When does Andor air? All episode dates are now released

The series premiere will be a jam-packed night on September 21 with the first three episodes, or the entire first fourth of the first season, dropping at once on Disney+. With plenty to hook viewers in one fell swoop, the remaining nine episodes will release with a typical one-episode per week schedule.
The first season has a total of 12 episodes, leaving the midpoint of the season on October 12 and the first season finale arriving on Disney+ on November 23 in time for Thanksgiving.
Andor is getting a larger order than previous live-action Star Wars series. The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Obi-Wan Kenobi all had eight episodes or less per season.
It’s also been announced that Andor will have 24 episodes divided into two seasons. The series will have a lot of ground to cover, and it also has a specific and tight timeframe as another prequel series in the Star Wars canon.
Both seasons will cover the five years before Rogue One and A New Hope, with the first season spanning five years and the second season covering the remaining time up to the beginning of Rogue One.
The series’ structure has been a large part of its mystery and appeal thus far. It’s safe to say Andor will be unlike any Star Wars series yet.
