In Andor, Diego Luna reprises his role as Cassian Andor. Set five years before the events of Rogue One, the series follows the adventures of the titular Rebel spy during the Rebellion’s formative years. The season is scheduled to premiere in August 2024 and is expected to include time skips involving Andor’s missions for the Rebel Alliance.
Franchise alumni Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera, Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma, and Alan Tudyk as Cassian’s droid sidekick K-2SO also return for season two, along with Denise Gough, Stellan Skarsgård, Kyle Soller, and Adria Arjona.
Andor is executive producer to showrunner and creator Gilroy, who previously directed the re-shoots of Rogue One. Gilroy was originally set to direct three episodes but was forced to relinquish the position to Black Mirror’s Toby Haynes due to pandemic-related travel issues.
