'Andor' Season 2 Trailer, Key Art Find Its One Way Out
The revolution kicks into high gear for the 'Star Wars' series returning April 22 on Disney+
It’s a wonderful springtime for Varada Sethu. Just before the specific April date that Doctor Who will be premiering its new season was revealed (April 12), where she will be playing new companion Belinda Chandra, Star Wars released the trailer for the long-awaited second season of Andor, the Disney+ series where she starred in her previously-most prominent role as Cinta Kaz, which will premiere ten days later on the streamer on April 22.
The trailer sees war is in full force as our characters march forward. It’s described as “a tense cacophony of blaster fire and explosions”. Saw Gerrera, played once again by Forest Whitaker, watches on. The trailer is set to Steve Earle’s “The Revolution Starts Now”. Cassian Andor, played by Diego Luna, meets up with allies and gets apprehended by stormtroopers and there’s a lot of Orson Krennic, played by Ben Mendelsohn, reprising his role from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story as quite a few have. It is the story the series is marching toward after all. “Remember this moment,” Gerrera ends the trailer. “You’re here. You’re right here and you’re ready to fight.”

'Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man' Release Schedule Finishes It Before 'Daredevil: Born Again'
The series was created by Tony Gilroy, who also serves as an executive producer along with Kathleen Kennedy, Sanne Wohlenberg, Luke Hull, and John Gilroy. Season one encompassed the fifth year before Rogue One, and the murder of two “corpo” guards led Cassian to meet Luthen Rael, played by Stellan Skarsgård, a leader in the budding Resistance movement. Assisting with and escaping the heist of an Imperial payroll, he still wound up imprisoned. Andor did make a jailbreak, going home to Ferrix for his mother’s funeral, and managed to elude capture by every faction hunting him. The season ended with Andor reuniting with Luthen aboard a Fondor to further assist the Resistance. Season two sees relationships intensify, as well as political intrigue, danger, tension, and high stakes, with betrayals, sacrifices and conflicting agendas as the moment draws near and Cassian’s importance increases. Everyone will be tested.
The second season’s twelve episodes have long been known to cover the final 4 years before that fateful last mission, every three episodes making up one of those years. Not only is it confirmed, but it’s guiding the season’s release format: Each “chapter” will be released together, the entire year being chronicled at once. The entire season will be run over four weeks. Tony wrote the first three episodes, with Beau Willimon writing the second three, Dan Gilroy the third and Tom Bissell writing the finishing trio. Ariel Kleiman directed the front six episodes, Janus Metz directed the next three and Alonso Ruizpalacios the final three.
“One of the great thrills of making Andor is the scale of the story and the number of characters we’re able to meet — ordinary people, Imperial overlords, passionate revolutionaries,” Tony Gilroy says. “They are real people making epic decisions, all of them staring down questions with terrifying consequences. Cassian’s journey is the soul and spine of our story, but it’s the choir that makes the show. I’m so excited for audiences to see where we go in Season 2.” In addition to Luna, Skarsgård, Sethu, Mendelsohn, and Whitaker, the new season also stars Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma, Denise Gough as Imperial Security Bureau strategic supervisor Dedra Meero, Kyle Soller as Deputy Inspector Syril Karn, Adria Arjona as Andor’s friend mechanic and black market dealer Biz Caleen, Faye Marsay as Rebel leader and Mothma cousin Vel Sartha, Elizabeth Dulau as Luthen’s assistant Kleya Marki, and Alan Tudyk as his Rogue One droid K2SO.
