The Cassian Andor STAR WARS Series Timeline Revealed and New Casting Update
We’ve got some new details to share with you for the upcoming new live-action Star Wars series that will focus on Cassian Andor. The Disney+ show will act as a Rogue One prequel and we have now learned from StarWars.com that the series will be set five years prior to the events of Rogue One.
Diego Luna will be reprising his role as Cassian along with Alan Tudyk as K-2SO. It’s recently been announced that he will be joined by Genevieve O’Reilly, who will reprise her role as Mon Mothma (Rogue One, Tin Can), Denise Gough (Collett, Angels in America), Kyle Soller (Anna Karenina, The Titan), and it was also previously announced that Stellan Skarsgard (Thor, Good Will Hunting) has joined the film.
The story focuses on Rebel agent Andor in the early days of the Rebellion against the Empire. The show had been described as a “spy thriller”.
Tony Gilroy, who co-wrote Rogue One, will write, direct and serve as showrunner for the series. Additional writers on the series include Dan Gilroy (Nightcrawler), Beau Willimon (House of Cards), and Stephen Schiff (The Americans).
I haven’t seen much excitement from fans regarding this series, but I do hope that it will end up a surprisingly great show.
