With no official release date announced yet, Andor Season 2 is expected to premiere in late 2024 or early 2025 on Disney+. The season has finished filming and will likely involve different writers, including Tony Gilroy, Dan Gilroy, Beau Willimon, and Tom Bissell.
The new season follows Cassian Andor's rise through the Rebellion's ranks, spanning five years with time jumps. It will shed light on the construction of the Death Star and explore the Empire's tightening grip on power, providing a gritty and politically complex take on the Star Wars universe.
Ben Mendelsohn is expected to return as Director Orson Krennic from Rogue One in Andor, though it is not officially confirmed.
Diego Luna, who plays Cassian Andor, has teased the appearance of familiar characters from Rogue One, including Krennic, and praised showrunner Tony Gilroy's writing, hinting at the depth viewers can expect.
Other potential Rogue One cameos mentioned include Stellan Skarsgård as Galen Erso, Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera, K-2SO, and Bodhi Rook, but the extent of their involvement is unclear. Felicity Jones has denied being approached to reprise her role as Jyn Erso.
The final three episodes, directed by Alonso Ruizpalacios, will focus on the year before Andor's introduction in Rogue One, recontextualizing the film for fans and connecting the two stories.
