The Andor Season 2 trailer should've been here by now, at least, that's what many Star Wars fans firmly believe.
While scrolling through social media these last few days, especially around the time of the Super Bowl, you'll find Star Wars fans bewildered by the delay behind the highly anticipated final season's trailer. The comments show a certain level of anxiety, but very few fans are ready to say the quiet part out loud. The truth is Andor Season 2 completed filming months ago. Season 2 costs nearly $292 million, so Lucasfilm has undoubtedly pulled out all the stops to ensure the show ends in the most memorable way possible. The question is, what's causing the delay?
Disney has already shown footage from Andor Season 2 at various events, including D23 and Star Wars Celebration 2023. The grainy footage circulated online, and Disney has even included seconds-long clips from Season 2 in its various 2025 promotional videos. However, with February nearly over and the show's premiere set for April 22, the official trailer should have dropped by now.
Andor Season 2 won't have an easy time in April, as it will be up against The Last of Us Season 2, which stars Pedro Pascal. This might be one of the reasons why Lucasfilm has yet to release a trailer. Maybe they're rethinking whether April 22 is the right time to release a show that costs nearly 300 million. With so much goodwill, praise from fans and critics, and money invested into Season 2, it would be a shame if the series doesn't get better views than its first installment. Building on the widespread acclaim of Season 1, Andor Season 2 is expected to surpass its predecessor's success while outperforming the latest Star Wars live-action series, The Acolyte and Skeleton Crew.
Although the exact reason for the delay isn't known yet, Andor Season 2's trailer desperately needs to hit the right notes, which might be why it's been delayed. Disney faces a dilemma: should the Andor Season 2 trailer cater to fans of the first season's political drama or appeal to the broader Star Wars fanbase? With Season 2 exploring the Rebel Alliance's formative years, the tone may shift closer to Star Wars Rebels. The challenge is to balance Rebellion-era nostalgia with the gritty realism that defined Season 1.
The Andor Season 2 trailer is particularly crucial given the lengthy wait and significant investment in the series. I hope the trailer successfully targets the broader Star Wars fanbase and taps into original trilogy nostalgia. While some fans didn't enjoy Season 1's style, Season 2's narrative ties to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story present an opportunity to draw in fans from every era, making the trailer's impact all the more critical.
Andor: A Star Wars Story premieres April 22 on Disney+.
