The on-screen Cassian Andor, Diego Luna, has given an exciting update about Andor Season 2. The Mexican actor has confirmed that filming for the second season has been completed. Andor serves as a prequel to Star Wars’ Rogue One (2016) and is the fourth live-action show in ‘the galaxy far, far away’. Rogue One itself is a prequel to Episode IV: A New Hope (1977). Andor’s events take place during the five years that pave the way to the events of Rogue One and Episode IV.
Through his official Instagram account, Diego Luna announced the completion of Season 2’s filming. He also thanked the crew who worked hard on the second season’s production.
“Today is the last day of filming Andor. I could not be more thankful to the entire crew for this amazing experience and the years of hard work. More than 700 people have worked on this production, and it is impossible to say goodbye and thank you to everyone individually, which is why I write here. THANK YOU for the love and the wonderful experience,” said Luna in his Instagram caption.
Despite completing filming, Andor Season 2 may not come out this year, as Disney is yet to add the sophomore instalment to the 2024 slate. The next Star Wars chapter will be Bad Batch Season 3, which will arrive on the Disney+ streaming platform on February 21. Other Star Wars shows that will come out this year are The Acolyte, Tales of the Jedi Season 2, and Skeleton Crew.
Andor is undoubtedly the best series in the Star Wars franchise, even better than The Mandalorian. Instead of taking the story to the skies and space, Andor sticks to the ground and dares to explore the franchise’s political and realistic side. Another thing that makes Andor such a great show is its preference for using practical sets and real locations rather than extensively depending upon CGI. Overall, the show offers a gritty and more grounded look at the prominent space opera franchise. On Rotten Tomatoes, the show has a ‘fresh’ 96% rating based on over 600 reviews.
Given all the information mentioned above, it seems like Andor Season 2 may hit the Disney+ streaming platform in early 2025. Disney and Lucasfilm are yet to confirm its release window. Stay tuned for more updates.
