The Mandalorian season 3, episode 5 release date, time, channel, and plot

After a two-year hiatus that seemed to last forever, The Mandalorian has triumphantly returned to the small screen.

Because it has been a while, audiences may have forgotten certain specific details about the show or just where and when to watch it. Digital Trends is here with a handy guide to The Mandalorian season 3, including when you can watch episode 5, plus plot details, trailers, and much more.
