After the first three episodes drop on Wednesday September 21st, the series will debut a brand new episode every week all the way until November 23rd – a day before Thanksgiving in America. That means that the finale will make for quite a good table topic at this year’s annual feast.

Andor follows the adventures of Rebel spy Cassian Andor during the formative years of the Rebellion and prior to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
