Originally spotted by Aldo on Twitter, on the Disney+ mobile app, the tile advertising Andor has been updated to reflect the upcoming season’s release date, with the bottom of the poster for the show reading “Season 2 coming April 22.” In addition to marking two years and five months after the season 1 finale, which aired in November 23, 2022, this release date will come hot on the heels of the fan convention Star Wars Celebration. The next convention takes place between April 18 and April 20, 2025, leaving just a two-day hiatus between the end of the event and the premiere of the new season.
Ugh. Why?
Andor was so good. Now they’ll muck it up just like subsequent seasons of the Mandalorian.
Star Wars universe is vast, with the potential for thousands of great stories. Disney should be exploring all sorts of new stories in different areas of the galaxy as single season engagements. I’d find this much more compelling than the continued return to the same tired characters and locations.
You do know that the plan all along was two seasons as a prequel to Rogue One, right?
