Just ahead of the release of the second season of the Disney+ Original series “Andor: A Star Wars Story”, Disney hosted a special sneak peek event at the Lightroom in Kings Cross in London on Thursday evening.

The second season of “Andor” takes place as the horizon of war draws near and Cassian becomes a key player in the Rebel Alliance. Everyone will be tested and, as the stakes rise, the betrayals, sacrifices and conflicting agendas will become profound. Rife with political intrigue and danger, the series is a prequel to “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” which portrayed a heroic band of rebels who steal the plans to the Empire’s weapon of mass destruction—The Death Star—setting the stage for the events of the original 1977 film. “Andor” sets the clock back five years from the events of “Rogue One” to tell the story of the film’s hero, Cassian Andor, and his transformation from disinterested, cynical nobody into a rebel hero on his way to an epic destiny.  

The exciting event heralded the final season of the critically acclaimed series, which brings Cassian Andor’s story to its heroic conclusion. Guests were treated to a recap of Season 1 and an exclusive look at the upcoming season, followed by a conversation with Tony Gilroy (creator, writer, executive producer), Sanne Wohlenberg (executive producer), Kathleen Kennedy (President of Lucasfilm) and Diego Luna (star, executive producer). In addition to Luna, the event was attended by stars Stellan Skarsgård, Genevieve O’Reilly, Denise Gough, Adria Arjona, Faye Marsay and Ben Mendelsohn, all of whom greeted guests alongside Imperial stormtroopers.

The final season will unfold over 12 episodes broken down into four chapters of three episodes each. The first chapter of season 2 will premiere on April 22nd 2025 at 6pm PT/9pm ET, with subsequent chapters debuting each week, exclusively on Disney+.    The first season of “Andor: A Star Wars Story” is also available to stream on Disney+.
