Star Wars: Andor – Season 2 is going to be a long time coming and we know roughly when it’s coming
The showrunner and creator of the series prepares us for… 2024
efore Season 1 of Andor, the new Star Wars spinoff series on Disney+, even aired, we already knew there was a plan for two seasons. Now “ANDOR” creator and showrunner Tony Gilroy has spoken about when we should expect season 2, and you better arm yourself with patience.
In an interview with The Wrap he said that Star Wars: Andor Season 2 is most likely to be released towards the end of 2024 and explained how the production schedule works:
“We start shooting in November for Part 2. And I don’t know if…Our previous pattern was two years, but I mean I’ll be…We’ll be shooting from November to August. And then the post -production took us last time about a year.
He also mentioned that until Andor season 2 is finished, he will not leave the Star Wars universe to do another project in between:
As suspect as my participation in the community is, by the time I’m done, I’ll have 26 hours of ‘Star Wars’ content under my belt. I’ll be a player by the time we’re done. The fact is that I will remain here for the time being.
A few words about Star Wars: Andor
Andor promises to explore a new perspective on the universe, focusing on Cassian’s journey to discover the difference he can make. The series will feature the story of the explosive rebellion against the Empire and how various people and planets became involved. It’s a time in the beloved universe full of danger, deception and intrigue, with Cassian taking his first steps on the path destined to transform him into a hero of the revolution. After all, we are five years before “Rogue One,” while the finale of the show, as Tony Gilroy said, will take us a few days before its first scene.
For the record, we already know that Season 1 and the already confirmed Andor Season 2 will consist of 12 episodes – the most of any live-action Star Wars series to date. The episodes are directed by Toby Haynes, Susanna White and Benjamin Caron.
Visually, it will even differ from the other spinoff series of Star Wars (see The Mandalorian, Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi) since it was shot “old-fashioned” without The Volume technology, with green screen and a mix of normal sets and practical effects.
At the same time, apart from Luna who we know will play his character from “Rogue One”, the spy Cassian Andor, the cast will also be joined by Stellan Skarsgard ( Dune ), Adria Arjona ( Morbius ), Fiona Shaw ( Killing Eve ), Denise Gough ( Monday, Flux Gourmet ), Kyle Soller ( Poldark ), and Robert Emms ( Chernobyl ). Finally, Forest Whitaker (Saw Gerrera) and Ben Mendelsohn (Orson Krennic) will also return from their roles in Rogue One .
” Succession ” composer Nicholas Britell has taken over Andor’s soundtrack.
ANDOR will premiere on September 21st on Disney+, with a triple episode.
