| Diego Luna Supports Disney’s Decision to End Andor After Season 2. |
Star Wars fans, it’s official: Andor will wrap up its story with just two seasons on Disney+. And while some viewers might be disappointed, lead star Diego Luna is fully on board with the decision.
In a recent chat with TechRadar, Luna shared his thoughts on the upcoming second season of Andor and Disney’s choice to end the series. According to Luna, the team behind the show—including showrunner Tony Gilroy—feels grateful they got the chance to tell the complete story they wanted to tell.
“From the beginning, we knew what we wanted to do,” Luna said. “Structurally, the plan changed because we soon realized we couldn't commit to five seasons. It takes a lot of energy, time, and money to make one, because each season takes two and a half years of our lives.”
Originally, Andor was planned to run for five seasons, ultimately connecting directly to the events of Rogue One. However, the production cost turned out to be incredibly high. A report from Forbes last year revealed that the first two seasons of Andor cost around $645 million to produce. With Disney looking to cut costs under CEO Bob Iger’s leadership, continuing beyond season two became unrealistic.
Luckily, Gilroy came up with a creative solution. While filming season one, he suggested condensing the entire four-season arc into just one more season with 12 episodes. Luna called it “a great idea.”
This final season will use a unique storytelling format. It’s split into four blocks, with each block covering one year in the timeline leading up to Rogue One. Each year will be told across three episodes, giving every mini-arc enough space to shine.
“A lot of shows start without knowing where or when they're going to end,” Luna said. “But from beginning to end, we told the story we wanted to tell—and that's a beautiful thing to be able to do.”
Despite fans wishing for more, Luna seems at peace with how things turned out. He emphasized the importance of telling a full, satisfying story rather than stretching it out unnecessarily. And with season 2 expected to bring a powerful conclusion, there's still a lot to look forward to.
Andor Season 2 premieres on April 22 in the US and April 23 in the UK and Australia, exclusively on Disney+.
So, if you haven’t caught up on season 1 yet, now’s the perfect time to dive into what many fans and critics call one of the best Star Wars shows ever made.
Stay tuned for more updates, interviews, and exclusive content from the Andor cast as the launch date approaches!
