Season two of 'Andor' set for April 2025 debut on Disney+

Los Angeles: The second season of "Andor", a "Star Wars" spin-off show starring Diego Luna in the lead, will premiere on Disney+ on April 22, 2025, the streamer has announced.

Disney+ shared the news of the sophomore chapter's release date in a post on Instagram on Saturday evening.

"On April 22, 2025, #Andor returns to #DisneyPlus," the streaming service wrote alongside a poster of the series.

Created by Tony Gilroy, the first season of "Andor" brought back Luna as the thief-turned-Rebel spy, Cassian Andor, a character he first played in the 2016 hit film 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story".

According to entertainment news outlet Variety, the 12-episode second season will span four years, structured into three-episode arcs.  Each arc will cover a few consecutive days within a different year, leading up to the events of “Rogue One.” "Andor" explores the origins of Andor and his journey towards becoming a revolutionary for the Rebel Alliance that goes up against the Galactic Empire in the galaxy far, far away.

The first season debuted in September 2022 and received widespread acclaim for its storytelling, character development, and mature approach to the franchise as well as how it delved into the darker and more nuanced aspects of rebellion.

Besides Luna, actors Stellan Skarsgård, Genevieve O’Reilly, Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Faye Marsay and Varada Sethu are also returning for the second season.
