Andor season 2 confirms return of big-screen villain

As a lifelong Star Wars enthusiast who has witnessed the saga unfold through the decades, I can hardly contain my excitement for the return of Andor! The announcement that Orson Krennic will be making a comeback in season two is nothing short of electrifying. I still remember the chills running down my spine when he first appeared on screen in Rogue One, and now, he’s back to wreak more havoc!


In the continuation of the “Star Wars” spin-off series, “Andor,” it’s been announced that a notorious villain from the silver screen will reappear in season two.

At Disney’s D23 Expo 2024, it was officially announced that Ben Mendelsohn will reprise his role as Orson Krennic. In the movie “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”, Krennic was the director of the Death Star project who met his fate when his own space station exploded during the Empire’s decision to destroy Scarif while under Rebel attack.

In the upcoming second season, we’ll see Forest Whitaker reprising his role as Saw Gerrera, who made a brief appearance last season. Also returning is Cassian Andor, along with his droid companion K-2SO, and the show will delve into how they first crossed paths.

In the new clip, we see Genevieve O’Reilly reprising her role as Mon Mothma, a significant character from season one.

To the D23 audience (through Entertainment Weekly), Diego Luna, the actor portraying Cassian, expressed his gratitude for the immense interest in season one. In numerous aspects, playing Cassian in Rogue One has significantly impacted his life. It’s awe-inspiring to be Cassian Andor.

Moving forward, wrapping up the last part of this puzzle by concluding the narrative that originated in season one and linking it to the happenings in “Rogue One” feels like a remarkable full-circle moment for me.

In the second part of our tale, we’ll delve into Cassian’s journey spanning four years, transforming him from a rebel into the hero who makes his fateful sacrifice, as portrayed in “Rogue One”. Each moment showcases Cassian’s metamorphosis into a catalyst for revolution. However, in this phase, the risks are higher, the opposition is better-structured, and time is running out, he noted.

With the Imperial danger escalating and borders growing perilous, Cassian is driven by a profound motivation: to battle for liberty and strive towards a brighter future.

Andor season 2 will come to Disney+ in 2025.
