The Mandalorian and Grogu is coming to a TV screen near you very soon, but not through Disney+.
Yesterday (July 15), Lucasfilm and its parent company Disney announced that the latest Star Wars film will be available to watch at home from Tuesday July 21 forward.

As for which services it will land on, the usual suspects such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango should be your first ports of call. At this time, there is no indication that The Mandalorian and Grogu will be available to rent and/or buy, but I’d be surprised if viewers were only given the option to temporarily or permanently add one of the many new 2026 movies to their digital movie collection.

If you wonder why The Mandalorian and Grogu It will not come to Disney+, also known as one of the most popular in the world. best streaming services, but you’re not alone. After all, it’s been more than two months since the sci-fi adventure starring Pedro Pascal not only hit theaters, but subsequently failed to meet expectations from a critical and commercial standpoint.
So wouldn’t it make sense to just release the movie on Disney’s main streamer? In short: no.
On the one hand, releasing it on digital platforms first is a sure way for Lucasfilm and Disney to continue making money. The MandalorianThe sequel on the big screen.
Sure, adding it to the Disney+ movie library might persuade some to sign up for the streamer to watch it. However, Disney is much more likely to make extra money through rentals or ongoing purchases than from new Disney+ subscriptions, especially if the cost of renting or purchasing The Mandalorian and Grogu is higher than the most expensive Disney+ tier in your global region.

Regardless, the Jon Favreau-directed film will eventually come to Disney+, so you’ll have to be patient if you’re waiting for its official streaming debut. While you wait, see if you agree with my Disney+ release date prediction for The Mandalorian and Grogu.
