3 weeks Ago By Angela Tricarico
It’s time to go back a long time ago to a galaxy far, far away. Over two years after the first season wrapped, “Andor” is back for its second and final season . The Star Wars Disney+ series stars Diego Luna as Cassian Andor, reprising his role from 2016’s “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
” The first season, set five years before the events of “Rogue One” showed how Andor went from thief to rebel spy, and now, in Season 2, we’ll watch Andor evolve into the hero he is in “Rogue One.” Season 2 of “Andor” will has 12 episodes that will be split into three-episode mini-arcs airing over four weeks. Each block of episodes will cover roughly a year of the timeline leading up to the fateful events of “Rogue One.
” The new season currently holds a 98% Certified Fresh rating from aggregated critics reviews on Rotten Tomatoes , and the widespread critical acclaim proves that this show is not one to be missed. ‘Andor’ Season 2 release date: The first three episodes of “Andor” Season 2 will be released on April 22. The show has a unique release schedule, which you can find out more about below .

Each block will cover a year worth of story and each block shares the same director-writer pairing across the three episodes.
Who is in the cast of ‘Andor’ Season 2? Most of the main characters and actors from “Andor” Season 1 will return to reprise their roles in the second season. Some characters new to “Andor,” but not to the Star Wars universe as a whole will also be featured: When is ‘Andor’ set in the Star Wars timeline? Season 1 of “Andor” is set in the year 5 BBY, while the upcoming Season 2 will cover four years, from 4 BBY to 1 BBY. The first episode of Season 2 takes place one year after the Season 1 finale.
Where does this fit into the rest of the Star Wars timeline? Let’s get into it by looking at when the films are set. So, to sum up a long-winded answer in one sentence: “Andor” Season 2 begins four years before the events of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” Just as we mark years as BC or AD, years in the Star Wars timeline are marked as BBY or ABY — before the Battle of Yavin or After the Battle of Yavin.
The Battle of Yavin is depicted in the climax of “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope,” so everything set in the timeline beyond that (“The Mandalorian,” Episodes VII-IX, etc.) is considered ABY. Will there be an ‘Andor’ Season 3? No, Season 2 will be the last for “Andor.
” The series is a prequel to “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” and Season 2 will lead right into the events at the beginning of that movie. So while there won’t be a Season 3, you can still see the end of Cassian Andor’s story in “Rogue One,” also streaming on Disney+.
