We finally have the first trailer and poster for Andor season 2. Widely hailed as the best Star Wars TV series (and ranked above the Disney-era movies by many fans), it's been a long wait seeing as season 1 launched way back in 2022.
The show had been on track for a 2024 launch, only for 2023's WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes to put the brakes on the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story prequel's second - and final - batch of episodes midway through production.
Regardless, Cassian Andor is back, and this sneak peek is unlike any other Star Wars trailer we've seen. Featuring quotes pulled from reviews for Andor season 1, the action is accompanied by the sort of music not typically associated with this franchise.
It's used to great effect, though, and we catch sight of several familiar characters (including K-2SO and the villainous Director Krennic). As we rocket through the next few years of Cassian's life, it's clear the Rebel will see plenty of action during his war with the Empire.
"He’s a man fully committed to the Rebellion," Andor lead Diego Luna previously teased. "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."
As for the planned introduction of Alan Tudyk's K-2SO, the actor said, "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."
Check out the first Andor season 2 trailer and poster below.
Andor season 2 picks up with 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.
Season 1 followed Cassian’s reluctant journey from cynical nobody to revolutionary volunteer. Season 2 will see him transform from soldier to leader to hero on the way to his epic destiny. From the very first scene, Cassian’s story has activated an ever-widening ensemble of allies and enemies.
Andor's 12 episodes will see these relationships intensify as the horizon of galactic war draws near. Everyone will be tested and, as the stakes rise, the betrayals, sacrifices and conflicting agendas will become profound. Who will live to see their dream realized? Who will realize what that dream cost?
The cast includes Diego Luna, Stellan Skarsgård, Genevieve O’Reilly, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Faye Marsay, Varada Sethu, Elizabeth Dulau, with Ben Mendelsohn and Forest Whitaker.
Andor season 2 premieres on April 22, 2025.
