Production and Casting
Before the 2016 Star Wars Anthology film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was released, discussions for a television series centered on Cassian Jeron Andor, played by Diego Luna, began, despite Luna’s skepticism that it would materialize. For Disney’s streaming service, “a couple” live-action Star Wars programs were in the works, according to Disney CEO Bob Iger in February 2018. On November 8, 2018, Iger made the series’ formal announcement during a Disney quarterly earnings conference.
On November 30, it was stated that Moana writer Jared Bush had created the project by penning a pilot screenplay and a series bible, while The Americans executive producer Stephen Schiff had been chosen to serve as showrunner. Production on the series was supposed to start in October 2019, according to Production Weekly. On July 11, 2019, it was stated that Rick Famuyiwa was in negotiations to helm an unspecified number of the show’s episodes, with production set to start on October 7. Tony Gilroy, who also co-wrote Rogue One, was revealed by Variety to be scripting the series pilot and helming many episodes on October 15, 2019.
Filming of Andor
In 2020, the original series logo was unveiled. Diego Luna announced the start of the series’ London filming on December 3, 2020.
