Here's when the next episode of The Mandalorian is out and how to watch

Disney Plus and The Mandalorian have finally landed in the UK, but episode releases have been staggered causing frustration among Star Wars fans.

The on-demand streaming service boasts a back catalogue of Disney, Marvel and Pixar films and TV shows, but it’s the Mandalorian – the channels ambitious Star Wars epic – that has caught audience’s attention.

Set in a galaxy far, far away, the TV series was a critical hit in the US and has already received warm praise in the UK.

Fans, however, are frustrated that episodes of the show are being drip-fed to fans, rather than released en-masse.

Here’s everything you need to know about the epic, out of this world series, including release dates, cast and plot.

When is the next episode out?

So far three episodes of Mandalorian have been made avialable to UK Disney + subscribers.

Episode four is set to arrive on April 3 at 8am (GMT).

The series runs for eight episodes with one new episode released every Friday, also at 8am.

What is The Mandalorian about?

Set after the original trilogy but before the events of The Force Awakens, The Mandalorian will centre on a “lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic”, according to the show's creator Jon Favreau (Iron Man, The Lion King).

Telling the story of a gun-slinging loner as he wanders a lawless land, the show appears to be heavily Western-inspired.

That genre often featured nameless heroes like Clint Eastwood's famous Man With No Name, and so far the show's hero is known only as “The Mandalorian”.
