I really hope that K-2SO will be handled properly in season 2. He’s in the unfortunate position of being a comic-relief character in a show which isn’t supposed to have comic relief. I worry that they’ll have to add in humor to make him fit in (or elsewise his portrayal will be inaccurate to Rogue One to accommodate the difference in tone.) Ideally, his quotes should come across as blunt/edgy, as opposed to comedic. It’s a minor thing, but the addition of comic relief would really change the feel of show, and not for the better.

You make an excellent point.
Here’s my idea on how to work this, he’s a reprogrammed Imperial droid.
A facet of the reprogramming could be that is not reliable initially or the best done job and Cassian is, for a while, tweaking his work.
K2 feels comfortable around Cassian however around others he masks to try to hide any deficiencies in the reprogramming that may stand out to someone who knows how a K2 droid should behave.
His snark/comedy stuff could be played as a facet of how he interacts with others based on how much he feels he can let his guard down around them or even try to maintain some kind of upper hand.
