After an immensely popular first season, Andor is back for more episodes. At Star Wars Celebration panel this year, showrunner (and Rogue One screenwriter) Tony Gilroy revealed a tentative timeline for Season 2.
Andor Season 2 is expected to be released in August 2024.
This 12-episode season will span four years, moving closer towards Rogue One and A New Hope. All cast members should return, including Diego Luna as Cassian Andor and Stellan Skarsgard as Luthen Rael.
Episodes
Andor has set an ambitious standard with its debut season of Rogue One prequel series Andor. In its second run-through, Andor will build upon Cassian Andor’s mission of obtaining Death Star plans while exploring formation and growth of Rebel Alliance as well as providing new insight into world of espionage and resistance.
Season 2 of Andor will feature many returning cast members, such as Diego Luna as lead character Cassian Andor and Stellan Skarsgard as Rebel Alliance dealer Luthen Rael. Other familiar characters include Denise Gough as Imperial officer Dedra Meero; Kyle Soller as Pre-Mor Authority inspector Syril Karn; Genevieve O’Reilly as Senator Mon Mothma, Faye Marsay as Rebel leader Vel Sartha, Adria Arjona as mechanic Bix Caleen; co-creator Tony Gilroy and writing partner Beau Willimon will return for season 2.
Production has been hindered by the Writer’s Guild of America strike; however, we expect an upcoming season to still air next year; though its exact release date remains unannounced.
Andor’s season 2 could play more closely into the main Star Wars storyline, featuring iconic rebel base Yavin IV as a backdrop. Furthermore, we may witness Andor take on more leadership duties as the Rebel Alliance begins its rise to power.
Cast
Season 2 of andor will bring back several familiar characters from season 1. Diego Luna returns as Cassian Andor while Stellan Skarsgard reprises his role as Rebel Alliance dealer Luthen Rael. Genevieve O’Reilly reprises Mon Mothma role while Denise Gough reprises her Imperial officer Dedra Meero role, Kyle Soller returns as Pre-Mor Authority inspector Syril Karn, Faye Marsay is Vel Sartha role and Joplin Sibtain takes up droid factory worker Jasmine Kasso role – among many more characters and storylines that will introduce themselves within this second season of Andor.
The next season will explore the establishment of the Rebel Alliance and its struggle against Imperial control, along with events leading up to Rogue One and its destruction in A New Hope. Creators Tony Gilroy have assured viewers that this season will expand upon themes related to espionage and resistance.
Fans can expect more K-2SO, voiced by Alan Tudyk in season two of andor. K-2SO was an important companion of Jyn Erso in Rogue One movie and could make an appearance here too – as could other Rogue One characters such as Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn) and Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed).

Andor, which wrapped its first season this week on Disney+, was an extraordinary and groundbreaking debut in Star Wars television history. Masterminded by Tony Gilroy and set by its popularity among audiences worldwide. A major success for Disney+ streaming service users alike, Andor provided hope of more ambitious and diverse Star Wars content to be found there in future seasons.

Star Wars Celebration 2017 provided fans with their first glimpse at Season 2. Creator and star Diego Luna promised that the second season would tie directly into Rogue One events, showing how Cassian Andor was recruited for his mission to steal Death Star plans.
Gilroy revealed that Andor’s plot will jump forward every few episodes, giving audiences an overall picture of how the rebellion has progressed since Season One focused largely on human characters. This represents a distinct change from Season 1, where almost exclusively human characters were highlighted.
Andor’s cast will return for Season 2, including Stellan Skarsgard as Luthen Rael, Genevieve O’Reilly (Mon Mothma), Kyle Soller (Syril Karn), Denise Gough (Dedra Meero), Faye Marsay (Vel Sartha) and Varada Sethu (Cinta Kaz).
