With new episodes dropping every Tuesday, fans will have to stay tuned to see how this timely series unfolds.

As the show continues to gain momentum, Disney+ is positioning “Andor” as a flagship title that not only entertains but also sparks meaningful conversations about power, rebellion, and social justice.
