Tony Gilroy Reveals Shocking Release Strategy for Andor Season 2 on Disney+

Among the eagerly awaited Star Wars shows slated for release, it’s “Andor” Season 2 that is due back this spring. This much-anticipated sequel is just weeks away and will pick up where we left off with the character Cassian Andor, a thief turned rebel fighter from Rogue One, continuing his storyline. Tony Gilroy, who’s at the helm again for the series, recently shared some insights on the unique approach to releasing the science fiction show on Disney+ as part of their 2025 TV lineup. As a journalist, I can relate to the excitement surrounding this highly anticipated return.

How Andor Is Season 2 Being Released And What Did Tony Gilroy Have To Say About It?

In the debut season of the Rogue One spinoff series on Disney+, new episodes usually premiered weekly, with the first three episodes coming out simultaneously. For Season 2, there will be another 12 episodes, divided into four chapters, each containing three episodes. Here’s a breakdown of the release schedule:

[Insert breakdown schedule here]

  • Episodes 1, 2 and 3 – April 22
  • Episodes 4, 5 and 6 – April 29
  • Episodes 7, 8 and 9 – May 6
  • Episodes 10, 11 and 12 – May 13

Regarding original content, Disney+ has tried out various release strategies. Some shows are released weekly, while others have been made available all at once on the platform. Additionally, there have been instances where multiple episodes are rolled out over time. However, when discussing the show Andor with Collider, director Tony Gilroy could only provide insights about its specific release schedule, and he shared that this decision was communicated to him.

After wrapping up the show in November, we had to patiently wait for Skeleton Crew. The decision to release it is Disney’s, and there seems to be an internal reasoning behind it that only they understand. It’s intriguing, as it poses a challenge for podcasters, who are accustomed to delivering a movie a week.

It’s no great shock that the decision ultimately came from the higher-ups at Disney, as they have consistently shown smart strategies in managing their content distribution. More specifically, the remarks made by the Bourne writer caught my attention due to his insights on how this move affects media commentators.

Why I Relate To What Tony Gilroy Says About That “Burden”?

As a journalist and an enthusiast of “Star Wars,” I’m looking forward to reporting on this upcoming show in one way or another. While I don’t produce podcasts, I can appreciate the difficulties that come with covering a series when its release pattern isn’t traditional. The idea of releasing three episodes each week is quite intimidating. Given the schedule, it seems likely that many other journalists will be busy writing weekly recap articles to keep up with the show.

It’s understandable if some might think these issues are luxurious or minor in comparison (like champagne problems), but let me clarify that they’re genuine worries for journalists. What I’m curious about is the specific reason behind Disney adopting this release strategy for Andor Season 2. Despite our curiosity, we’ll simply have to adapt and follow along with the plan.

No matter how I plan to watch it, I’m thrilled about the upcoming Season 2 of Andor. The trailer for Andor Season 2 has only increased my anticipation even more. We’ll discover what’s in store for Cassian Andor when the season debuts on Disney+ (one of the top streaming platforms) on April 22.
