‘Andor’ Season 2 Set to Premiere as Tony Gilroy Confirms Departure and AI Concerns Halt Script Release

Tony Gilroy discusses the challenges of concluding ‘Andor,’ the importance of Mon Mothma’s arc, and his decision to withhold scripts to prevent AI misuse.

Tony Gilroy, creator and showrunner of ‘Andor,’ has decided not to release the show’s scripts in book form, citing concerns about their potential use in training artificial intelligence systems.
The second and final season of ‘Andor’ will premiere on Disney+ on April 22, 2025, with the first three episodes dropping on April 23.
Gilroy highlighted Mon Mothma’s pivotal role in season 2, stating that her character faces some of the most challenging circumstances in the series, including her departure from the Senate.
Season 2 will explore major events in Star Wars canon, such as the Ghorman Massacre, which Gilroy described as a significant narrative element with room for creative interpretation.
Gilroy confirmed that he will step away from the Star Wars franchise after the conclusion of ‘Andor,’ raising questions about the series’ impact on the broader Star Wars universe.
