Alan Tudyk, who played the droid K-2SO in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, has said that he won’t be appearing in the Andor Disney Plus spinoff series – at least not yet. The TV show, which is a prequel to Rogue One, will star Diego Luna as the titular Rebel Cassian Andor.
“They're shooting it right now, I'm not in it. But, if it stays on the air, stories keep getting told, I'll end up in there,” Tudyk told Collider.
He clarified that he would be in the series eventually, just not in the first instalment: “I'm going to be in the show. It's just that the story that Tony [Gilroy, series creator and Rogue One co-writer] is telling doesn't involve K-2SO until later on... I can't be too specific, but I can definitely say that I'm not going to be in the first season.”
It’s also interesting to discover Andor will apparently have multiple seasons. Luna has remained tight-lipped on what to expect from the series, but has said that the show will delve deeper into his character: “Once you know what Cassian is capable of, then there’s room for so much exploration, and that’s something that excites me a lot as an actor. I think the format of a series is amazing because we have a lot of time to explore all those layers.” Luna told THR. More than one season will hopefully allow us to find out a lot more about Cassian, then.
There isn’t yet a firm release date for Andor. The next Star Wars show to arrive to Disney Plus will be The Book of Boba Fett, with The Mandalorian season 3 following sometime afterwards.
