The series "Andor", from the universe of "Star Wars", which follows the events leading up to the movie "Outlaw One" from 2016, will return to the small screen on April 22, 2025 on the streaming service Disney+, Varajeti reports.
Created and produced by Tony Gilroy, co-writer of Outlaw One, the first season of the series follows roughly one year in the life of main character Cassian Andor (played by Diego Luna) as he transforms from a petty criminal to a man ready to join fight against the Galactic Empire, at the moment when the outlines of the Rebel Alliance begin to form.
The second season will have 12 episodes and will take place over a period of four years, divided into blocks of three episodes each. Each block covers several consecutive days in the following years before the events of "Outlaw One."
"If you know the end of the story it really helps". Gilroy said while talking about the second season at the Star Wars Celebration convention in London.
"We know exactly where we're going. You know what you have to deliver emotionally and what the story needs to achieve. It's a survival decision, but it works for us creatively," he added.
The "Andor" series has been widely praised for exploring new aspects of the Star Wars universe, deepening the stories of the lives of those previously overlooked throughout the franchise.
"I wanted the show to focus on real people. So far they've mostly done content about the royal family, basically. That was great. But there are billions of other beings in the galaxy. Plumbers, beauticians. Journalists! What are their lives like? The revolution affects on them as much as anyone else. Why not use Star Wars as a framework for absolutely realistic, passionate and dramatic stories?" Gilroy said earlier in an interview with Variety.
In addition to Luna, Stellan Skarsgård, Genevieve O'Reilly, Kyle Soler, Adria Arhona, Danny Gough, Fay Marcy and Varada Setu also return to the series.
