Andor Season 2 - D23 Brazil

The 12 episodes of season two carry the story of Cassian Andor and the emerging rebel alliance over the climactic four years that lead to the discovery of The Death Star and the events of Rogue One. The first season followed Cassian’s reluctant journey from cynical nobody to revolutionary volunteer. Andor Season 2 will see him transform from soldier to leader to hero on the way to his epic destiny.

From the very first scene, Cassian’s story has activated an ever-widening ensemble of allies and enemies. Season two will see these relationships intensify as the horizon of galactic war draws near. Everyone will be tested, and as the stakes rise, the betrayals, sacrifices, and conflicting agendas will become profound.

In a pre-recorded video, director Jon Favreau and producer Dave Filoni introduced the audience to a special sneak peek of Lucasfilm’s The Mandalorian and Grogu, the upcoming Star Wars feature film that will open in theaters on May 22, 2026. Starring Pedro Pascal and Sigourney Weaver, directed by Jon Favreau and produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Favreau, Filoni, and Ian Bryce, this new adventure in the Mandalorian and Grogu’s journey is currently in production.
