Logan Reign comes in with that mix of new title and familiar echoes. It is set in Las Vegas, and the city is not just a backdrop but part of the story. The bigger news, though, is that Gina Carano is stepping into the lead. It is the first time since The Mandalorian that her name appears at the center of a project of this scale.
The timing is hard to ignore. Only weeks before, her lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm came to an end. The settlement closed a long dispute and was followed by a statement from Disney about possible work together in the future. Against that background, the reveal of Logan Reign carried more weight than a simple casting notice.
Gina Carano in focus
Carano has moved through different stages in her career. From mixed martial arts to action films, and then into television. She appeared in Haywire, in Fast & Furious 6, and later in the Star Wars series that brought her to a wider audience.
Her role as Cara Dune lasted two seasons on The Mandalorian, until Lucasfilm announced her departure in 2021. After that, the projects were smaller, often tied to platforms like Daily Wire and Breitbart News. Logan Reign shifts the frame again, putting her back into a production with higher visibility.
The timing of the announcement
The series was confirmed about six weeks after the settlement with Disney. Details of the agreement were kept private, but the company did make clear that it was leaving the door open for collaborations. For Carano, the announcement of Logan Reign came in that same window, just as attention was turning back to her career.
Logan Reign plot and setting
The story places the lead character in two roles. A legal assistant in the daylight hours, a vigilante once night falls. That mix of ordinary and dangerous defines the concept.
Carano told Deadline how long she had wanted to step into this role:
“Logan Reign is someone I have been craving to bring to life. I’m bringing every ounce of who I am as an actress and what I have learned in this industry to this role and at this moment I have a lot to give.”
The choice of Las Vegas links the character to the actress herself. Carano was born and raised there, and filming in her hometown carries extra meaning. She described it this way:
“Returning to Las Vegas which is its own fantastic character in itself and also Las Vegas being the place I grew up is going to be exhilarating and I’ll feel very much at home filming there. Lights, camera, action, art, grit, Vegas has it all. I’m giddy at the possibilities.”
Production and background
Logan Reign is developed by Straightwire Entertainment Group, led by Rob Weston, who also manages Carano. The company partnered with Shaun Redick and Yvette Yates Redick of Impossible Dream Entertainment. Their credits include Get Out and BlacKkKlansman.
In their words, the project was built around adrenaline and intensity, with Carano seen from the start as the natural fit. Weston added that she brought the heart and power needed to drive a character like Logan Reign.
The actress’s words
Carano underlined that this project brings together both her past experiences and her connection to Las Vegas. Her statements pointed to a role that she had been waiting to take on, and to a setting that she knows in detail. The combination of character and city, she said, would shape how the story unfolds on screen.
Recent controversies
The path to this role included years of public disputes. Her removal from The Mandalorian in 2021 received wide coverage. In 2024, she filed a lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm, supported financially by Elon Musk.
The case ended in August 2025 with a settlement. While the specifics remain under wraps, the outcome shifted the conversation. The Disney statement that followed was clear about future opportunities, and Logan Reign was announced only weeks later.
Expectations and schedule
A release date has not been set. The series is still early in development, with Las Vegas confirmed as the core location. With the production teams already in place, curiosity now turns to how the dual life of Logan Reign will be presented and how Carano will embody it.

Conclusion
Logan Reign comes in as the first real role for Gina Carano since her time on The Mandalorian. Back in Las Vegas, the place she grew up, the series puts her alongside producers who already know how to build strong projects. The lawsuit that followed her name for years has only just ended, so the timing feels sharp. What happens next with the show, nobody can say yet. But the fact is, her name is back, and people are paying attention again.
