New Details About Andor Season 2 Unveiled at D23

At the Star Wars Celebration in April 2023, Lucasfilm announced that Andor would return for a 12-episode second season. Gilroy explained that the originally planned five-season arc was deemed “physically impossible” due to the series’ scale, leading to the decision to wrap up with one final season that directly leads into Rogue One.

The production of the second and final season faced significant challenges due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. While filming initially concluded in February, additional reshoots were required.

At this year’s D23 showcase in Anaheim, new details about the upcoming season of Andor were revealed. The season will cover a four-year period, with a one-year time jump every three episodes. It will include Ben Mendelsohn as Director Krennic, Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera, and Alan Tudyk returning as K-2SO. The series is scheduled to premiere in 2025.

Diego Luna, star of Andor, appeared on stage in Anaheim to talk about the impact of the show’s first season and to provide a glimpse into what’s ahead in season 2.

‘Rogue One changed my life. I’ve lived with Cassian Andor for 10 years now. Being able to complete this story that starts with Season 1 to Rogue One, is great. In the first season, we go through a single year. He lives under the rule of the empire. Got a taste of courage. […] This second part of the story will follow Cassian over a four-year period as he grows into the rebel hero we know in Rogue one. In this season, the stakes are greater, enemies more organized, and clock is ticking. Empire threat grows, Andor has a high purpose, freedom and a better tomorrow.

The second season is set to conclude just three days before the events of Rogue One.
