When do Andor Season 2 Episodes 4,5, and 6 drop tonight? Release timings in different regions, explored

Content Warning: a specific part of this article will discuss a moment of s*xual violence from Andor Season 2, episode 3. Reader discretion is advised.

Last Tuesday, April 22, 2025, Andor returned for the second season with the premiere of the first three episodes of the season. However, this season will be different from the previous one as it will follow a different release strategy, releasing three episodes every Tuesday until May 13, 2025, rounding this season to a total of 12 episodes.

On Tuesday night at 9:00 PM ET, April 29, 2025, episodes 4,5, and 6 of Andor Season 2 will be accessible across the world on Disney+. The previous three episodes were set four years BBY, i.e., before the Battle of Yavin, which we first saw in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. Thus, the fourth, fifth, and sixth episodes will be set a year after the events of the previous three.

One year will pass between every three episodes of Andor Season 2, with the final three episodes leading to the moment we first meet Cassian Andor in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Andor Season 2 until now:

The first three episodes of Andor Season 2 were just a tease for what our characters would have to face this season. Mon Mothma, has pledged her daughter off to an unloving marriage with oligarch Davo Sculdun's son. But that's not the lowest point for the character this season. Showrunner Tony Gilroy teased a rough season for Mon Mothma in an Entertainment Weekly interview:

"Canonically, there's the moment where she leaves the Senate, and that's in our timeline. So we're definitely dealing with that, but I would say, of all the characters in the show, of all the hellacious things that people go through, and all of the difficulties and hardships, I don't think anybody has a harder road than she does. Because she has to do everything that everybody else does with all the tension, fear, and anxiety and she has to do it in public,"

He continued,

"She has nowhere to hide, and this season just ramps that up to an almost unbearable point. What Genevieve is going to do in this second season — we realized in the first season what a brilliant actress she was and that we hadn't found the limits of what she could do. We still haven't found them. But the opportunity to write for her and write her story large was very important to me in the second season."

The moment that Gilroy is referring to here is the Ghorman Massacre, which led to Mon Mothma resigning from the Senate. It is after this massacre that Mon Mothma also openly joined the rebellion force. Furthermore, the Ghorman Massacre is the event that finally united the disparate and divided rebel forces under one umbrella. This pivotal event was teased right in the first episode of Andor Season 2.

In this clip, imperial officers are summoned for a meeting to discuss the strategy to malign the Ghorman population to make it easy for the Empire to mine the planet, which would render it uninhabitable. Tony Gilroy , in his interview with The Hollywood Reporter on April 22, 2025, revealed that the Wannsee Convention was the historical inspiration for the scene:

“The very first scene that Krennic has where he talks about Ghorman, that’s based on the Wannsee convention — the Nazi convention where the Nazis got together and planned the final solution over a business lunch.”

For the uninitiated, the Wannsee Convention was a Nazi conference that was held on 20 January 1942. This meeting was attended by several high-ranking Nazi officials in which they discussed the numerous ways to further discriminate against the Jews. Thus, with this Andor Season 2 scene, Tony Gilroy is linking the Empire to the Nazi and several other Fascist regimes.

Things are even worse for our heroes, Cassian Andor, Bix, Wilmon, and Brasso. Andor is captured by some rebel forces on Yavin IV after he steals the experimental TIE fighter. They mistake him for an imperial officer as he tries to convince them of his rebel credentials. He manages to escape on the stolen TIE fighter at the end of the second episode.

Meanwhile, Brasso, Bix, and Wilmon are under pressure at Mina-Rau, the agricultural planet where they are hiding. They are informed by a local man, Kellen, about imperial officers rounding up undocumented immigrants at Mina-Rau. Thus, Bix, Brasso, and Wilmon are constantly under the danger of deportation, probably to a labor prison similar to Narkina 5 from the first season.

This leads to the devastating last act of the third episode of Andor season 2, which results in the death of Brasso at the hands of imperial officers. But it is the ordeal that an imperial officer puts Bix through that shocked every Star Wars fan across the world. Tony Gilroy, the showrunner, spoke about the moment in another The Hollywood Reporter interview on April 23, 2025:

“I get one shot to tell everything I know — or can discover, or that I’ve learned — about revolution, about battles, with as many incidents and as many colors as I can get in there, without having [the story] tip over. I mean, let’s be honest, man: The history of civilization, there’s a huge arterial component of it that’s r**e. All of us who are here — we are all the product of r**e. I mean armies and power throughout history [have committed r**e]. So to not touch on it, in some way … It just was organic and it felt right, coming about as a power trip for this guy. I was really trying to make a path for Bix that would ultimately lead to clarity — but a difficult path to get back to clarity.”

When asked if Disney had any problem with the inclusion of heavy scenes like s*xual violence in the usually child-friendly Star Wars franchise, Gilroy responded:

“No one ever ever said anything about it, ever. But I mean, we have limits on what we can do. We are very aware of what we can do s*xually and violence wise. Those limits are made very clear.”

What is in store for Andor and his allies?

The ending of the third episode of Andor season 2 might just be a tease for the ringer our heroes will be put through in this season. Andor has always portrayed the cost of rebelling against an oppressive regime. Thus, the characters in this show have always had it harder than Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, General Leia, or any of the movie characters.
