Andor Season 2: When and Where Will the Second Season Be Filmed?

By Patrick Fitzgerald On Nov 27, 2022

The American science fiction action-adventure television series Andor, commonly referred to as Star Wars: Andor was developed by Tony Gilroy for the Disney+ streaming service. It is a prequel to both the 2016 spin-off movie Rogue One and the original Star Wars movie, making it the fourth live-action series in the Star Wars universe (1977). The series follows Cassian Andor, a former burglar turned Rebel agent, over the five years leading up to the events of the two movies. As Cassian Andor, Diego Luna returns, and he also works as an executive producer.

Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Joplin Sibtain, James McArdle, Rupert Vansittart, Stell In November 2018, Lucasfilm revealed a project centered on Andor, with Luna as a cast member and Stephen Schiff as the showrunner.

In April 2020, Schiff was replaced as creator and showrunner by the co-author of Rogue One, Tony Gilroy. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Gilroy was unable to direct as scheduled, therefore filming started at the end of November 2020. By September 2021, all of the filmings had been completed, both at Pinewood Studios in London and on-location in other parts of the UK.

Andor Season 2 Release Date

Three episodes from the first season of Andor debuted on Disney+ on September 21, 2022. In addition to receiving praise for its writing, directing, and performances (especially those of Luna, Skarsgard, O’Reilly, and Serkis), it also won praise for its action scenes, visual effects, musical score, and darker, more mature tone than other Star Wars films.

The remaining episodes of the season were distributed every week till November 23. In London, a second season is now being filmed. It will wrap up the series and set the stage for Rogue One’s events.

Andor Season 2 Cast

Stellan Skarsgrd will reprise his role as the rebel commander Luthen Rael in Season 2 of the television series Andor along with Diego Luna as Cassian Andor. No other Season 1 actors have been confirmed for Season 2, but it’s likely that Kyle Soller, who plays civil servant Syril Karn, Adria Arjona, who plays Cassian’s friend Bix Caleen, Genevieve O’Reilly, who plays Imperial senator and covert Rebel leader Mon Mothma, Denise Gough, who plays Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) supervisor Deedra Meero, Faye Marsay, who plays rebel agent Vel Sartha, and Varada Se

Alan Tudyk, who played the reprogrammed Imperial droid K-2S0 in Rogue One, did not appear in the first season of Andor but may potentially make an appearance in the second. Although Tony Gilroy informed Tudyk that his character will feature in the series “later on,” Tudyk revealed in 2021 that he would not be in Season 1.

Andor Season 2 Expected Plot

While the second season of Andor has not yet been given a formal plot synopsis, it is anticipated that it will follow Cassian as he continues to solidify his position as a key figure within the Rebel Alliance as its various cells cooperate more.

“It’s no secret, I’ve said it a million times, the last episode of our show, we’ll walk [Cassian] across the tarmac into the ship on his way to the Ring of Kafrene to go begin the movie. So we’re going to have to be there, we’re gonna have to be in Yavin [+] #Andor pic.twitter.com/kp46ru0S6F

Although the first season of Andor takes place in 5 BBY (five years before the Battle of Yavin) and spans one year, Tony Gilroy explained that Season 2 is made up of three-episode arcs known as “blocks,” each of which spans four years and culminates in the events of Rogue One. The following is what author Beau Willimon had to say about this arrangement:

“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, 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.”

Yavin 4 will be one of the sites in Season 2, according to Gilroy. Although he didn’t elaborate, many Star Wars fans will recognize Yavin as the base of operations for the Rebel Alliance in Episode IV: A New Hope. Yavin 4 was depicted in Rogue One as well. Since Cassian was spotted on Yavin in the latter, it’s possible that he’ll accept missions there in Andor Season 2 as the Rebellion grows more cohesive.

When and Where Will the Second Season of Andor Be Film?

On November 21, 2022, Andor Season 2 began filming in London. It is anticipated that the shooting would end in August 2023.

Season 1 was one of the few times a live-action Star Wars show shot outside of the Volume soundstage, with most of the production taking place in actual locations and on real sets. Season 2 is likely to follow the same pattern. For additional information regarding Season 2’s extensive production schedule, go here.
