According to the publication, work on the second season began in early 2024. However, Lucasfilm later slowed down its live-action Star Wars projects. In the last 18 months, only 'Skeleton Crew' and the second and final season of 'Andor' have released as live-action Star Wars shows.

The first season also featured actors Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Ivanna Sakhno, Diana Lee Inosanto, Eman Esfandi, Evan Whitten, Genevieve O'Reilly, and Lars Mikkelsen.

The series is executive produced by Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, Carrie Beck, and Colin Wilson.
