The Disney+ series "Andor" took many by surprise with its exceptional quality, serving as a prequel to the prequel film, Rogue One. This series delves into the life of Cassian Andor, portrayed by Diego Luna, as he evolves from a petty thief into a pivotal revolutionary figure. Even with the foreknowledge of Andor's eventual fate, the series captivates viewers with its deep intrigue and richly human stories, culminating in what is widely considered the best live-action Star Wars show to date.
After a two-and-a-half-year hiatus, "Andor" returns for its second and final season, and the anticipation seems justified. In his 9/10 review, Clint Gage praises Andor Season 2 for "building on nearly everything that worked so well about Season 1, and continues fleshing out the prequel era of Star Wars. Ultimately the tale of the unsung heroes of the rebellion, Andor creates very personal stories at the heart of a much larger struggle."
Andor Season 2 premieres tonight on Disney+, with an unconventional episode release schedule. Here's all you need to know to catch the latest episodes:

In addition to streaming on Disney+, you can own "Andor" Season 1 on Blu-ray or in 4K, which comes with a number of exclusive special features not available on the streaming service.
Andor Season 2 picks up right after Season 1 and leads directly into the events of "Rogue One." Unfortunately, this means Season 2 is the final chapter for Andor. Given the Star Wars timeline, expect some time jumps as we cover the four years following the Season 1 finale.
However, this is not the end for Star Wars. More live-action movies are in the works, including one directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Gosling. There have also been whispers of a Star Wars horror project from Andor's showrunner Tony Gilroy. Additionally, several Star Wars games are in development, such as Bit Company's tactical game "Star Wars Zero Company." Look out for more announcements on Star Wars Day, May 4.
Andor Season 2 brings back many familiar faces from both the first season and "Rogue One." Here's the starring cast:
