According to Deadline, the current Writers Guild of America’s writer strike has stopped the current work of many TV series and it seems like The Mandalorian will also be coming to stop. The Disney+ series is most likely to push its production start for season four due to the strike. Although the fourth season has not officially been announced it has been expected. The expectation grew larger earlier this year when creator Jon Favreau (Iron Man) confirmed that the script for the new installment was finished.
According to Deadline, during the WGA strike, no writer will be present on set. This will interrupt production on the series as many crew members will refuse to cross picketing lines to enter the set. This has happened to many series and is now affecting Disney shows as it recently did to Daredevil: Born Again where crew members refused to cross the picketing lines. It is stated that the production of season four has been slated until September. With no writers on set, it will be hard to push forward with the series.
