As a prequel to the already poignant "Rogue One," the Disney+ series "Andor" has captivated audiences with its deep dive into the transformation of Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) from a petty thief to a pivotal figure in the Rebel Alliance. Despite knowing the ultimate fate of Andor, the series managed to weave compelling intrigue and profoundly human narratives, earning its place as the top-rated live-action Star Wars show to date.
After an eagerly awaited two and a half years, "Andor" returns for its second and concluding season, and it seems the anticipation has paid off. In his 9/10 review, Clint Gage praises Andor Season 2 for enhancing the strengths of its predecessor, further enriching the Star Wars prequel universe. The series continues to spotlight the unsung heroes of the rebellion, delivering intimate stories within the broader context of their struggle.
"Andor" Season 2 premieres tonight on Disney+, with a unique episode release schedule. Here’s everything you need to know to watch:
Where to Watch Andor ---------------------### Andor
In a time rife with peril, deceit, and political maneuvering, Cassian Andor discovers the impact he can have in the fight against the oppressive Galactic Empire. His journey is set to transform him into a rebel icon. "Andor" is available exclusively on Disney+, the ultimate destination for Star Wars content. Subscriptions begin at $9.99/month, with no free trial offered. For those looking to save on streaming, consider the Disney+ bundle that includes Hulu and Max.
"Andor" Season 2 follows a distinctive release pattern, rolling out all episodes within just four weeks. Starting April 22, Disney+ will release three episodes every Tuesday at 9pm EST/6pm PST, summing up to 12 episodes in total. Mark your calendars for the following release dates:
### Andor: Season 1 [4K UHD]
If streaming isn't your preference, you can own "Andor" by adding it to your physical media collection. Season 1 is available on Blu-ray and in 4K, featuring exclusive special content not found on the Disney+ streaming platform.
"Andor" Season 2 picks up right where Season 1 left off, leading directly into the events of "Rogue One." Unfortunately, this marks the end of the series, as Season 2 will be the final chapter for Cassian Andor. Given the Star Wars timeline, expect some time jumps as the narrative covers the four years following the Season 1 finale.
While "Andor" concludes, the Star Wars saga is far from over. Upcoming live-action films include a project directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Gosling. There are also whispers of a Star Wars horror project from "Andor's" showrunner, Tony Gilroy. Additionally, several Star Wars video games are in the works, such as Bit Company's tactical game, "Star Wars Zero Company." Look out for more announcements on Star Wars Day, May 4.
