New ‘Andor’ Season 2 Details Revealed at D23

At the Star Wars Celebration in April 2023, Lucasfilm confirmed a 12-episode second season for ‘Andor’. Gilroy explained that the original five-season plan was deemed “physically impossible” due to the series’ scale, so they decided to conclude with one more season that directly leads into the events of Rogue One.

Now the second and final season of ‘Andor’ was extremely complicated due to the SAG-AFTRA Strike. The filming initially wrapped up in February, but subsequent reshoots were necessary.

Now during this year’s D23 showcase in Anaheim, new details about the show were revealed.

The upcoming season will span four years, with a one-year time jump occurring every three episodes. It will feature Ben Mendelsohn as Director Krennic, Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera, and Alan Tudyk reprising his role as K-2SO. The series is set to release in 2025.

Diego Luna, star of ‘Andor,’ took the stage in Anaheim to discuss the significance of the show’s first season and to give a preview of what’s coming 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 expected to wrap up its timeline just three days prior to the events of ‘Rogue One.’
