The Disney+ series has earned high praise for its lavish sets, sophisticated writing and stellar performances, resulting in major hype for this long-awaited second chapter.

With three episodes dropping each week on the streaming platform, we'll be moving through the final years of Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) at a breakneck pace, with familiar figures from Rogue One finally entering the story.

Among them is villainous imperial officer Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn), who oversees construction of the dreaded Death Star, and loveably cranky droid K-2SO (with voice actor Alan Tudyk returning).

If you're excited for Andor season 2, here's when you should set your alarm for new episodes.

There are 12 episodes in Andor season 2, matching the length of the first instalment.

These episodes bring the rebel's life story to a close, bringing him up to the events of the fateful Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

What is Andor season 2 about?

The official synopsis, courtesy of Disney, reads: "The second season 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.

"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."

Andor is available to stream on Disney+. Season 2 coming Wednesday 23rd April 2025.
