The Mandalorian season 3
The Book of Boba Fett chapter 7 will be released on Wednesday, February 9, 2022, on Disney Plus and it will be the show’s season finale, much to the disappointment of fans. However, The Mandalorian season 3 will now be firmly in their sights.
Fans were led to believe that season 3 would arrive by Christmas 2021, however, this project ended up being The Book of Boba Fett.
Greef Karga actor, Carl Weathers, confirmed on Twitter back in October 2021 that season 3 had just begun filming, therefore, fans can expect to see the premiere of the third chapter sometime in mid-late 2022.
