The Mandalorian stars Pedro Pascal (Narcos) in the title role as Din Djarin, a bounty hunter who finds himself targeted by the remnants of the Empire and his fellow bounty hunters after breaking a contract in order to protect ‘The Child’, a mysterious and force sensitive young creature from the same species as Jedi Master Yoda.
Joining Pascal in the acclaimed first season of the show are a number of guest stars including Gina Carano (Deadpool), Carl Weathers (Rocky), Nick Nolte (Afflication), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok) and Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man).
After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. The series depicts a lone bounty hunter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.
