Ahead of season 3’s March 1st premiere, Disney has announced that The Mandalorian’s series premiere will air on ABC, Freeform, and FX on Friday, February 24, at 8 P.M. EST. This comes after the success of Andor‘s broadcast premiere over the Thanksgiving holiday.
Previously, I assumed this was a desperate grab for more viewers for an excellent but underrated series. Now, I’m confused; everyone loves The Mandalorian! It’s the one thing holding onto most of Disney+’s subscribers. Who really needs to see the first episode and be convinced it’s an awesome show? It’ll be interesting to see if such a popular series sees a pronounced increase in viewership, as Andor did.
