Disney+'s 2023 Future After The Mandalorian Season 3
The first two seasons of The Mandalorian released their eight episodes weekly, aside from a blip in Season 1 to swerve the theatrical release of The Rise of Skywalker. So, hearing that Season 3 will similarly release every Wednesday on Disney+ should come as no surprise to fans of the series.
Although after The Bad Batch made the historic decision to release a two-part finale on the same day, the door was open for The Mandalorian to equally experiment with its release format. But with an eight-episode season, compared to The Bad Batch's 16-episode, Disney will want it to run as many weeks as possible.
The Season 3 finale - placed to air on April 19 - will likely be followed shortly after by the MCU's Secret Invasion the following month. This ought to come once Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 passes its peak after its May 5 release.
With regard to the next Star Wars series, Ahsoka is expected to be the next live-action affair in the Fall, although Visions Season 2 will be coming before then on May 4, known to fans of the galaxy far, far away as Star Wars Day.
The Mandalorian Season 3 premieres on March 1, exclusively on Disney+.
