Pedro Pascal, star of Disney's The Mandalorian, has a lot going on, and commitment to be on season 4 may be challenging.
Since now the strikes have ended, there's some catch-up to do for studios. Currently, Pascal hasn't finished filming for Gladiator 2 and will probably be filming The Last of Us Season 2 in January, according to Screen Rant.
Season 4 of The Mandalorian and Pedro Pascal's involvement
If The Mandalorian starts filming in the same time frame as Piscal's other projects, there could be quite the conflict. The actor had the same issue with Season 3.
Also, The Bespin Bulletin states that Pascal “likely won't take part in filming.” They added, “Just like season three, due to his commitments to Ridley Scott's Gladiator 2, which is due to begin filming over the next few weeks, and Pascal's commitment to the second season of The Last of Us, which is slated to being filming in the Spring of 2024.”
The scripts for the new season are done, and it's unclear if Pascal was written into them or not. If he was, obviously, some script changes would be necessary.

Whatever the case may be, The Mandalorian Season 4 is a priority for LucasFilm.
According to Din Djarin's double, Brendan Wayne, the new season is getting “ramped up.”
