Lucasfilm’s YouTube video lists “The Mandalorian (2019-2023)”, indicating the series is finished.
Jon Favreau said Season 4 scripts were scrapped after the actors’ strike, leading to a 2-hour-12-minute film.

History

Historical Context

Disney’s 2012 purchase of Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion gave it control of the Star Wars saga, which began with George Lucas’s 1977 film. After Disney shut down LucasArts in 2013, laying off about 150 staff, it expanded the franchise through Disney+ series like The Mandalorian (2019) and now releases new content such as The Mandalorian & Grogu on PVOD.
