Andor season 2 is one of the more highly-anticipated Star Wars TV shows, meaning many questions are being asked about the project. Initially, Andor was intended to last five seasons, before being confirmed as two seasons leading into the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. With Andor season 1 featuring a few relatively self-contained story arcs before culminating in the finale, Andor season 2 is expected to more closely resemble Rogue One, both in of its titular character and the show's timeline.

The dramatic ending of Andor season 1 saw Diego Luna's Cassian Andor the Rebel Alliance, setting him up for a second season in which he will wage his personal war against the Empire. Beyond that, little has been revealed about the overall plot, which will span the five years between Andor season 1 and Rogue One. Here's everything that's known to date.

Andor Season 2 Trailer & Story

The Andor season 2 trailer sets up an epic confrontation with the Empire, showcasing the return of iconic locations such as Coruscant and even Yavin 4. It seems to confirm the show will open with the wedding of Mon Mothma's daughter, while another arc featuring Cassian himself promises to see him infiltrate Sienar Labs to steal a prototype TIE Avenger. No doubt the trailer's release is just the beginning of the show's marketing.

Andor Season 2 Story Details

There have been a few teases and hints about Andor season 2's plot. Showrunner Tony Gilroy has confirmed that Andor season 2 will be split into four three-episode installments, each depicting a 12-month period that is important to the development of the Rebel Alliance. It will include Yavin 4, the jungle planet that served as the base of operations for the Rebel Alliance in Rogue One and the first Star Wars movie, which makes sense as the show heads toward 0 BBY in the Star Wars timeline.

At D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Convention, the return of both Ben Mendelsohn's Director Orson Krennic and Alan Tudyk's K-2SO were confirmed in exclusive footage. It was also confirmed that Andor season 2 will be released in 2025. In the exclusive sizzle reel, Gilroy hinted at an even larger scale with even higher stakes than season 1. Separately from D23, Adria Arjona, who plays Cassian's close friend Bix, teased a surprising arc that's full of twists. Beyond this, nothing is currently known about the story.

The timeline could lead to big moments known to come from Mon Mothma in Andor season 2. In Star Wars Rebels, it was revealed that Mon Mothma left Coruscant and officially formed the Rebel Alliance after the Ghorman Massacre. This event could be featured in Andor season 2, as could several other interesting, exciting, tension-filled moments that allow the Rebel Alliance to become the Empire-fighting force it is in the original Star Wars movie.
