'Andor' Season 2 Starts Filming Today and Shoots Till Ne

Filming begins today on the highly-anticipated second season of ‘Andor.’

Earlier this month, we completely revealed that Tony Gilroy’s severely acclaimed collection Andor might start capturing Season 2 this week, and we are able to now also display simply how long the crew may be capturing the 12-episode final season. Ahead of the Season 1 finale and the primary day of filming Season 2, Collider’s own Steve Weintraub spoke with Gilroy, and he shared that Season 2 can be filming till August 2023.

Most tv collection, particularly the ones within the 12-episode area, take around nine months to film, so it makes feel that Andor could comply with a similar agenda. This, of direction, would not account for the publish-manufacturing factor of the series, in an effort to be running on the episodes as they wrap, and for the duration of the period between August and the Season 2 most appropriate date. The first season of Andor took around three years to film and wrap on put up-production, although the pandemic’s diverse filming restrictions exasperated how long the venture took. During the interview, Gilroy additionally shared while he thinks Andor can be lower back on our tv monitors, and regrettably, it isn’t almost as quickly as we need. Referencing the agenda for the first season, Gilroy explained, “If past is predicate, and we do the identical component we did earlier than, it’ll be on the equal time table. It will come out two years later.” He went on to say:

The only place you can accelerate the processes is in post, and the only way you can accelerate in post is with money, and money is tight. So, I don’t really know, there would have to be some serious motivation next May or June or something. Someone would have to say, “Wow, we really need this, and we’re willing to pay X.” Rogue One proved, if you throw money at it, you can do post really, really fast. It’s just very, very, very expensive.

It sounds like Cassian Andor’s collision route with the tragedy of Rogue One may not play out on our displays till 2024 on the earliest. Hopefully, Star Wars Celebration will offer something to tide fans over next Spring, when the yearly event is held in London—that is easily near where Andor films.

Looking Ahead at Andor Season 2

While the Season 1 finale will decide which characters fanatics could be reunited with in Season 2, it is secure to say that Diego Luna, Genevieve O’Reilly, and Duncan Pow will go back, as they all make it to Rogue One. Stellan Skarsgård will probable go back, as he turned into the first to reveal that the series might return for a second season. The fates of Adria Arjona, Kyle Soller, Denise Gough, Elizabeth Dulau, Faye Marsay, and Varada Sethu aren’t yet acknowledged, though with any luck their memories will get a hazard to similarly evolve in Season 2. Gilroy also previously confirmed to Collider that Ariel Kleiman, Janus Metz, and Alonso Ruizpalacios could be joining the collection to direct blocks of episodes for the very last season, along with his brother Dan Gilroy and Beau Willimon returning to jot down alongside newcomer Tom Bissell.
