It was actually supposed to start this year. However, due to the Hollywood strike, the original schedule for the second season of Andor could not be adhered to. The return of the best Star Wars series is now announced. Lucasfilm has announced a simple teaser image and the official launch date.
When does Andor season 2 start on Disney+?
The second season of Andor starts on April 22, 2024 on Disney+. A total of 12 new episodes await us, which are expected to be published every week. Just like the debut round, the new season is divided into blocks. Each block is made up of three episodes and covers a year in the life of Cassian Andor.
The second season therefore leads directly into the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The new title also suggests this. From now on, Andor has the addition A Star Wars Storyas can be seen in the teaser image with the logo. This is particularly exciting because Lucasfilm has only used this label twice so far.

Only the two spin-off films Rogue One and Solo have the addition of A Star Wars Story in the title. Originally, even more offshoots of this type were planned. However, after the financial flop of Solo, Lucasfilm turned a few of these projects into series – and abandoned A Star Wars Story as a recurring tag.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is listed as Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+. The Mandalorian as The Mandalorian, Ahsoka as Ahsoka and The Acolyte as The Acolyte. Only for The Book of Boba Fett was Lucasfilm a little more playful in its choice of title. But there is no sign of a Star Wars story anywhere.
It remains to be seen whether there is a major rethink behind the title change of Andor or whether it is simply due to the proximity to Rogue One. After six years without a new Star Wars story, we definitely didn’t expect to see the label in connection with a Star Wars project again.
Before Andor Season 2, Skeleton Crew starts on Disney+
Even before Andor’s return, we can expect the start of a completely new Star Wars series on Disney+: Skeleton Crew tells the story of four children who get lost in space and, in search of their home planet, meet a mysterious Force user named Jude Law is embodied.
Skeleton Crew Season 1 premieres on December 4, 2024 its premiere on Disney+. We can expect eight episodes inspired by the Amblin films of the 1980s, most notably The Goonies. In the Star Wars universe, Skeleton Crew can be classified in the corner of The Mandalorian and Co.
