'Andor' Season 2 Premiere: When to Watch the Star Wars Series

7 hours ago 2

Gritty Star Wars spy thriller spin-off Andor is back for a final run, with this concluding season set to chart Cassian's transformation into a Rebel hero as it hurtles toward the events of Rogue One.

Diego Luna reprises his role as the Rebel intelligence officer. The once reluctant interstellar criminal is now fully committed to the revolution and fighting against the tightening grip of the Galactic Empire.

Picking up after season 1's conclusion, which saw a civilian uprising on Cassian's home planet of Ferrix, season 2 reveals the construction of the Death Star in full swing while the galaxy teeters on the brink of war.

Senator Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly), Bix Caleen (Adria Arjona), Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård), and Syril Karn (Kyle Soller) all return for this second season, while we're also reintroduced to fan-favorite Rogue One characters like K-2SO (Alan Tudyk) and Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker) ahead of their self-destructive mission alongside Cassian.

Expect intricate politics, a return to the jungle planet of Yavin IV and a deep dive into the moral complexities of rebellion.
