Andor’s second and final season looks quite different from creator Tony Gilroy’s original plan for the show.
However, it quickly became obvious that such an ambitious approach wouldn’t work.
We really didn’t know."
We couldn’t physically do it.
It would take too long.
So it was born of necessity."
And after that process, Gilroy is pleased his original plans changed.
“No, I wouldn’t want to do the five seasons,” he confirms.
Andor season 2is instead structured across four time periods, each taking place across three episodes.
“But then the question became, could you make those jumps without having lots of exposition?”
“It got really fun for the writers and for everybody,” he smiles.
“What had been a problem for us became something very, very exciting.
And I don’t know if anyone’s ever had a chance to do it before.
It was energizing.”
I mean, as an actor, you always jump a lot, it makes sense.
