- ―Diego Luna, on reprising his role
Andor is an upcoming television series currently being developed by Lucasfilm. It is set to air on Disney's online streaming service, Disney+. The series is a spy thriller starring Diego Luna, reprising his role as Cassian Andor from the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Development
Talks for a television series focused on Cassian Jeron Andor, Diego Luna's character from the 2016 Star Wars Anthology film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, began before the Anthology film was released, though Luna had doubts that it would happen.[8] In February 2018, Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed that "a few" Star Wars live-action series were in development for Disney's streaming service.[9] The series was officially announced by Iger during a Disney quarterly earnings call on November 8, 2018.[1]
A promotional banner for the series
On November 30, it was reported that The Americans executive producer Stephen Schiff was tapped to serve as showrunner while Moana writer Jared Bush was revealed to have originated the project by writing a pilot script and a series bible.[10] According to Production Weekly, the series was scheduled to begin production in October 2019.[11] On July 11, 2019, Rick Famuyiwa was reported to be in talks to direct an undisclosed amount of episodes for the series, with filming scheduled to begin on October 7.[12] On October 15, 2019, Variety reported that Rogue One co-writer Tony Gilroy would be writing the pilot for the series in addition to directing multiple episodes.[13]
On December 3, 2020,[14] Diego Luna confirmed that the series had started filming in London.[15] The title of Andor, as well as behind the scenes footage of the filming of the series, were unveiled on December 10, 2020. Filming began in late November of 2020.[2][16]
