Andor is an upcoming American television series created by Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton, Rogue One) for the streaming service Disney+. A prequel to the Star Wars spin-off film Rogue One (2016), the series follows thief-turned-Rebel spy Cassian Andor during the five years before the events of the film.
Diego Luna (Rogue One, Narcos: Mexico) executive produces and reprises his Rogue One role as Cassian Andor. Genevieve O'Reilly (The Legend of Tarzan), Stellan Skarsgård (Dune: Part One), Adria Arjona (6 Underground), Denise Gough (Robin Hood), Kyle Soller (Anna Karenina), and Fiona Shaw (Harry Potter film series) also star.
Lucasfilm announced a series focused on Andor in November 2018, with Luna attached and Stephen Schiff (The Americans) hired as showrunner. Schiff was replaced by Rogue One co-writer Gilroy as creator and showrunner in April 2020. Filming began at the end of November 2020, with Gilroy unable to direct as planned due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming took place at Pinewood Studios in London, and on location around the United Kingdom, and wrapped by September 2021.
The first 12-episode season of Andor will premiere on Disney+ on September 21, 2022, with its first three episodes, while the rest of the episodes will release weekly until November 23. A second 12-episode season is in development, which will conclude the series and lead into the events of Rogue One. Watch the official trailer below.
