Special Look: Star Wars Series “Andor” – Debuts On Disney+ September 21 With 3-Episode Premiere 

Disney+ has released the thrilling, final “Andor” trailer as well as a Special Look at the upcoming series.

“The series is a prequel to ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,’” explains creator and showrunner Tony Gilroy. “It rewinds back five years from the events of ‘Rogue One’ to follow Cassian Andor on his journey to get to the movie. We’ve done twelve episodes for the first season. The twelve episodes that we’ve done cover one year in time. We’re going to do another twelve that are going to take us over the next four years into ‘Rogue One.’”

The series is from Academy Award® and BAFTA-nominated writer/director/producer Tony Gilroy, who also wrote Episodes 1, 2, 3, 11 and 12. Gilroy, who cowrote “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” is known for writing and directing the critically acclaimed feature films “Michael Clayton” and “The Bourne Legacy” and wrote the first three Bourne Films: “The Bourne Identity,” The Bourne Supremacy,” and “The Bourne Ultimatum.”

The music for “Andor” is by Emmy®-winning composer Nicholas Britell (“Succession,” “Moonlight”).

“Andor,” a spy thriller from Lucasfilm filmed over two 12-episode seasons, takes place five years before the events of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” The era featured in “Andor” is filled with danger, deception and intrigue where Cassian will embark on the path that is destined to turn him into a rebel hero. “Andor” presents Star Wars from a different perspective, focusing on everyday people whose lives are affected by the Empire. The decisions they make have real consequences, and the stakes for them—and the galaxy—couldn’t be higher. 

The series stars Diego Luna, Genevieve O’Reilly, Stellan Skarsgård, Forest Whitaker, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, Fiona Shaw and Faye Marsay.

Toby Haynes, Susanna White and Benjamin Caron direct specific episodes, and Kathleen Kennedy, Tony Gilroy, Sanne Wohlenberg, Diego Luna and Michelle Rejwan executive produce. Tony Gilroy is also the creator and showrunner. 

With action, adventure and suspense filmed against a cinematic landscape, the first three episodes of season one premiere exclusively on Disney+ on September 21.
