It’s been nearly two and a half years since Andor premiered, but the wait for season two is almost over. This afternoon, Disney+ shared the first teaser for the new season, and though the streamer is still keeping its cards pretty close to its chest about plot specifics, we do get a sense of the scale of Andor’s return—specifically, there is some kind of space gala while Steve Earle plays over the footage, which is pretty neat.
“We’re in a war,” Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor says at the top of the clip. “You wanna fight, or you wanna win?” Obviously you want to win, but if the trailer is any indication, there’s going to be some fighting before we get there.
“One of the great thrills of making ‘Andor’ is the scale of the story and the number of characters we’re able to meet — ordinary people, Imperial overlords, passionate revolutionaries,” series creator Tony Gilroy says in a statement. “They are real people making epic decisions, all of them staring down questions with terrifying consequences. Cassian’s journey is the soul and spine of our story, but it’s the choir that makes the show. I’m so excited for audiences to see where we go in Season 2.”
Season two is using a bit of a different release strategy than the first did. Per a press release, the season is 12 episodes, consisting of four chapters of three episodes each. The first chapter will be released on April 22, with subsequent chapters debuting each week after that. Maybe the revolution teased here was really about the battle between binge drops and weekly releases after all.
