Andor Season 2 will no longer premiere in August 2024 as Disney and Lucasfilm have not included it in their schedule for next year.
Disney's list of films and shows premiering in 2024 includes ones with specific dates and ones without, but Andor is absent from both lists. Star Wars is otherwise present with The Acolyte, Skeleton Crew, The Bad Batch Season 3, and Tales of the Jedi Season 2 all listed with the vague 2024 release window.
Andor Season 2's August 2023 premiere was announced at Star Wars Celebration in April 2023 but the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and Writers Guild of America (WGA) strikes likely pushed it back. Its team was active on the picket lines, with writer Beau Willimon even starting a "one way out" in New York City to mimic the show.
The second season of the Diego Luna starring show, which will connect the dots between season one and Star Wars: Episode 4 - A New Hope prequel Rogue One, was reportedly just weeks away from completing production before the strikes began, however. Disney hasn't shared why the show will no longer premiere in 2024.
Star Wars fans will still have plenty to dig into, of course, as the aforementioned four shows will all premiere next year despite not having specific dates. The Acolyte is a High Republic show, an era which takes place around 200 years before Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace, and will tell the story of a young Sith instead of a young Jedi.
Skeleton Crew, meanwhile, is a Jude Law-led show inspired by the Goonies in which he must travel across the galaxy while protecting a group of children. On the animated front, The Bad Batch Season 3 will end The Clone Wars spin-off show while Tales of the Jedi Season 2 will continue the biopic series which featured Ahsoka and Count Dooku in Season 1.
