They’re starting filming the 2nd season this month supposedly. Who knew Serkis was such a good actor. Skarsgård’s speech and the end was great, that’s some award baiting stuff.

It’s by far the best of these series. Good acting, compelling plot, etc.

I read it’s already shot unless they are doing reshoots or something. I’d guess they are already cutting the next season together. I think they shoot all this stuff at one time since you have everyone together and it would suck if you have a main character die or something.

Good writing can really save you. A lot of shows would give one episode to all of those 3 show arcs and fail to build any tension. Making them 3 episode arcs really gives them a chance to open it all up. The risk is obviously if it’s written like shit you have 3 boring episodes and not 1.

For whatever Wikipedia is worth

Never put together that Skarsgård is Captain Tupalov in Hunt for Red October. Also Andor totally would have iced the 2 guys in the control room, no way he lets them live.

This is discouraging news. I'd be surprised it would take 9 months to shoot but what do I know? Just don't understand why they would wait almost 2 years to finish the story. I guess we will see.

Kind of a slower episode until Luthen gets cornered. That was an awesome couple of minutes there. Ramping up for a pretty good finale and I sure hope it is longer than 45 minutes. I have to assume that all of our characters will be in pretty much one spot next week.

This should be a learning experience for Disney but Rise of Skywalker was supposed to be a learning experience and they didn't learn anything from that. People cancel Disney+ after a bunch of garbage shows then they make a good one and nobody is there to see it.

Interesting. You have to hope that people actually saw Rogue One. This show is so far outside the realm of the usual Star Wars film. I’m not sure people will watch something without mindless Stormtrooper battles and tons of action.

I don't really trust those clickbait sites, but it's probably not that far off. You'd think they'd do the first three episodes since that's the full story arc. Unless they want people to have to subscribe to finish it, but who's even adding services anymore?

A really good 1st half finale for Andor. I’m actually sad I won’t have this show to look forward to anymore. Going to be quite a while for them to shoot the second half and get it edited etc… I still can’t believe they didn’t just shoot it all but I suppose that would have been risky if it had been a critical flop. It’s already a ratings disappointment but that has nothing to do with the actual show. It’s been phenomenal

If you do happen to watch the finale make sure you watch until the end of the credits. The mystery of what they were building in the prison camp is revealed.

I saw it, what was it? Looked like a space station. I'm not a starwars guy..Andor was pretty damn good, better than all the new statwars movies and better than mandolorian.

started watching it last night. for some reason i thought henry thomas was in this and then realized RLM was probably making a comment like "the guy who looks like and should be henry thomas" as the imperial deputy.

i like the tone of the show, much like i liked it for "rogue one".

i'm through 7 episodes, and it really is damn good. it unfolds like a really good novel, and though there are a bunch of characters to follow, each has an interesting angle and purpose.

diego luna brings a lot to a (literally) small character. he is instantly believable and strong, but i like that he's not pigeonholed into an archetype. there's always something going on in his head but he doesn't telegraph it.

definitely makes me want to watch "rogue one" again after this has finished with season 2.

Finished episode 10 this morning. Just awesome.

i read that this was intended to be a 5 season show, but because of the huge lag between the production and completion of the first season, gilroy decided to truncate it to 2 seasons...which i think is going to strengthen the show. i'm through the first 10 episodes, and while it's been extremely well done, there were some tedious sequences in the 8th and 9th episodes that bogged it down a bit. having to go through more seasons is not the answer. theoretically it allows more character growth and plot development. but what winds up happening is that it just gets bloated and padded out.

restricting this story, which we already know the ending of, is a good thing. i mean the first season is basically like one long movie (which is the structure of most new shows now). 4 more 12 hour long movies would be overkill.

it also forces the writing to be tighter. probably will finish the 1st season in the next few days, and will be fresh in my mind when season 2 drops (although the scheduling is a bit odd).

W_Z I’m sure you would have but definitely watch through the credits on the last episode.

definitely a cool last shot in the end credits scene (and at least i can fast forward to get there). so that's what those little cogs they were building in the prison were for.

the funeral procession build up went on a little long, as you knew what was coming. still, the season ended strong and i definitely feel like it should be 2 seasons total. a set-up and payoff season to get to "rogue one" is appropriate.

I am digging they way they are releasing this series.

Andor Season 2 will premiere on April 22, 2025, with a three-episode release on Disney+. The final season has 12 episodes in total. Disney+ will release the rest in blocks of three each week: Episodes 4–6 on April 29, Episodes 7–9 on May 6, and Episodes 10–12 on May 13.

Sounds like I should finish season 1. It must get more interesting.

First two episodes of new season under my belt. Pretty slow going out of the gates, I know they are just building the story so not real worried. Getting very good reviews across the board.

Very good 3rd episode, can't wait for the next 3. I guess each 3 episode installment encompasses a year closer to Rogue One, so this set of episodes was 4 years out.
