Who is In the Cast of ‘Andor’ Season 2?
Of course,Andorwouldn’t be the same withoutDiego Lunain the titular role of Cassian Andor, after first appearing inRogue One: A Star Wars Story. Luna’s immersive central performance is a major high in an already incredible career, with the chance to flex his sci-fi muscles once again nothing short of enticing. Luna is expected to be joined by almost all the cast from Season 1, includingStellan Skarsgårdas rebel leader Luthen Rael,Kyle Solleras civil servant Syril Karn,Genevieve O’Reillyas Imperial senator and secret Rebel leader Mon Mothma,Denise Goughas Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) supervisor Deedra Meero,Faye Marsayas rebel operative Vel Sartha,Varada Sethuas Cinta Kaz,Elizabeth Dulauas Kleya Marki,Duncan Powas Ruescott Melshi,Forest Whitakeras militant insurgent Saw Gerrera,Ben Chapmanas the voice of Cassian’s salvage assist droid B2EMO, and fresh from her starring role alongsideGlen PowellinHit Man,Adria ArjonaBix Caleen. Speaking in an interview withEntertainment Weeklyabout her role as Bix in Season 2, Arjona said:
“Throughout the season, all of our characters evolve because there’s so much time. There’s a time gap in between every couple of episodes. So this season, for me, is super interesting because I get to grow with Bix. And it continues to happen throughout the entire season. So you get to meet, like, three different versions of Bix.There’s an anger that I hope builds in Bix. Whether it’s revenge or whether it’s a closeness with Cassian because he saved her — of course she has to lean in. She’s always been a part of it, and I think by episode 9 of season 1, it was obvious someone must do something.”
AndorSeason 2 will also bring with it some exciting new additions. This includes the ever-brilliantBen Mendelsohnreprising his role as the villainous Orson Krennic fromRogue One: A Star Wars Story, and the exciting addition ofAlan Tudykas the snarky droid K-2SO, anotherRogue Onereprisal. Speaking of his arrival inAndorSeason 2,Tudyk exclusively told Collider:
“Tony Gilroy is a very skilled writer. He’s a big-brained guy. It’ll be interesting for people to see K-2SO in that world because he was such a smartass, and there was a lot of humor around his being there.”
What is ‘Andor’ Season 2 About?
Although an exact plot synopsis has not yet been released, with many speculating exactly what fine details may emerge in the coming weeks and months, there has been enough teased to start piecing together whatAndorSeason 2 may entail. Originally intended to be told over five seasons, creatorTony Gilroy officially made the decision to condense that into just two, with Season 2 expected to deal with four, three-episode arcs known as “blocks” told across 12 episodes. Each of these blocks will depict a 12-month period that is important to the development of the Rebel Alliance, with writerBeau Willimon had to sayexplaining:
“Season 2 Is covering four years in the same amount of time that we covered one. So there’s an acceleration. So you have all this knowledge of the characters, and the world, and momentum. And Tony’s always had a long-game picture of how we get to the fifth year in terms of the story of Cassian Andor, but now you’re dealing with this fresh new challenge in a wonderful way of this acceleration of story, and of evolution over time, which is I think really exciting. That’s about as much as we could probably say about Season 2.”
Perhaps the most inviting update on Season 2 yet has come from Luna himself, with his interview withEntertainment Weeklyshedding fascinating light on what fans can expect. After admitting, “It was delicious to get to work with Alan again and be on the same set with him. It just helps fulfill the full circle.” Luna added, “You’re going to see why K-2 is so important inRogue One,and how does he get to be such an important character for the Rebellion.” Luna then set pulses racing by referring to how it is set to change the way fans viewRogue Oneforever, saying:
“I think people watching Rogue One, after watching season 2, are going to see a different film. Everything will be signified differently knowing what had to happen for K-2 to be there. It’s going to make you witness the journey of Rogue One in a different way, I think. And not just with K-2, but with many other characters. I think it’ll be really cool.”
Who is Behind ‘Andor’ Season 2?
Once again,creator and showrunner Gilroy will be back at the helm,helping to bring a consistent transition from the critically acclaimed first outing into the second. Gilroy is reported to have written the first three episodes of the season, with other writers including Willimon,Dan Gilroy, andTom Bissell.
