Cast of Andor share their thoughts about S2
Showrunner Tony Gilroy, producer Sanne Wholenberg and stars Diego Luna, Genevieve O’Reilly, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, and Alan Tudyk were all present to discuss what we are about to see in Season 2 of Andor.
All of them looked incredibly happy and satisfied with the results of their work. While none of them went into much detail, they did say that it is a very emotionally charged season with many ups and downs, relationships build up and crumble, and a lot of emphasis in how intense it is overall.
If you are a fan of Andor, I highly recommend that you watch the panel. It begins at minute 11:50. The video below will take you straight to the starting point of the panel.
