Draft:Andor season 1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first season of the American television series Andor is part of the Star Wars franchise and a prequel to the film Rogue One (2016), which in turn is a direct prequel to the original Star Wars film (1977). The season begins five years before the events of those films and shows how a thief, Cassian Andor, is radicalized against the oppressive Galactic Empire. It also explores how the wider Rebel Alliance is formed and efforts by the Empire to stop this. The season was produced by Lucasfilm with Tony Gilroy serving as showrunner.

Diego Luna stars as the title character, reprising his role from Rogue One. Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Stellan Skarsgård, Fiona Shaw, Genevieve O'Reilly, and Denise Gough also star. The series was announced in November 2018, with Luna attached and Stephen Schiff hired as showrunner. By April 2020, Schiff was replaced by Rogue One co-writer Gilroy as creator and showrunner. Filming began at the end of November, with Gilroy unable to direct as planned due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming took place at Pinewood Studios in London and on location around the United Kingdom, and wrapped by September 2021.
The season premiered on the streaming service Disney+ on September 21, 2022, with its first three episodes. The rest of the season's 12 episodes were released weekly until November 23. A second season was confirmed in May 2022.
