Diego Luna ready to bid goodbye to Disney+ series 'Andor' after two seasons
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The science-fiction action-adventure limited series created by Tony Gilroy for the streaming service Disney+ first premiered in September 2022, and Diego Luna seemed extremely happy with his decision. Nevertheless, Diego Luna who is seen as the titular character in the 'Star Wars' series recently revealed he is done after two seasons of 'Andor'. The 'Star Wars' live-action television series 'Andor' has received tremendous acclaim for its gritty, bold, and dramatic vision of the 'Star Wars' Universe. One unique aspect of the presentation of 'Andor' is Lucasfilm's hard stance that the show will take two seasons and out of format, which means 'Andor' will definitively end for good after the second season, with series creator and showrunner Tony Gilroy already confirming that the second season of 'Andor' will indeed be the last for the show.
The plan is for the final scenes of 'Andor' to lead directly into the opening of 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.' Regardless the ensemble cast of the series also includes Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Fiona Shaw, Stellan Skarsgard, Denise Gough, Genevieve O'Reilly, Faye Marsay, Varada Sethu, and Elizabeth Dulau, among others.

'Andor's Diego Luna has opened up about the show ending after season two. The 'Star Wars' spin-off series, rather than outstaying its welcome, will be completing its story arc in just two outings, which although disappointing for some, the star of the show is happy about it. Luna, who plays Cassian Andor, revealed it ending after 24 episodes is "important for my mental health". "This is the last season for Andor,” Luna told Variety. "It is just a two-season show, which is really important for my mental health. But knowing this is the end, I want to enjoy it and get the best out of this experience." Cassian's story was always going to end with the events of 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,' which the actor said was a "remarkable" one to tell. "What this character does in Rogue One is quite remarkable, and what we are building shows what needs to happen in someone's life to be willing to sacrifice everything," he said.
When will 'Andor' Season 2 be released?
The first season of 'Andor' received critical acclaim, with praise for its writing, directing, performances, action sequences, musical score, and darker, more mature tone compared to previous 'Star Wars' projects. A second season is currently being filmed in London. It will conclude the series and lead into the events of 'Rogue One'. Regardless, the exact release date is still unknown of 'Andor' Season 2.
