The Book of Boba Fett came to an explosive end with its episode 7 finale on Disney Plus, as Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison), mercenary Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) and their allies became embroiled in a tense fight.
The conclusion of the show has sparked much debate across the Star Wars fandom, as fans around the world share their views on the fates of various characters.
However, it has also fuelled excitement for the next Star Wars TV series due to launch on Disney Plus in the coming months, including season three of The Mandalorian.
With the release date for Obi-Wan Kenobi just announced, which will see Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen return to their roles from the prequel trilogy, what else is in store?
Here’s what’s coming up.
When is the next Star Wars TV series coming in 2022?

Next on the agenda for Star Wars fans is Obi-Wan Kenobi, with the release date for the premiere confirmed for Wednesday May 25, marking exactly 45 years since the first film in the franchise, Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, was released in 1977.
Obi-Wan Kenobi will see Ewan reprise his role as the Jedi from the prequel trilogy, in which he starred alongside Natalie Portman, Liam Neeson and Samuel L Jackson.
He’ll also be joined by his co-star Hayden, returning as Anakin Skywalker, who went on to become Darth Vader.
Other cast members include Joel Edgerton as Owen Lars, Luke Skywalker’s uncle, and Bonnie Piesse as Beru Whitesun Lars, Owen’s wife and Luke’s aunt.
Moses Ingram, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell, Benny Safdie, Maya Erskine, and Rory Ross have also been cast in undisclosed roles.
Andor

Andor will mark the highly-anticipated return of Diego Luna as rebel captain Cassian Andor, who he originally played in the 2016 anthology film Rogue One.
It will be set five years before the events of Rogue One, following Cassian as a spy during the early days of the rebellion.
Forest Whitaker will be reprising his role from the film as militant leader Saw Gerrera, as will Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma, a former senator of the Republic.
Other cast members include Stellan Skarsgård, Fiona Shaw, Adria Arjona, Kyle Soller, Denise Gough and Robert Emms.
It’s understood that Andor will be released in 2022, with a release date around the middle or second half of the year.
The Mandalorian

Yes, that’s right. After the events of The Book of Boba Fett, The Mandalorian is back for round three of his eponymous series.
Following the return of Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) in Boba Fett’s adventure, many fans think season three will follow straight afterwards, hopefully with oodles of Grogu content for viewers across the globe to coo over.

An official release date is yet to be announced, but it’s expected to be released in 2022.
Both of the first two seasons were released in the autumn/winter period, so perhaps the third season will follow in the same fashion.
The Book of Boba Fett and the rest of the Star Wars catalogue is available to watch on Disney Plus.
