This article contains all the information related to the delay of the shooting of The Mandalorian Season 3. It also describes the impact of the show on the Star Wars franchise and predicts when the filming can restart.
About the Mandalorian and Its Impact
It is a well-known fact that The Mandalorian was instrumental in restoring the status of the Star Wars franchise which has experienced much criticism since Disney procured it a decade ago.
Already having made two top seasons, the expectations are obviously at their apex for Season 3 which is going to continue where the thrilling finale of Season 2 ended. But a recent rumor indicates that Lucasfilm is having some woes with the shooting which could practically impact the chances of the show releasing on Disney+ this year.
Rumors About Postponement
According to the reports at Bespin Bulletin, the shooting for The Mandalorian Season 3 which happens in Los Angeles has been halted due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases due to the spread of the Omicron variant.

The report reveals that no one from the show has been infected with the virus and it is only a cautionary measure on Lucasfilm’s part to ascertain the health and safety of everyone on set.
Opinion and When will shooting resume
As it stands it is still unknown when the shooting of the film will restart. Even the ongoing production progress for Season 3 is not revealed but with the Omicron variant causing dangerous health situations around the world, I don’t think filming for The Mandalorian’s third season will begin any quicker.
It will be compelling to note how this recent postponement will impact the odds of the show releasing on its expected date in the latter half of the year.
The Mandalorian Season 3 started production last October.
