Disney Plus is altering the release strategy for Andor's second season, launching in April with 12 episodes divided into four weekly chapters. Creator Tony Gilroy highlights the larger scale of the story, which builds on Cassian's journey leading up to Rogue One. The preview trailer suggests heightened stakes for characters. While the first season benefited from a traditional weekly format, the new approach could evoke a fresh experience for audiences.
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.
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.
The trailer definitely makes Andor's second season seem like its stakes are going to be raised to meet its scale as Cassian marches towards a fate we've already seen play out.
The weekly episode format was part of what made the first season work so well, but these new batch drops might be a refreshing change of pace.
