Not long from now, in a galaxy far, far away, Diego Luna will return to Disney+ as Cassian Andor.
On Saturday, Disney announced at the D23 Expo in Brazil that Season 2 of the Star Wars spin-off series Andor will premiere April 22, 2025 on the streaming platform, more than two years after Season 1 ended.
Andor stars Luna, reprising his role as the titular Rebel spy after Rogue One (2016). Following his journey from thief to revolutionary during his formative years with the Rebel Alliance, Season 1 sees Andor take on difficult missions for the cause.

During August’s D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, Ben Mendelsohn was revealed in a behind-the-scenes reel to join the cast of Season 2, reprising his villainous Rogue One role as Orson Krennic. Luna said in the clip that the “stakes are greater” in the new season.
“This second part will follow Cassian over the period of four years as he grows into the hero we see make the ultimate sacrifice in Rogue One,” he explained.

Creator Tony Gilroy planned out the series as a two-season adventure with the second season leading up to the events in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, where audiences were first introduced to Luna’s Andor.
Season 2 comes after production was halted on the new episodes last July amid the SAG-AFTRA strike.
