Exclusive: Andor's Tony Gilroy and Beau Willimon coming to ATX TV Fest for post-series panel

The show itself will address all this, hopefully, when it returns on April 22 (dropping three episodes a week until its 12-episode season concludes.) But The A.V. Club can share that Andor series creator Tony Gilroy and writer Beau Willimon will hold an in-depth panel at Austin’s ATX TV Festival, timed to the direct aftermath of the season finale (thereby avoiding pesky spoilers). Per the announcement, Gilroy and Willimon will “join the festival for a discussion about constructing the complex world of Andor, exploring new and darker corners of the Star Wars storytelling universe, and bringing Cassian’s story full circle.”

Gilroy, Willimon, and Andor join what was already a pretty packed roster of ATX talent; other big panels at the festival (which runs this year from May 29 through June 1) include a reunion for The Leftovers, a Mad Men retrospective with Jon Hamm, and a conversation with “Bill Lawrence And Friends,” which, considering how many TV shows Lawrence has his hands on these days, could probably fill a whole auditorium all by itself. There’s also an inside look at Late Night With Seth Meyers with the host himself as part of the Opening Night Marquee panel, Carrie Preston talking about Elsbeth, the stars of FOX’s Animal Control (including Joel McHale), a screening of Mark Duplass’ new indie show, and an Acorn TV panel about their programming. You can find more info about programming and badges/passes at the ATX website.

Andor‘s second season debuts on Disney+ on April 22.
