Cassin Andor’s story will come to an end in the upcoming second season of Andor Season 2. This story is going to lead up to the events of Rogue One, which saw Andor sacrifice his life for the cause of the rebellion.
The events of the first season covered the first year of that period, but the story for Season 2 is going to play out over the course of four years.
When talking about his journey in the new season, series star Diego Luna told Empire: “He’s a man fully committed to the Rebellion. It’s someone who has to ascend. There’s a huge mountain for him to climb in order to [become] the guy we meet in Rogue One.”
In this season, Andor will be joined by K-2SO, the reprogrammed Imperial droid, voiced sardonically by Alan Tudyk. We’ll learn how the two ended up becoming allies.
Luna shared: “From an audience perspective, they’ve probably made their own story about how Cassian and K-2 got to work together. It tells you a lot about Cassian that his best friend is a droid. And a droid he had to reprogramme. But how did that actually happen and who was he before? Those questions are going to be answered.”
The actor went on to talk about the new destinations that the series will take him, saying: “We move in space more than ever — the amount of planets and sets you’re going to get to see. There are some familiar and new locations.”
Series creator Tony Gilroy added: “I mean, we have to end up in Yavin, right? So, we’ll tell the story of Yavin. No-one has quite dealt with Yavin the way we will be doing it.”
In Andor Season 2: “The second and final installment carries the story of Cassian Andor and the emerging rebel alliance over the climactic four years that lead to the discovery of The Death Star and the events of Rogue One.”
Andor Season 2 will premiere on Disney+ on April 22, 2025.
