When it comes to Star Wars storytelling, *Andor* surprised many of us with its depth and emotional resonance. As a prequel series to an already emotionally heavy film—*Rogue One: A Star Wars Story*—it managed to elevate the narrative by focusing on Cassian Andor’s transformation from a morally ambiguous thief into the self-sacrificing rebel we see in the movie. The show didn’t just retread familiar ground; it added new layers to the Star Wars universe by highlighting the personal struggles behind the Rebellion’s fight against the Empire.
Two and a half years after its first season, *Andor* returns for its final chapter, Season 2. Based on early reviews like Clint Gage’s glowing 9/10, this season expands on the rich world established before, deepening the lore while keeping the emotional stakes high. According to Gage, “*Andor* Season 2 builds on nearly everything that worked so well about Season 1, and continues fleshing out the prequel era of Star Wars.” More than just setting up *Rogue One*, it tells the story of the everyday heroes who made the Rebellion possible.
Where to Watch Andor
*Andor* is available exclusively on Disney+, the official streaming home for all things Star Wars. Subscriptions start at $9.99/month, with no free trial currently offered. For those looking to save on monthly fees, Disney+ offers a bundled plan with Hulu and Max, which could be a more cost-effective option if you're already subscribed to those services.
Andor Season 2 Episode Release Schedule
Season 2 follows a slightly different release pattern compared to most shows. Instead of weekly drops or a single-day binge, Disney+ will roll out the season in batches. Starting April 22, three episodes will drop every Tuesday at 9pm EST / 6pm PST for four consecutive weeks, totaling 12 episodes:
- Episode 1 – April 22

Watch Andor Season 1 on Blu-ray
If you’re a collector or prefer physical media, Season 1 of *Andor* is also available on Blu-ray and 4K UHD. It includes bonus content not found on Disney+, making it a worthwhile addition for fans seeking deeper insight into the making of the series.
Will There Be an Andor Season 3?
No. *Andor* was always intended as a two-season arc, culminating in the events of *Rogue One*. While Season 2 picks up right where Season 1 left off, it spans several years leading into the film, meaning some time jumps are expected. However, this isn't the end of Star Wars storytelling—plenty of new films, including one starring Ryan Gosling and directed by Shawn Levy, are in the works. Rumors also suggest a potential horror spinoff from Tony Gilroy, *Andor*'s creator.
