Andor season 2 is finally arriving on our screens, two and a half years after we last saw the rebellion hero. This time around, the events of the Star Wars prequel will be sped up as we head closer to the chronology of Rogue One. This means the new season will tackle four separate time periods as everything leads to Cassian hopping on his ship to reach the Ring of Kafrene.

As part of this unique timeline, the Disney Plus show's release schedule is also switching things up a fair amount too. In order to cover the lengthy period of history, the show will be using a unique approach of dropping three episodes at a time. This means that despite there being 12 episodes in total, the Star Wars show will actually be over pretty quickly.

To make sure you don't miss a moment of it on Disney Plus, read on for our complete guide to the Andor season 2 release schedule.

You can only watch Andor season 2 on Disney Plus. This is because it's a Disney Plus exclusive as a Star Wars show.

Some of the first season was made available for free on YouTube, but this was a one-off event to get fans to subscribe.

If you want to follow season 2 weekly, you'll need a subscription to Disney Plus.
