‘Andor’ Season 1: Episode Count and Release Schedule on Disney+
Andor is the latest Star Wars series to debut on Disney+, and the show promises to take a deep dive into the titular Cassian Andor’s (Diego Luna) past, showcasing the Rebel spy’s previous run-ins with the Empire. Viewers first met Cassian in Rogue One, but Andor gives the character a chance to shine separate from Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) and the rest of their allies. How many episodes of Andor can Star Wars fans expect, and when do they debut on Disney+?
What is ‘Andor’ about?
If you’re still on the fence about diving into Andor, the Disney+ show promises to craft a compelling story in the coming episodes. The Rogue One prequel will bring us to the time period before the original Star Wars trilogy, when the Empire showcased a great deal of strength — and the rebellion first realized they could push back.
Cassian will be part of the Rebel efforts to undermine the Empire, and he’s likely to play a prominent role in mobilizing people against the enemy. Heading into the premiere, that’s all we really know about Star Wars’ latest.
Per Disney+, here’s the official synopsis for Andor:
“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.”
How many episodes are in ‘Andor’ Season 1?
So now that we know what Andor is about, how many episodes can we expect from season 1 — and from the series in total?
Andor will be released in two parts, spanning 24 episodes overall. Twelve of them will make up its first season, which will run from September through November. That makes Andor the lengthiest Disney+ series from Lucasfilm. In fact, even Marvel hasn’t dropped a season with more than 10 episodes since the platform’s inception.
But with Andor poised to dive deeper into the rebellion, two 12-episode seasons feels like a welcome development. There’s no word on when we’ll see the second half of Andor, but read on to learn the release schedule for season 1.
