How to watch 'Andor' Season 2: Streaming time, cast and character guide, Season 1 recap

After nearly three years, Disney's Andor is back for Season 2. The Star Wars political thriller will pick up with rebel Cassian Andor a year after the events of Season 1. Season 2 will see four time jumps, landing us in the days leading up to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Diego Luna, Genevieve O'Reilly, Stellan Skarsgård and Adria Arjona are reprising their roles for Season 2. Alan Tudyk will (finally) be joining the cast as K-2SO, who fans of Rogue One were eager to see sooner in the series. But K-2SO isn't the only cameo we can expect. Series creator Tony Gilroy has teased "some [cameos] that are inevitable, [and] there are some that are surprising."

Are you ready for Andor Season 2? Here's everything you need to know, including how to watch, the episode release schedule and times, a season 1 recap and more.

Will there be an Andor Season 3?

The second season will be the last for Andor, as this season will catch us up on the events leading up to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Where does Andor fall in the Star Wars timeline?

Season 1 of Andor takes place in 5 BBY, or five years before the Death Star's destruction at the Battle of Yavin in A New Hope. However, it seems Season 2 will feature some time jumps in Cassian Andor's story. The second season will be broken up into four arcs much like Season 1, with the first episode of Season 2 picking up a year after the end of Season 1. Each of the four arcs will then see a year time jump, up to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
