Disney+ has unveiled an exciting first glance at the highly awaited second season of Andor. A peek into the new trailer, featured below, exposes fresh snippets from the Star Wars series nominated for an Emmy.

The forthcoming season will conclude the narrative and set the stage for the events in the 2016 film Rogue One.

The formally provided details of the upcoming season read: “As the war approaches, the second season will lead the characters and their relationships into a new level of intensity. Cassian begins to play a central role in the Rebel Alliance. Challenges will be faced by all, betrayals and sacrifices will occur and conflicting objectives will reach new heights as the stakes become higher.”

The trailer showcases the reappearance of actor Ben Mendelsohn in the role of Director Orson Callan Krennic from Rogue One along with audience-favorite Rogue One droid K-2SO, which is brought to life by the voice of Alan Tudyk.

The concluding season will consist of 12 parts divided into four segments, each having three episodes. The initial segment will make its debut on April 22, with the rest being introduced each week after.

Tony Gilroy, the creator of the show, expressed “The sheer scale of the storyline and the myriad of characters we have the opportunity to introduce is one of the major thrills of creating Andor. They are real individuals, from the everyday folks, to tyrannical Imperial rulers and fervent revolutionists, taking epic steps and facing foreboding questions. While Cassian’s journey is at the core of our narrative, it’s the rich variety of other characters that truly shapes the series. I cannot wait for viewers to see the direction we take in season two.”

The cast for the second season of Andor includes Luna, Stellan Skarsgård, Genevieve O’Reilly, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Faye Marsay, Varada Sethu, Elizabeth Dulau, and Tudyk, coupled with Mendelsohn and Forest Whitaker.
