Andor Season 2 release schedule: When will new episodes of the Star Wars series drop?

Andor season 2 is finally arriving on the television screens after a long wait of more than two years. The sci-fi series has proven to be one of the most successful Star Wars projects on Disney+.

The series follows Cassian Andor, a thief who turned hero during the rebellion against the Galactic Empire. The series portrays events leading up to the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Disney+ has now confirmed the Andor season 2 release schedule. While all the previous Star Wars shows have followed a weekly schedule, a different approach is being taken to release new episodes of Andor season 2.

Andor Season 2: Release schedule

Andor season 2 will premiere on Disney+ on April 22, 2025. Like the first installment, the new season also features 12 episodes. Most of the popular Disney+ shows release three episodes on the premiere day and then one new episode weekly, and a similar trend was followed during Andor season 1.

However, the second season follows a starkly different release schedule, as Disney+ has decided to drop new episodes in four chapters. Beginning on April 22, 2025, the show will release three new episodes every Tuesday for four weeks. Here is the complete release schedule:

How will the release schedule impact the narrative of Andor Season 2?

With the release of three episodes every week, the creators have ensured that each story arc will be finished in one week. Every three-episode chapter will cover one of the four years that lead up to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. In comparison, the entire first season was focused on a single year of Andor’s life.

Originally, the show was planned to have five seasons, each focusing on one year. Those four years are packed into twelve episodes, which makes the story move faster and keeps the action more exciting. The logline for the season reads:

“Everyone will be tested and, as the stakes rise, the betrayals, sacrifices and conflicting agendas will become profound.”

What is Andor Season 2 about?

The new season will likely showcase Cassian Andor becoming a major part of the Rebel Alliance and preparing for the war against the Empire. He is expected to face more danger than ever and has to work with old and new allies.

The jungle planet Yavin 4 is expected to appear this season, showcasing the Rebellion’s progress. Mon Mothma’s struggles against the Empire may also lead to the Ghorman Massacre, a major event in Rebel history.

Since the upcoming season marks the final installment of the series, Cassian will be fully committed to the Rebellion by the end of it and will be ready for the events of Rogue One.

Created by Tony Gilroy, the show stars Diego Luna as Cassian Andor, Adria Arjona as Bix Caleen, Kyle Soller as Syril Karn, Faye Marsay as Vel Sartha, Stellan Skarsgård as Luthen Rael, Fiona Shaw as Maarva Andor, Elizabeth Dulau as Kleya Marki, Varada Sethu as Cinta Kaz, and Genevieve O'Reilly as Mon Mothma.

The cast also includes Ben Mendelsohn as Director Orson Krennic, Alan Tudyk as K-2SO, Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera, Joplin Sibtain as Brasso, Denise Gough as Dedra Meero, and Andy Serkis as Kino Loy.
