During D23, Disney revealed news about season 2 of the Star Wars series Andor. The company promised that the program would move up a gear with the confirmation of the return of three characters from Rogue One. But season 2 will go even further as Diego Luna has just revealed in a recent interview. Enough to drive fans of the Star Wars spin-off crazy.
Star Wars fans can't wait to see what happens next for Andor
After a season 1 that was particularly appreciated by the public for its plot, its production and its actors, Disney was quick to make a new season official for the series Andor. But be careful, the wait is huge for this season 2. Especially since we were promised that the second season of Tony Gilroy's series, which had been called “the best Star Wars series” before it even aired, will bridge the gap with Rogue One.
While this new burst of episodes was supposed to be available this month, due to the writers' strike which affected the Hollywood is no longer relevant. Fans will have to wait a little longer because season 2 of Andor is scheduled for sometime in 2025. In the meantime, during D23, Disney revealed that the sequel to Andorwill feature four stories that will be split into three-episode cycles with one year between each cycle, the first of which will take place one year after the last episode.
But what's exciting is that three characters from Rogue One will be making a comeback: Forest Whitaker will return as Saw Gerrera, Alan Tudyk will reprise his role as the robot K-2SO, and Ben Mendelsohn will be back as Orson Krennic, the member of the Empire in charge of building the Death Star.
After season 2 of Andor, Rogue One will be a different movie
In addition to this information, Diego Luna who plays Cassian Andor gave an interview to Entertainment Weekly during which he revealed the objective of this future season which risks driving fans of Rogue One crazy. Indeed, the prequel spin-off of Star Wars had already won over audiences, but with season 2 of Andor, viewers should see a different movie:
I think people who watch Rogue One, after seeing season 2, will see a different movie. Everything will be denoted differently knowing what had to happen for K-2 to be there. I think you will see the journey of Rogue One in a different way. And not just with K-2, but with many other characters. I think it'll be really cool.
Suffice to say that this statement will make the hype around Andor season 2 even more intense. Now all we have to do is wait and see for the official release date.
