Adria Arjona can’t reveal much aboutAndor season 2– but she’s done a good job of raising our expectations for the next installment of the Star Wars show, regardless.
“I’m so scared to talk about Andor,” Arjona said, laughing, in a new interview withHarper’s Bazaar. “But all I can say is that this second season is just so much bigger and smarter – and it even surprised me.”
Arjona plays mechanic Bix Caleen in theDisneyPlus series, alongside Diego Luna’s titular rebel spy Cassian Andor. A prequel to the 2016 movieRogue One, the series is set five years earlier during the formation of the Rebel Alliance against the Galactic Empire. The show’s cast also includes Fiona Shaw, Kyle Soller, Stellan Skarsgård, and Genevieve O’Reilly.
Andor season 1was a critical hit when it hitDisney Plusin 2022 and the second season finally wrapped filming earlier this year after delays due to theWGA writers' strikeand theSAG-AFTRA actors' strike. Series creatorTony Gilroy recently said that it was the most “important” work he’s ever done.
As for Arjona, her most recent project isHit Man, an action rom-com co-starring Glen Powell and directed by Richard Linklater, which is currently in theaters before hitting Netflix on June 7. She can also be seen in Blink Twice, Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut that releases this August, alongside Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie, and Christian Slater.
