Disney+ has released the official trailer for the eagerly anticipated second season of Andor.
The full trailer, below, includes plenty of new footage from the Emmy-nominated Star Wars drama series.
The upcoming season will wrap the story and lead up to the events in the 2016 film Rogue One.
The official description of the new season: “Season two will see the characters and their relationships intensify 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.”
The trailer includes the return of Ben Mendelsohn as his Rogue One character Director Orson Callan Krennic, and Rogue One fan favorite droid K-2SO, which is voiced by Alan Tudyk.
The final season will unfold over 12 episodes broken down into four chapters of three episodes each. The first chapter will premiere April 22, with subsequent chapters debuting each week.
Creator Tony Gilroy says: “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. 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 two.”
Andor season two stars Luna, Stellan Skarsgård, Genevieve O’Reilly, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Faye Marsay, Varada Sethu, Elizabeth Dulau and Tudyk, with Mendelsohn and Forest Whitaker.
