‘Star Wars: Andor‘ has been given a new trailer along with a new premiere date Disney+ has announced today.
The ‘Andor’ series will explore a new perspective from the Star Wars galaxy, focusing on Cassian Andor’s journey to discover the difference he can make. The series brings forward the tale of the burgeoning rebellion against the Empire and how people and planets became involved. It’s an era filled with danger, deception and intrigue where Cassian will embark on the path that is destined to turn him into a rebel hero.
Diego Luna returns as Cassian Andor and is joined by cast members Genevieve O’Reilly, Stellan Skarsgård, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough and Kyle Soller.
The premiere date has been moved back, although no official reason has been given as to why. However, one possible reason could be to move it away from HBO’s ‘House of the Dragon’ launch. They have also said that the first three episodes will premiere together.
The executive producers on the drama are Kathleen Kennedy, Sanne Wohlenberg, Diego Luna and Michelle Rejwan. Tony Gilroy (‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’) is the creator and showrunner.
It was previously announced that the series would be returning for a second season. At 12 episodes each season, it will be one of the longest in length of all the Marvel and Star Wars Disney+ series, alongside the recently announced ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ series which was ordered for an 18-episode run.
This is the latest in a string of Star Wars projects coming to Disney+. We’ve already had two seasons of ‘The Mandalorian‘, which is due to return for a third, along with ‘The Book Of Boba Fett’, and ‘Obi-Wan’. On the animated side, we had a final season of ‘The Clone Wars’, along with new series ‘The Bad Batch‘, which is also due to return for a second season. In addition to all those, we have the ‘Ahsoka‘ live-action series, and High Republic-set drama ‘The Acolyte‘.
‘Andor‘ premieres Wednesday, 21st September 2022 on Disney+ worldwide with a 3-episode launch.
