The Mandalorian season 4is being “ramped up,” according to one of its stars – which means we might be seeing the return of Mando andGroguvery soon.

Brendan Wayne, who is one of the physical performers for Din Djarin, teased the upcoming season onInstagram.

“Only one thing is more exciting to me than the strike being over or season 4 of Mando getting ramped up and that is Season 2 of Coach Mando and the Lady Lancers,” Wayne wrote (when he’s not an intergalactic gunslinger, he coaches soccer).

In a comment, Wayne added, “next year is my guess,” though it’s unclear if this means the show will start filming next year or if that’s when he anticipates the fourth installment to release.

Of course, it’s Pedro Pascal who lends his voice (and face) to Din Djarin – and he has reportedlyrecently joined the castofFantastic Four, while he also hasThe Last of Us season 2on the way. Next year could be a busy one for Pascal, then.

The Mandalorian season 3ended with Din Djarin and Grogu settling down on Nevarro, withMando officially adopting Baby Yoda as his own. While Moff Gideon was killed in the finale,Ahsokahas brought back a new big bad for the galaxy:Grand Admiral Thrawn.

The Ahsoka finale saw the titular Togruta andSabine Wrenstranded on Peridea (watched over by Anakin Skywalker), butEzra Bridgerand Thrawn made it back to the main Star Wars galaxy. Considering The Mandalorian season 3 saw the Imperials eagerly awaiting Thrawn’s return, we can assume the Grand Admiral will be causing trouble in Mando season 4.
