At the D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, a behind-the-scenes reel confirmed that Ben Mendelsohn will join the cast of Andor season 2, returning as the villain Orson Krennic from Rogue One. Luna said in the video that “the stakes are higher” in the new season and that “this second part will chronicle the four years of Cassian's development into the hero who made the ultimate sacrifice in Rogue One.”

Disney is keeping plot details under wraps, but those who attended the Star Wars Celebration in April 2023 got an exclusive glimpse of the action. A teaser has yet to be released, but reports from the event detail Cassian's participation in various undercover missions to get close to the Rebel heartthrob.

Other familiar faces from Season 1 will also make a return: Cassian is reunited with Vix Kalin (Adria Arjona), and Cyril Khan (Kyle Soler) is determined to further strengthen his hunt and take him down. Meanwhile, rebels Vel Sasa (Faye Marsay) and Cinta Kaz (Valada Setu) seem to be facing a dangerous situation behind enemy lines, and the tension and stakes increase as the season progresses.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly magazine, Luna offered the following details about the second season. “I think people who have seen 'Rogue One' are going to see a different film after they've seen season two, and it's all going to mean something different when they see what had to happen for K-2 to be there.” I think they're going to witness Rogue One's journey in a different way, not just for K-2, but for a lot of the other characters as well. I think it's going to be really cool.”
