adventure—it’s now a key part of the interconnected Star Wars timeline. With shows like Ahsoka, Skeleton Crew, and future Filoni-directed movies tying into the same universe, Season 4 will likely bridge multiple storylines.
Some key questions remain:
- How will Din Djarin and Grogu’s journey evolve?
- Will Thrawn’s presence loom larger in Season 4?
- What role will other characters from the Mandoverse play?
- How will it set up Dave Filoni’s upcoming Star Wars movie?
Season 4 Will Follow The Mandalorian & Grogu—If It Happens
Before Season 4 arrives, audiences will get The Mandalorian & Grogu, a film directed by Favreau and set to release in May 2026. This project could significantly shape the future of Season 4, setting up major character arcs and story beats. However, there is no guarantee that Season 4 will be greenlit or released, depending on how the movie performs.
Favreau’s mention of “one full story” suggests that the narrative is deeply interconnected, making Season 4 not just another season, but a critical chapter in a much larger saga—if Lucasfilm decides to move forward with it.
Conclusion: A Carefully Crafted Story in the Making (Maybe)
With Season 4 already mapped out, it’s clear that Favreau and Filoni are treating The Mandalorian with the same level of care and precision as the films that inspired it. As we move closer to May 2026, expect more hints and teasers about how this next installment will continue to redefine Star Wars storytelling.
However, with The Mandalorian & Grogu being the next major step, the fate of Season 4 remains uncertain. Whether it’s expanding the Mandoverse, tying into Thrawn’s rise, or leading directly into Filoni’s Star Wars film, Season 4 is shaping up to be an essential part of the saga—if it ever gets the green light.
