Andor is a Star Wars prequel series that dives into the life of Cassian Andor, the Rebel spy we first met in Rogue One. It is not your usual space fantasy—this one is gritty, dark, and full of tension. Think more spy thriller than lightsaber battles.
Season 2 is the final stretch. This season will show Cassian's full transformation, from a man trying to survive in a broken galaxy to a revolutionary fighting the Empire head-on. It’s the bridge that leads straight into Rogue One.
The new season kicks off tonight, Tuesday, April 22, at 12 a.m. PT, exclusively on Disney+.
How to watch Andor?
You can catch all episodes of Andor Season 1 and Season 2 on Disney+. It will not be airing on regular TV or cable—it’s a streaming-only release.
If you have Hulu, you can bundle it with Disney+ and watch both platforms using The Disney Bundle. That’s perfect if you want more streaming options in one place. Andor is a Disney+ exclusive, so you will need to be logged in to the platform.
Disney+ starts at $10.99/month. There is also an ad-supported version, which is affordable. If you are all about Star Wars, Marvel, or Disney originals, it is a solid deal.
The Disney Bundle (includes Hulu and ESPN+) starts around $14.99/month and gives you more bang for your buck—especially if you like variety.
Some new users can get a free trial of the Hulu + Disney Bundle. Check the latest deals, they pop up often, especially around big premieres like this.
Sharing is caring, right? If someone in your circle has Disney+, you can watch as a guest on their account (with permission, of course).
Live outside the U.S.? Some regions don’t have immediate access to new Disney+ shows. That’s where a VPN (Virtual Private Network) can help by changing your location virtually.

- ExpressVPN
- NordVPN
- Surfshark: They are known for speed and security, perfect for streaming.
Steps to stream with a VPN:
- Download and install a VPN (like ExpressVPN).
- Connect to a U.S. server.
- Head over to Disney+, sign in or subscribe.
- Enjoy Andor like you never left the States!
What happened in Season 1?
Cassian started as a man just trying to stay alive. But over time, he saw how brutal the Empire was. After witnessing the uprising on his home planet, Ferrix, his path shifted toward rebellion.
Season 1 planted the seeds of a galactic rebellion. It wasn’t flashy, more quiet resistance, spies, and civilians standing up to tyranny. The final episodes were intense. After the chaos in Ferrix, the galaxy is on edge. Cassian is now deeply involved in the Rebel cause, and it’s clear there’s no turning back.
In Season 2, the Death Star’s construction is in full swing. The Empire is growing more dangerous by the day. And yes, it is building to something big, Rogue One.
This season will show how Cassian becomes the leader and fighter we see later. From a reluctant criminal to a revolutionary legend, this is the journey. Of course, Diego Luna is back. His performance in Season 1 was powerful, and he’s ready to take it even further.
Andor is created by Tony Gilroy, the mind behind Rogue One. His approach is grounded, real—less about fantasy, more about fight, loss, and hope. Unlike other Star Wars series, Andor doesn’t rely on Jedi or Force magic. It’s raw, political, and deeply human. That’s what sets it apart.
Disney+ is available in many countries, but release dates may vary. Some places might not get episodes immediately. If your country doesn’t have Andor yet, just use a VPN, set your server to a U.S. location, and watch it just like American viewers do.
Andor isn’t just another Star Wars show, it is a deeply human story set in a galaxy ruled by fear. Season 2 is the final chapter of Cassian’s journey, and it’s shaping up to be intense, emotional, and unforgettable. Whether you are a lifelong Star Wars fan or love a good spy thriller, this series is worth streaming.
