So, when is the second season releasing? What is the plot? Who have been cast in the lead roles? Keep reading to know further details.
Andor Plot and Cast
Since Season 1 has not premiered yet, we cannot predict what would happen in Andor Season 2. However, it will continue from where Season 1 would end.
Andor is set five years before Rebel spies recovered plans to the Death Star, paving the way for Luke Skywalker to fire those fateful proton torpedoes down an exhaust port. The series focusses on Cassian Andor, a secret service operative working for the Rebellion against the Empire.
The casting of Adria Arjona as Andor’s sister will bring a better insight into his family and upbringing over the course of the show. However, it seems like we won’t get to see the return of the playful dynamic between Cassian and K-250, since actor Alan Tudyk has confirmed he would not appear in the first season, but might join it later.
LucasFilm has promised that the scale of the project would be epic as it would be in a big screen project. Audiences doesn’t need to doubt him for now following the blockbuster feel of fellow Disney+ original The Mandalorian.
Coming to the cast, we would get to see Diego Luna, Stellan Skarsgard, Adria Arjona, Fiona Shaw, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller and Genevieve O’Reilly. Other cast members include Forest Whitaker and Robert Emms in other important roles.
Andor Season 2 Release Date
The first season of Andor would premiere on August 31, 2022. It has been renewed for a second season before the premiere of Season 1 and considering that, Season 2 should premiere sometime in 2023.
The new season will also consist of 12 episodes and the runtime has not been revealed yet. The series is being distributed by Disney Platform Distribution.
