Andor's Tony Gilroy Reveals Which Season 2 Plotline He Had To Really Sell To Make Happen

Editor's Note: The following interview contains spoilers for Andor Season 2, Episodes 1-6.

Andor Season 2 officially reached the halfway point this week with the second batch of heartbreaking episodes. With Episode 4, the series also officially introduced Ghorman to audiences, following last week's impressive exploration of life on Chandrila and Mina-Rau. From the start, the critically acclaimed series has been steadfast in its portrayal of fully fleshed-out worlds, cultures, and people — but Season 2 takes things to a new level with its dedication to worldbuilding.

Ahead of the Season 2 premiere — and before the cast made their way around the world for Star Wars Celebration Japan — I had the chance to chat with Tony Gilroy and Genevieve O'Reilly about the series. During our short, but suprisingly deep conversations, they discussed the process of designing worlds like Chandrila, Ghorman, and Mina-Rau, the thrill of playing God when constructing the cultures of each planet, and why Benjamin Bratt was brought in to replace Jimmy Smits as Bail Organa. You can read the full transcript below or watch the interview in the player above.
