Do you have a friend who you've been trying to peer pressure into watching Andor? Now you can tell them it's free! Well, the first three episodes anyway.

Shared with us via press release, Andor Season 1 episodes 1-3 are now available on Disney's YouTube page. This is a great way for people who have been curious about the show but maybe didn't want to pay for the streaming service to at least give the series a try.

That's not the only new home for Andor. Spreading its U-wings to other streaming services, the entire first season is now on Hulu. However, this is only for a limited time as the season will leave the streamer on April 22, just in time for Season 2.

It's been a minute since Andor graced our Disney+ accounts and you might have forgotten some of the details. Have no fear! Along with this announcement, Disney released a 14-minute recap of the first season to catch you up on the major players like Cassian Andor, Mon Mothma, Saw Gerrera, and Luthen Rael, which you can see below.

If you can't wait to get a scoop on Season 2, creator Tony Gilroy is holding a special event on YouTube on March 13. This re-watch event will start at 12:00 P.M. PT / 3:00 P.M. EST, and will be a one-hour broadcast, featuring special guests to speak, featuring behind-the-scenes moments, and a chance for you, Andor superfans, to ask some questions.

Andor Season 2 will arrive exclusively on April 22, and it will be the final season of the show. It's set to be released 3 episodes a week over a four week span. Each arc will cover one year, leading into the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The hype about basically getting a Star Wars movie a week has fans excited (and maybe content creators sweating). We're excited to see the show return and the way it shocks us in Season 2.
