It’s time to join the rebellion again, as Andor season 2 is set to return to Disney Plus, bringing one of the streamer’s most acclaimed series back after a long hiatus. While there have been a number of Disney Plus shows set in the Star Wars universe, Andor has risen to the top alongside The Mandalorian, so fans are sure to be hyped for these next 12 episodes, which are set to be the series’ last.
Andor follows Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), telling the story of how he came to become the rebel spy that we meet in Rogue One. Created by Tony Gilroy, who co-wrote Rogue One, the first season of Andor was “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes with a score of 96% and earned eight Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series. That’s a lot to live up to, can those expectations be met?
Says creator and executive producer Tony Gilroy, "One of the great thrills of making Andor is the scale of the story and the number of characters we're able to meet — ordinary people, Imperial overlords, passionate revolutionaries. They are real people making epic decisions, all of them staring down questions with terrifying consequences. Cassian’s journey is the soul and spine of our story, but it’s the choir that makes the show. I’m so excited for audiences to see where we go in season 2."
Here is everything you need to know about Andor season 2 including the first teaser trailer...
Andor season 2 release date
Coming just about two and a half years after the premiere of season 1, Andor season 2 arrives on Disney Plus on April 22 in the US, then April 23 in the UK.
For season 1, Disney released the first three episodes right away before moving to a weekly release model. That’s been the case with a lot of their original series, so we expect a similar strategy for Andor season 2.
In order to watch Andor season 2, you must be a Disney Plus subscriber. There are various options to do this. The first is you can sign up for Disney Plus as a standalone service (ad-supported and ad-free options are available). If you’re in the US, Disney Plus is also included as part of a Hulu with Live TV streaming subscription or you can bundle Disney Plus with Hulu and ESPN Plus with the Disney Bundle.
Andor season 2 cast
Returning to his role as Cassian Andor is Diego Luna. This has become one of Luna’s signature roles, but he is also known for Y Tu Mama Tambien, Open Range, Milk, Narcos: Mexico and, most recently, La Maquina.
Other returning members of the Andor cast include Stellan Skarsgård as Luthen Rael, Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma, Kyle Soller as Syril Karn, Adria Arjona as Bix Caleen, Denise Gough as Deedra Meero, Faye Marsay as Vel Sartha and Varada Sethu as Cinta Kaz.
New cast members are not confirmed at this point, but we do expect that Alan Tudyk will join the series to voice the droid K-2SO, as he did originally in Rogue One.
Andor season 2 plot
The makers tease: "Season 2 will see the characters and their relationships intensify as the horizon of war draws near and Cassian becomes a key player in the Rebel Alliance. Everyone will be tested and, as the stakes rise, the betrayals, sacrifices and conflicting agendas will become profound."
The final season will unfold over 12 episodes broken down into four chapters of three episodes each.
