The Mandalorian season 3 trailer teases more adventures with Grogu and a lot more Mandalorians. The show stars Pedro Pascal as the titular character, with a massive line-up of actors filling in various roles throughout the show, including Carl Weathers, Taika Waititi, Giancarlo Esposito, Emily Swallow, Ming-Na Wen, Bill Burr, Mark Hamill, and many more. Dave Filoni (The Clone Wars, Ahsoka) serves as producer on the series, alongside Kathleen Kennedy.
Created by Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian has had two seasons thus far, as well as a lengthy appearance in The Book of Boba Fett, leading to the continuation of his journey in The Mandalorian season 3. The Mandalorian season 2 debuted in 2020, leaving a long gap between seasons, due largely to the pandemic stalling production and leaving room for Boba Fett's solo series to debut. In the Fett series, The Mandalorian appeared in the last few episodes, which also continued the story of Grogu, who eventually returned to Din Djarin, rather than becoming a Jedi under Luke Skywalker.
The Mandalorian season 3 trailer debuted at D23, showing off what fans can expect in the follow-up, which picks up after the events of season 2, as well as The Book of Boba Fett. The trailer reveals the continuation of Djarin and Grogu's journey, and has the voice of The Armorer telling Mando that he is "A Mandalorian no more" due to having removed his helmet at the end of season 2. Other familiar faces show up in the trailer, as well as Babu Frik, the lovable alien character that first appeared in Star Wars - The Rise of Skywalker. Take a look at the trailer below:
At D23, the cast of The Mandalorian season 3, including director Rick Famuyiwa, took to the stage to introduce the new season. Joining Famuyiwa was Emily Swallow, Katee Sackhoff, Amy Sedaris, Giancarlo Esposito, and The Mandolorian himself, Pedro Pascal. Famuyiwa said of working on the series, "This has been a dream of mine since I watched the first Star Wars film." Pascal said of working on the series, "To describe the journey of being part of The Mandalorian is impossible."
Fans have eagerly been awaiting The Mandalorian season 3 having waited years to see its return, making the hype for the show's return palpable. Seeing Mandalore and knowing the full implications of the brewing Civil War within the ranks of The Mandalorians will make for a great continuation of the story and allow the Star Wars universe to explore that corner of the galaxy further. Having Grogu back, after it seemed like he may be gone for good at the end of the last season, makes The Mandalorian season 3 that much more exciting.
