More than a couple of years after the Disney+ premiere of the first season, the first footage for Star Wars: Andor Season 2 has finally been released. Fans were hoping that the first trailer for Andor Season 2 would be released during D23 Brazil over the weekend, but that sneak peek that was shown to those in attendance wasn't released online. However, today, the first official footage was revealed as part of a new promo video highlighting various projects coming to Disney+ in 2025.
The teaser only lasts for 10 seconds, but it reveals an exciting look at the highly-anticipated sequel. Diego Luna returns to the titular role of Cassian Andor, and we see Bix Caleen (Adria Arjona) telling him that they "need a pilot" for a TIE Fighter. We also see Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård) encouraging Cassian to stop being a solider and to "think like a leader". The trailer clearly shows that Cassian and the Rebellion are in bigger trouble than before, with the ruthlessness and reach of the Empire rising by the day.
A couple of Andor Season 2 promo stills were also revealed, one of which features Cassian's former Imperial Droid sidekick K-2SO (voiced by Alan Tudyk):
This first footage of Andor Season 2 comes just a few days after it was officially announced that the show would be making its return on Disney+ on April 22, 2025. Season 1 of the series takes place over one year, but the second season of Andor will stretch out the story even further. Season 2 will span four years leading up to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, with the 12-episode season being divided into four three-episode parts.
During an appearance at this ACE Superhero Comic Con 2024 (via The Popverse), Luna shared his enthusiasm for the return of the acclaimed Star Wars series, while confirming that we will see other characters from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story during the second season.
“I can tell you, Rogue One is coming, so there will be characters there that you will recognize. There will be cool stuff," Luna teased. "For those who love Rogue One, this season is going to be very special. And it’s going to be fascinating to go straight to Rogue One after watching this second season, because you will see Rogue One from a different perspective. I promise you that.”
“It’s fantastic,” Luna added “The only thing I can tell you is what happens at the end. It’s the world upside down. That’s the only thing you don’t talk about in an interview, but here we all know what the end is. I can tell you one thing, Tony Gilroy is a fantastic writer, and he created amazing characters that we got to meet in Andor season one. It’s going to be a very rich second season, because all those stories matter today. It is a true ensemble piece. It got very complicated in season one, and everything has to get resolved. Every story matters.”
Many fans assumed that Luna was referring to K-2SO, but The Playlist reported that Ben Mendelsohn will reprise his villainous role as Imperial Officer Orson Krennic
