Andor is getting a physical media release!
‘Andor’ Gets Gorgeous 4K and Blu-Ray Collector’s Edition Steelbook Release - at Collider
The critically acclaimed ‘Star Wars’ series comes home with new art and special features in April.
'Disney is once again giving collectors a chance to bring home some of their most beloved Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm television shows from the past few years in 4K and Blu-ray releases. Ahead of its second season’s debut in 2025, Andor will be one of the four receiving a new collector’s edition Steelbook featuring all episodes of Season 1 in one sleek package. Starting on March 12, the three-disc release, featuring case artwork with the rugged and rebellious Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) done by Attila Szarka and collectible concept art cards showing off the vistas of the acclaimed Star Wars series, will be available to pre-order ahead of its April 30 release.
Debuting on Disney+ in September 2022, Andor was immediately hailed for taking a fresh, political thriller angle on the Star Wars universe that helped it stand out. Season 1 earned eight Emmy nominations, including for the coveted Outstanding Drama Series honor, though its highly-praised performances were surprisingly shut out. Luna, who reprised his role as the titular Andor from Rogue One, led a star-studded group that also included the returning Forest Whitaker and Genevieve O’Reilly as well as Kyle Soller, Stellan Skarsgård, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Varada Sethu, Elizabeth Dulau, Fiona Shaw, and Faye Marsay. A slew of major guest stars also made appearances, with one memorable turn coming from Andy Serkis as Kino Loy.
Across 12 episodes created by Tony Gilroy, Season 1 marked the beginning of Cassian Andor’s journey from a thief to a rebel hero of the highest order. It takes place in the five years leading up to Rogue One as the seeds of rebellion and unrest grow throughout the galaxy and Cassian searches for a way to make a difference. The series takes a wider look at the political infrastructure of the Star Wars universe, showing how planets and groups become wrapped up in the conflict with the Empire during a time when deception is commonplace and danger lurks around every corner. Season 2 recently wrapped filming and will bookend Cassian’s evolution into the driven revolutionary seen in Rogue One when the episodes air, likely bringing in a few more characters from the Gareth Edwards film along the way.’
