It’s no secret that the second season of Andor will lead directly into the Rogue One. Up until now, however, it was unclear if there would be any more familiar faces appearing (besides K-2) to help close the gap between both entries.
According to The Playlist, fans should expect Ben Mendelsohn to return in some capacity as the villainous Orson Krennic. The outlet points out that he’ll most likely appear towards the end of the season/series though.
This is good news considering that earlier this year the actor told the outlet that he did not believe he would be making an appearance in the show.

Earlier this year, 12-episode second season completed filming.
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. Diego Luna will reprise the role of Andor, which he originated in the 2016 film. 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.
Also reprising their roles are Jimmy Smits as Bail Organa, Alistair Petrie as General Draven, and Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma, with newcomers Stellan Skarsgard (Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End), Denise Gough (The Kid Who Would Be King), Adria Arjona (Pacific Rim: Uprising), Kyle Soller (Anna Karenia), and Robert Emms (Chernobyl) all in unknown roles.
Tony Gilroy, Dan Gilroy, Tony Bissell and Beau Willimon contributed the scripts, while Ariel Kleiman, Janus Metz, and Alonso Ruizpalacios shared directing duties.
The second season of Andor is expected to debut on Disney+ sometime in 2025. Expect a first look during Disney’s D23 Expo, this Summer.
