The makers of Andor appeared at Star Wars Celebration in London today to reveal all about Season 2 of the critically acclaimed Star Wars series, including an exciting release date window.
Star Wars Celebration is happening in London this weekend, with fans from all over the planet converging on the Excel Centre to celebrate all that happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
Today it was Andor in the spotlight, with executive producer Tony Gilroy and star Diego Luna taking to the stage to look back on the production, release, and reception received by Season 1.
However, the creative team also looked to the future of the show via some exciting news about Season 2.
Andor Season 2 set to release in August 2024
Gilroy said they hope to release Andor Season 2 in August 2024. The “second half” of the show is currently shooting, with production set to last until August this year. Another year will then be spent on post-production, with the show set to release in 2024.
“We started shooting in November. We’re about halfway. We’re gonna shoot through August. We’re on exact schedule. [We’ll] finish in August, spend another year on post. I suppose we’ll come out the following August,” Gilroy said.

During the panel, he added: “If you know your ending it really helps. We know exactly where we’re going – it means that we can go full force. Like the escape from the prison,” he said.
“We know emotionally and physically what we have to do. It’s been really potent.”
A sizzle real for the upcoming season was also shown during the panel, which suggests there’s going to be lots more action in Season 2. It opened with someone saying: “I had a feeling you were coming back soon… if we do not stand together, we will be crushed,” while showing Cassian, Dedra, Syril, and Bix together.
“You know where we’re going. You saw that Death Star blow up. We make that happen,” Gilroy also said.
“We’re really doing what we’ve been doing for three years. It’s a train that just keeps rolling. We’re moving as quickly as we can to finish it out and make you proud of us.”
