Disney+ Shares Photos from ‘Andor’ Season 2 Celebration & Featurette (Pics)

Tonight, in Hollywood, stars Diego Luna, Genevieve O’Reilly, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, Forest Whitaker and Benjamin Norris walked the red carpet to celebrate the second and final season of Lucasfilm’s highly acclaimed series “Andor.” 

The cast was joined on the red carpet by filmmakers Tony Gilroy (creator, executive producer, writer), Kathleen Kennedy (executive producer), Sanne Wohlenberg (executive producer), John Gilroy (executive producer, editor), Dan Gilroy and Tom Bissell (writers), and Brandon Roberts (composer). The evening included a cast and creator conversationalong with a sneak peek at “Andor” Season 2.

Along with photos from the event, Disney+ also released a new featurette, featuring Diego Luna, who plays the titular character Cassian Andor.

In addition to its Disney+ premiere on April 22, the first episode of Lucasfilm’s Emmy®-nominated thriller “Andor” Season 2 will make its broadcast debut on ABC and FX on Wednesday, April 23, at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT. 

The second season of “Andor” takes place as the horizon of war draws near and Cassian becomes a key player in the Rebel Alliance. Everyone will be tested and, as the stakes rise, the betrayals, sacrifices and conflicting agendas will become profound. 

Rife with political intrigue and danger, the series is a prequel to “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” which portrayed a heroic band of rebels who steal the plans to the Empire’s weapon of mass destruction—The Death Star—setting the stage for the events of the original 1977 film. “Andor” sets the clock back five years from the events of “Rogue One” to tell the story of the film’s hero, Cassian Andor, and his transformation from disinterested, cynical nobody into a rebel hero on his way to an epic destiny.  

The final season will unfold over 12 episodes broken down into four chapters of three episodes each. The first chapter of Season 2 will premiere April 22, with subsequent chapters debuting each week, exclusively on Disney+.  

“Andor” Season 2 stars Diego Luna, Stellan Skarsgård, Genevieve O’Reilly, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Alan Tudyk, Faye Marsay, Varada Sethu, Elizabeth Dulau, with Ben Mendelsohn and Forest Whitaker. The series was created by Tony Gilroy, who also serves as an executive producer along with Kathleen Kennedy, Sanne Wohlenberg, Diego Luna, Luke Hull and John Gilroy.

Tony Gilroy wrote the first three episodes, with Beau Willimon writing episodes 4-6, Dan Gilroy penning episodes 7-9 and Tom Bissell putting pen to paper for episodes 10-12. The directors for the series are Ariel Kleiman (Eps. 1-6), Janus Metz (Eps. 7-9) and Alonso Ruizpalacios (Eps. 10-12).
