How to Watch Andor in 4K: The Complete Guide

Andor is a spy thriller drama series set in the Star Wars universe, and it is widely regarded as the most mature, politically complex entry the franchise has ever produced. If you have been looking for a Star Wars story that trades lightsaber battles for cold-war espionage, morally ambiguous characters, and slow-burn tension, this is the show. Below you will find everything you need to know — the premise, the cast, the episode count, and exactly how to stream it in 4K.

What is Andor?

Andor — full title Star Wars: Andor — is a Disney+ exclusive spy thriller drama series that serves as a prequel to the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The series began airing on September 21, 2022, when Disney+ dropped the first three episodes simultaneously. Season 1 ran for twelve episodes and concluded on November 23, 2022.

Season 2 premiered on April 22, 2025, again with three episodes released at a time over four consecutive weeks, bringing the total to another twelve episodes. Season 2 is confirmed as the final season of the show, making Andor a complete 24-episode story from beginning to end.

What sets Andor apart from virtually every other Star Wars property is its tone. There are no Jedi, no Force powers, and no mystical destiny guiding the protagonist. Instead, the show focuses on the grinding, dangerous, morally complicated work of building a rebellion against an authoritarian empire — the intelligence operations, the sacrifices, the compromises, and the human cost of resistance.

Who created Andor?

Andor was created by Tony Gilroy, who also served as executive producer and wrote the first three episodes of Season 2. Gilroy is known for his work on the Jason Bourne film series and the screenplay for Michael Clayton, so he brought a genuine thriller sensibility to the Star Wars universe that immediately distinguished the show from its predecessors.

For Season 2, the writing duties were divided across four creative teams to mirror the show's structure of releasing three episodes at a time. Tony Gilroy handled episodes 1 through 3, Beau Willimon wrote episodes 4 through 6, Dan Gilroy was responsible for episodes 7 through 9, and Tom Bissell wrote the final three episodes, 10 through 12.

Who stars in Andor?

The cast of Andor is one of its greatest strengths. Diego Luna leads the series as Cassian Andor, the character he first played in Rogue One. His performance anchors the entire show, tracing the transformation of a man who starts out looking after himself and gradually becomes someone willing to sacrifice everything for a cause.

Stellan Skarsgård plays Luthen Rael, a key figure in the early Rebel Alliance who operates in the shadows and serves as one of the most compelling characters in the series. Genevieve O'Reilly portrays Mon Mothma, the senator who becomes a crucial figure in the Rebellion — a role she also played briefly in Rogue One. Adria Arjona appears as Bix Caleen, Denise Gough and Kyle Soller round out the core cast, and Alan Tudyk joins in Season 2 as the droid K-2SO, the fan-favourite character he voiced in Rogue One. Forest Whitaker also returns in Season 2, reprising his role from Rogue One.

The show won a 2025 Emmy Award, a recognition that speaks to the caliber of the performances and the overall quality of the production.

What is Andor about?

The story of Andor begins approximately five years before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Cassian Andor is introduced not as a hero but as a cynical, self-interested survivor trying to track down his lost sister on a planet under Imperial control. A chance encounter with early rebel operatives sets him on a path he does not initially choose.

As the series progresses, Cassian witnesses firsthand the suffocating reach of the Galactic Empire — the surveillance, the arbitrary cruelty, the bureaucracy of oppression — and he begins to understand why a rebellion is necessary. His arc across both seasons is essentially the story of how a man becomes radicalized against injustice: not through a grand awakening but through accumulated experience, loss, and the influence of people around him who are already committed to the fight.

Season 2 continues and concludes that journey, directly connecting to the events of Rogue One. By the time the final episode ends, viewers understand exactly who Cassian Andor is when audiences first meet him in that 2016 film.

The political and institutional dimension of the show is equally compelling. Mon Mothma's storyline follows the impossible position of a senator who believes in democratic institutions while those institutions are being dismantled around her. Luthen Rael operates as a spymaster who must make ruthless decisions about who lives and who is sacrificed for the greater mission. The show never makes these dilemmas easy or comfortable.

How to watch Andor in 4K

Andor is available exclusively on Disney+ — but Disney+ is not available in every country, and not everyone wants to maintain multiple streaming subscriptions just to access a single show. InfinityTV gives you a simpler path: one subscription that puts Andor alongside 150,000+ movies and series and 22,000+ live TV channels, all in one place.

Here is how to watch Andor in 4K on InfinityTV:

Why does 4K matter for Andor?

Andor was shot with cinematic production values that reward a high-resolution viewing experience. The show's visual design is meticulous — dusty, industrialized planets under Imperial grey, cramped rebel safehouses, the cold grandeur of Imperial architecture. These environments were built and photographed with the same care as major theatrical films.

Watching in 4K means you see the texture and detail that the production team put into every frame. The lighting work in particular — much of Andor is deliberately underlit, with shadows doing expressive work — benefits significantly from HDR delivery, which InfinityTV's 4K streams support on compatible displays.

For a show that has been praised for its cinematic quality, watching in the best available resolution is the right way to experience it.

What to watch after Andor?

Once you finish all 24 episodes of Andor, the natural next step is Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) — the film that Andor directly leads into. If you have already seen it, rewatching it after completing Season 2 is a very different experience: characters, events, and sacrifices carry enormous additional weight.

Beyond the Star Wars universe, Andor's tone and approach have more in common with serious prestige dramas than with typical franchise television. If you enjoyed the spy-thriller elements, the morally complex characters, and the political storytelling, the following posts on the InfinityTV blog point to other high-quality series worth your time:

Frequently asked questions

Is Andor suitable for children?

Andor is aimed at an adult audience. While it does not carry an explicit content rating, the show deals with themes of political oppression, violence, imprisonment, torture, and moral compromise. It is thoughtful and restrained rather than gratuitous, but parents should preview it before letting younger viewers watch. It is best suited to teenagers and adults who can engage with its political and ethical complexity.

Do I need to have seen Rogue One before watching Andor?

You do not strictly need to have seen Rogue One before starting Andor — the series is written to be accessible and introduces all of its characters from the ground up. That said, knowing the broad outline of Rogue One does add an extra layer of meaning to certain moments, particularly in Season 2. Many viewers choose to watch Andor first, then follow it with Rogue One, which works very well as a viewing order.

How many episodes does Andor have in total?

Andor has 24 episodes across two seasons — twelve in Season 1 (September to November 2022) and twelve in Season 2 (April to May 2025). Season 2 is the final season, so the complete story is told across those 24 episodes. There is no Season 3.

What makes Andor different from other Star Wars shows?

The main distinction is tone and creative approach. Creator Tony Gilroy brought a spy-thriller and political drama sensibility to Andor that the franchise had not seen before. The show focuses on ordinary people rather than legendary figures, on the grinding reality of resistance rather than heroic action sequences, and on the institutional mechanics of both the Empire and the early Rebellion. It has more in common with prestige dramas like The Americans or Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy than with traditional Star Wars fare. The 2025 Emmy Award it won is a testament to how seriously the industry recognized this achievement.

Where can I find more information about Andor?

The show has a comprehensive entry on IMDb — Andor (TV Series 2022–2025) with full cast information, episode guides, and user reviews.
