Andor Season 2: Story, Updates, & Everything We Know

Summary Andor season 2 is expected to be released in 2024, but it may be delayed due to the aftermath of the actors' strike.

The plot of Andor season 2 will focus on Cassian Andor becoming a crucial rebel agent and the challenges of building the Rebellion.

Andor season 2 will likely feature the first meeting between Cassian and Mon Mothma, as well as explore Mothma's efforts to stay hidden from the Emperor while building the Rebellion.

Andor season 2 is one of the more highly-anticipated upcoming Star Wars TV shows, meaning many questions are being asked about the project. Initially, Andor was intended to last five seasons, before being confirmed as two seasons leading into the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. With Andor season 1 featuring a few relatively self-contained story arcs before culminating in the finale, Andor season 2 is expected to more closely resemble Rogue One, both in terms of its titular character and the show's timeline.

The dramatic ending of Andor season 1 saw Diego Luna's Cassian Andor join the Rebel Alliance, setting him up for a second season in which he will wage his personal war against the Empire. Beyond that, little has been revealed about the overall plot, which will span the five years between Andor season 1 and Rogue One. Here's everything that's known to date.

The Latest Andor Season 2 News

Andor season 2 has completely wrapped filming

Andor season 2 began filming in November 2022, but production shut down due to the WGA strikes when it had just two weeks of filming left. Although Lucasfilm claimed the show would be a priority, production didn't wrap until February 2024. This was confirmed by star Diego Luna, who took to Instagram to honor the cast and crew.

Andor season 2 will be split into four three-episode installments, each depicting a 12-month period that is important to the development of the Rebel Alliance.

Regarding the story of Andor season 2, there have been a few teases and hints. Showrunner Tony Gilroy has confirmed that Andor season 2 will be split into four three-episode installments, each depicting a 12-month period that is important to the development of the Rebel Alliance. It will include Yavin 4, the jungle planet that served as the base of operations for the Rebel Alliance in Rogue One and the first Star Wars movie, which makes sense as the show heads toward 0BBY in the Star Wars timeline.

Gilroy has strongly hinted Andor season 2 will finally introduce Cassian's droid K-2SO, telling his origin story. Adria Arjona, who plays Cassian's close friend Bix, has teased at a surprising arc that's full of twists. Beyond this, nothing is currently known of the story.

Andor Season 2 Has Been Confirmed

Cassian Andor's full story will be told

It's little surprise Andor was renewed, as both Star Wars fans and critics alike agree it is arguably the best Star Wars Disney+ show so far. Andor season 2 was confirmed pretty early on in the game, along with the fact that it will be the final installment to the series. Since Andor season 2 leads directly into the events of Rogue One, Cassian's story can be completed officially thanks to the standalone Star Wars feature film ending his journey with his tragic death on the beaches of Scariff.

Andor Season 2 Story Details

Andor season 2's plot is still a mystery

In terms of Andor season 2's story, details are a little more scarce. However, some lingering plot points left over in the Andor season 1 finale hint at the plot of season 2, as can some wider knowledge of the Star Wars universe. The showrunner Tony Gilroy has confirmed that Andor season 2 will feature its hero learning how to become a leader as well as finding out just how difficult it is to build the Rebellion. This makes sense, given Andor season 1's final scene saw Cassian finally embracing the Rebellion by joining Luthen.

With Cassian now an official part of Luthen's team, he will have firsthand experience of building the Rebel Alliance into what it later becomes. Through this, Andor season 2 will almost certainly feature the first meeting of the titular character and Genevieve O'Reilly's Mon Mothma, a close ally of Luthen. Speaking of Mothma, her continued efforts to stay hidden from the eyes of the Emperor all while building the Rebellion will be a big focus, as will the ramifications of introducing her daughter to Davo Sculdun's son in the finale.

This could lead to big moments known to come from Mon Mothma in Andor season 2. In Star Wars Rebels, it was revealed that Mon Mothma left Coruscant and officially formed the Rebel Alliance after the Ghorman Massacre. This event could be featured in Andor season 2, as could several other interesting, exciting, tension-filled moments that allow the Rebel Alliance to become the Empire-fighting force it is in the original Star Wars movie.
