Actor Stellan Skarsgard has seemingly confirmed that the upcoming “Star Wars” series “Andor” has not only been renewed for a second season, but already has a filming window set.
In an interview with Swedish publication Dagens Nyheter (via Star Wars News Net), Skarsgard spoke about his upcoming projects and indicated that he’ll jump into the second season of “Andor” as soon as he wraps his work on the second volume of Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune”.
“We start with ‘Dune: Part 2’ in July. And then in the Autumn, it’s time for the second season of the ‘Star Wars’ series ‘Andor’… I do not know when they will start broadcasting it. It will take some time, so that it does not take too long between season one and season two.”
One issue for the “Rogue One”-prequel series is its size. While “The Mandalorian” has eight-episode seasons and the currently airing “The Book of Boba Fett” has seven, the first season of “Andor” clocks in at twelve with the second likely to do the same.
As a result, it is on a longer production cycle than any of the other “Star Wars” shows on Disney+ so far. The news is also in line with what happened on “The Mandalorian” which was already headed into production on that show’s second season before the first had aired.
The first season of “Andor” is expected to arrive sometime later this year and stars Diego Luna, Skarsgard, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Robert Emms, Genevieve O’Reilly, Fiona Shaw, and Kyle Soller.
