We recently found out that the Disney+ Cassian Andor series had commenced production in London, and Lucasfilm has now shared our first look at the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story prequel via a behind-the-scenes sizzle reel.
The video begins with shots from Rogue One, but as it progresses we get to see some concept art, creature designs, BTS clips, and more. Right at the end, we get a first look at Diego Luna as the ruthless freedom fighter and an official logo reveal.
Andor will follow the adventures of the titular Rebel spy and his droid pal K-2SO during the formative years of the Rebellion and prior to the events of Rogue One. The rousing spy thriller will "explore tales filled with espionage and daring missions to restore hope to a galaxy in the grip of a ruthless Empire."
Toby Haynes (Black Mirror) will helm Cassian Andor, stepping in to replace original director Tony Gilroy, who was reportedly forced to drop out due to COVID-19 related travel restrictions. The Americans producer Stephen Schiff will serve as showrunner on the series, which will also feature Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Genevieve O’Reilly, Stellan Skarsgard, and Kyle Soller in undisclosed roles.
Andor is set to premiere on Disney+ in 2022.
