Five years before his high-risk mission alongside Jyn Erso, the famous intrepid hero is already seeking to make a difference when the rebellion is still in its infancy, in troubled times filled with danger, betrayal and of intrigue. The star of the series is surrounded by Stellan Skarsgård, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller and Fiona Shaw. Genevieve O’Reilly and Forest Whitaker will return as Mon Mothma and Saw Gerrera.
Composed of 12 episodes, the 1st season of Andor will be offered on a weekly basis.
