Disney+ confirms 'Andor' S02 for April 2025
The second season of the beloved Star Wars spin-off series, Andor, will premiere on Disney+ on April 22, 2025. The announcement was made at the recently held D23 Brazil event. The news comes more than two years after the show's debut, which was initially met with skepticism for its unconventional approach as a prequel-to-a-prequel focused on a side character from Rogue One.
'Andor' S02 will span 4 years in 12 episodes
The second season of Andor, confirmed by showrunner Tony Gilroy, will have 12 episodes over four years. Each three-episode block will cover a year leading up to the moment Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) shoots rebel informant Tivik (Daniel Mays) at the beginning of Rogue One. The last block will cover the last three days before this moment.
'Andor' explores new facets of the 'Star Wars' universe
Andor has been lauded for its distinct take on the Star Wars universe. In a chat with Variety, Gilroy said he wanted to focus on "real people" instead of just the royal family. He said, "There's a billion, billion, billion other beings in the galaxy. There's plumbers and cosmeticians. Journalists! What are their lives like? The revolution is affecting them just as much as anybody else."
