It is a great day to be part of the rebellion. Disney and Lucasfilm’s Star Wars Celebration event hit London on Friday, when Lucasfilm execs and creatives revealed some of the projects the studio is set to blast into a galaxy far away. Amongst the many new announcements, fans received updates on season two of the Star Wars show Andor on Disney+, via Deadline.
Andor creator Tony Gilroy (The Bourne Identity) said the show’s second and final season will debut in August 2024 before debuting a teaser trailer for the series. It was revealed that season two is still in production.
“We started shooting in November. We’re halfway. We will finish shooting in August, a year on post, and we’ll come out in the following August,” Gilroy said.
The teaser trailer was introduced by Gilroy who was joined onstage by the majority of the show’s cast including lead actors Diego Luna (Rouge One: A Star Wars Story) and Andy Serkis (Venom: Let There Be Carnage). The teaser featured footage of Luna’s character free and on a mission against time.
According to Collider, the footage also featured an Imperial officer talking about how everyone has a “personal rebellion”, which helped to create the theme of the trailer. Syril Karn (Kyle Soller, The Keeping Room) also appeared several times, and it looks like he’s been given a little bit more power now that he’s gained a little favor with Deedra (Denise Gough, Under the Banner of Heaven), who also popped up a few times. There did seem to be quite a bit of drama unfolding for Vel Sartha (Faye Marsay, Game of Thrones) and Cinta Kaz (Varada Sethu, Jurassic World Dominion) who appeared to be caught behind enemy lines.
A few familiar faces from Andor season one will be returning for season 2, with Luna, Soller, Adria Arjona (Father of the Bride), Gough, Marsay, Sethu, as well as, Genevieve O’Reilly (Rouge One: A Star Wars Story), Stellan Skarsgård (Good Will Hunting), Elizabeth Dulau (The Outlaws), James McArdle (Amonite), and Muhannad Bhaier (Mariah: The Diva, the Demons, the Drama).
