The creation of Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), Rebel Alliance leader, continues—or will do so before too long. At the fan event D23 in Brazil, Disney finally announced when Star Wars: Andor will return, and we’ve still got to wait five months: The show’s second season arrives April 22, 2025, on Disney+.
Andor still has a lot of ground to cover before it meets up with Rogue One. The first season took place over the course of a year, occasionally dipping back in time to visit Andor’s troubled childhood. The second will cover four years and, as was the case with season one, be told in distinct arcs; according to the Star Wars website, there will be a three-episode arc for each year. A brief summary says, “Andor Season 2 follows Cassian as he evolves into a leader for the emerging Rebel Alliance. Cassian may have been a reluctant hero before, but the Andor we’ll meet next year is fueled by a higher purpose in the fight for freedom against the Empire.”
Andor is the creation of Rogue One co-writer Tony Gilroy. Along with Luna, it stars Kyle Soller, Denise Gough, Genevieve O’Reilly, Adria Arjona, Varada Sethu, and Faye Marsay. And presumably Alan Tudyk’s K-2SO will come along before too long.
D23 attendees got to see a sneak peek that is not yet available to us mere mortals on the internet. Soon, maybe? You can watch the first season of Andor on Disney+.
