Andor might be the best Star Wars show from Disney, and season 2 is just around the corner now. We've got the release date and all the other info you could possibly ask for right here for you.
When people think of Star Wars, typically Jedi and Sith come to mind. In a galaxy far, far away, people with access to the Force are usually the main characters. That's why Andor and the story of Cassian was a neat change of pace and was well received by fans.
It's been some time since the first season's finale, though, and fans have been wondering when the Disney+ show continues. While we won't see more of Cassian in 2024, spring is gonna be great for Andor fans.
Somehow missed the show? Here's the gist of it: The Disney series "Star Wars: Andor" is giving us the prequel story that leads to the happenings of Rogue One, with the spy and assassin Cassian Andor (played by Diego Luna) as the protagonist.
Andor Season 2 finally has a release date
For the longest time, fans have been hoping for a 2024 return of Cassian Andor. Sadly, Disney recently confirmed their upcoming releases, and Andor was not among them.
Not to worry, though: while 2024 is off the table, fans can look forward to season 2 in spring of 2025. Andor Season 2 is set to release on April 22, 2025 on Disney+. As tradition, new episodes will come out weekly, probably with a two or three episode start in April. Just like the old season, the new one will span twelve episodes.
Andor's Season 2 Time-Jumps, Like, A Lot
Andor creator Tony Gilroy also revealed some plot-related information about the upcoming season (Spoilers ahead!). In an interview with Polygon, he stated that at the beginning of season 2, one year will have passed since the events from the first season's finale. Furthermore, season 2 will do several time jumps, taking the plot only some days ahead of the events of Rogue One .
After this reveal, further information surfaced regarding the timeline of the episodes. Apparently, Andor season 2 will be split into blocks of three episodes, with each block taking place over one year. With twelve episodes, that means that season 2 will portray around four years of Cassian's life.

As we already know where Cassian will end up after those four years passed, it will be interesting to follow his journey and see how he gets there. Season 1 convinced with its deep storytelling and well-developed characters, so we're excited to see how season 2 further expands on that.
