Jon Favreau and Pedro Pascal Tease Big Surprises in The Mandalorian Season 3

During Disney's panel at the CCXP in Brazil, Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni finally confirmed that the third season of The Mandalorian will debut on March 1st, 2023. They also premiered new footage that was exclusive to attendees. Both executive producers then appeared in a video, where Favreau said they have a lot of cool surprises up their sleeve. Additionally, he confirmed the scope is bigger than ever and that many of the actors and directors from previous seasons are returning.



Collider's Steve Weintraub recorded Favreau's message on Instagram, where he said:

(L-R): The Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu in Lucasfilm's THE MANDALORIAN, season three, exclusively on Disney+. ©2022 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All Rights Reserved.



Pedro Pascal also weighed in on the first part when he made a surprise appearance on the 'Omelete' stage. He said:

When asked to describe the third season in one word, he simply said 'epic.'



We've also known for a few months that the cast for the third season will include the return of Carl Weathers, Katee Sackhoff, Emily Swallow, Giancarlo Esposito, and Amy Sedaris. While we don't know for sure if Temuera Morrison will be returning as Boba Fett; a Twitter user claimed to have spotted the character in the footage shown, though we haven't found more attendees backing that up. The new season's set of directors will include Weathers, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Rick Famuyiwa, who is directing at least a couple of episodes and is also an executive producer now.



The Mandalorian season 3 is coming out on March 1st on Disney Plus.
