Overview

• Andor was originally envisioned as a five-season series but was condensed to two seasons due to production challenges and concerns over actor aging.
• Season 2 employs a unique narrative structure, with four time-jump blocks of three episodes each, covering pivotal years in Cassian Andor’s evolution.
• The series will premiere on Disney+ on April 22, 2025, with three episodes dropping weekly over four weeks, offering a movie-length experience each week.
• Creator Tony Gilroy credits The Mandalorian’s success and the support of key figures like Kathy Kennedy and Bob Iger for enabling Andor’s creative freedom.
• Gilroy believes the scale and creative protection afforded to Andor are unlikely to be replicated in future Star Wars productions.
