The finale for Star Wars: Andor is almost here, and several networks are looking to help celebrate the success of the critically acclaimed Disney+ series. This Thanksgiving holiday, the first two episodes of Andor will come to ABC, FX, Freeform, and Hulu.
Star Wars: Andor episodes “Kassa” and “That Would Be Me” will be made available on the following schedule over the Thanksgiving holiday, with Hulu offering an extended streaming window:
ABC: Wednesday, November 23, 9-10:30 pm ET/PT
FX: Thursday, November 24, 9-10:30 pm ET/PT
Freeform: Friday, November 25, 9-10:30 pm ET/PT
Hulu: Available from November 23 through December 7
The Star Wars: Andor series – set five years before the events of Rogue One – focuses on Cassian Andor and his journey toward becoming a rebel hero. The tale is set against the backdrop of a burgeoning rebellion against a ruthless Empire, where people and planets are drawn into a conflict that will have far-reaching effects across the galaxy. It’s an era filled with danger, deception, and intrigue, and one that will test the courage and resolve of a reluctant hero determined to make a difference.
Diego Luna returns as Cassian Andor and is joined by cast members Genevieve O’Reilly, Stellan Skarsgård, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, Fiona Shaw, Forest Whitaker, and Andy Serkis. The executive producers are Kathleen Kennedy, Tony Gilroy, Sanne Wohlenberg, Diego Luna, and Michelle Rejwan. Tony Gilroy is also the creator and showrunner.
Bringing Star Wars: Andor to ABC, FX, Freeform, and Hulu is an excellent opportunity for Star Wars fans to taste Cassian’s war against the Empire and see what they’ve been missing by not subscribing to Disney+. Disney should have previewed the first three episodes to give potential fans a better view of the series, but I’m not in charge of these things.
Are you excited about Andor coming to multiple platforms? This plan may be your chance to introduce the show to a friend. Either way, this is excellent exposure for the series and will likely result in more subscriptions for Disney+.
