Following the conclusion of Andor’s first season, lead star Diego Luna has teased fans with what they can expect from the second season of the Star Wars spinoff.
In an extensive interview with Entertainment Weekly, Luna spoke about his experience on the Disney+ show, before explaining that season and final season wouldn’t be coming to screens any time soon.
“You're gonna have to wait a little bit [for season two] because each season is like four movies; it takes time,” he revealed. “The only thing I can promise is that we'll do it with the same respect, rigour, intensity, and energy.

"We're not going to rush it. I mean, that's the beauty of this show. It's just two seasons, and we can concentrate and try to deliver something as good or even better."
The actor, who also appeared in 2016’s Rogue One, revealed that production on the second season had started quickly, leaving him without much time to rest.

“We just started. It's like I didn't stop. I think I finished the first season like two or three weeks ago,” he said.
“That's the big difference of this format, we never stop working […] We're about to start this new ride for the second season, which is a long one. But we're doing it with this beautiful feeling of knowing we did something that people cared about.”

The second season is due to complete filming in August 2023, with showrunner Tony Gilroy promising it would be “different” from the first season.
"I’m hoping what we’re gonna do in the second half will make the meal feel really satisfying,” he said (via Rolling Stone). "The first year is really about him becoming, and the last line of this tranche of 12 episodes will sum up where we’ve been trying to get to. And we come back a year later. It’ll be very different.”
Andor is streaming on Disney+.
