Though Star Wars fans have been divided on the latest cinematic trilogy, it would appear that Disney Plus’ original series The Mandalorian has given them cause for celebration. The Jon Favreau-helmed became an instant hit among die-hards and casuals alike, with hype intensifying tenfold upon the widely-memed arrival of the colloquially-named “Baby Yoda.” Suffice it to say, a renewal seemed like an inevitability, and Disney has taken things a step further by confirming a third season has currently started production.

With season 2 set to premiere in October, Variety reports that Favreau has been hard at work writing the scripts for season three. He’s not alone in getting the ball rolling, with the art department already whipping up new ideas and concepts for the expansive science-fiction series. The report cites a source that confirms as such, stating “We’ve just started pre-production and are looking into further adventures for the Mandalorian in Season 3.” 

The news bodes well for fans, who may very well benefit from serendipitous timing; The Mandalorian’s second season finished production before COVID-19 truly began to wreak havoc on the world, and as such remains on course for its initial premiere date. While little is known about the plot, Rosario Dawson has been heavily rumored to be playing Ahsoka Tano, the former apprentice to Anakin Skywalker and a heavy fan-favorite from The Clone Wars. 

Check back for more news on the Star Wars original series. In other Mandalorian news, gaming website IGN launched a fake-out trailer in honor of 4/20, a trick that left more than a few die-hard fans in their feelings. Are you excited to see this series continue to build?

With Ozark season three returning to Netflix later this month, a brand new trailer detailing the Byrde family’s new casino venture has officially arrived. Over the past two years, the Ozark writing team has been diligently working to develop one of the best fictional storylines to hit television since The Sopranos and The Wire. Now, the highly-popularized crime-drama series is prepared to take things to a new level as the show returns on March 27.  Kevin Winter/Getty Images

Emmy Award-winning actor/director Jason Bateman, who plays Martin “Marty” Byrde, will be making massive strides in the quiet resort community of Osage Beach, Missouri as he curates one of the biggest business ventures the town has ever seen. While the money laundering Byrde family attempts to keep their life of crime a secret, they are faced with more attention from a multitude of international crime syndicates trying to take control of their empire. 

In the two-minute trailer, it appears that Wendy Byrde (played by Laura Linney) will take on the role of one of the main antagonists this upcoming season. Charlotte Byrde (played by Sofia Hublitz), Jonah Byrde (played by Skylar Gaertner), Ruth Langmore (played by Julia Garner) all make appearances in the season snippet while newcomer, Joseph Sikora, who’s known for his role as Tommy Egan, on 50 Cent‘s Power has a pivotal role on the show. 

Back in Jan., Netflix provided Ozark fans with a teaser of the new season, but now with the unveiling of this brand new trailer, followers of the drug-fueled, embezzlement show have something to look forward come Friday, March 27. Check out the trailer for season three of Netflix’s Ozark below. 

With the influx of streaming services coming out these days, it feels like a large chunk of television worth watching these days is exclusive to Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ etc. However, FX currently has their hands on a few critically acclaimed shows. One of them being Atlanta. The Donald Glover-created series aired season 2 in 2018 but many have been wondering when the third season would arrive.

Today, both good and bad news regarding the series has been unveiled. To start with the bad news, you won’t be getting a new season this year. As FX announced that they renewed the show for a third and fourth season, Donald Glover’s busy schedule prevented the show from entering production. Deadline reports that FX Networks Chairman John Landgraf confirmed that the show would be making its return with season three in early 2021. FX plans on having “less than a year break between” season three and four which means that we can expect a double dose of all eighteen episodes in 2021.

The third and fourth season will also be both shot at the same time with plans to pick up from where season 2 left off. That means that the third season will be shot outside of the United States. Where that might be has yet to be confirmed but we’re excited for the upcoming seasons.
