The first season of Tony Gilroy’s critically acclaimed “Star Wars” series “Andor” is currently airing on the Disney+ service, with the showrunner already heavily preparing for the show’s second season.
Speaking with Collider recently, Gilroy revealed the new slate of directors that are hopping onboard to direct episodes of the second season which isn’t expected to air until 2024.
TV veteran Ariel Kleiman (“Yellowjackets,” “The Resort”), Danish filmmaker Janus Metz (“All the Old Knives”), and Alonso Ruizpalacios (“Outer Range,” “Narcos: Mexico”) are set to direct episode blocks in the second season, with Kleiman to direct two blocks of three episodes each whilst the other two will direct one block of three episodes each.
They take over from Toby Haynes, Susanna White and Benjamin Caron, who had a similar directorial approach on the show’s first season with Haynes being the one to get the double block.
Gabriel Luna, Duncan Pow, Forest Whitaker, Genevieve O’Reilly, Stellan Skarsgård, Adria Arjona, Fiona Shaw, Kyle Soller, Elizabeth Dulau, Faye Marsay, and Varada Sethu star in the series. The first nine episodes are streaming now on the Disney+ service.
