The cast of Andor knows a thing or two about suffering for the cause, but few are more familiar than Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly) According to showrunner Tony Gilroy, few characters will go through more than the Galactic Senator in Andor’s second and final season; in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Gilroy teased a “hellacious” arc.
“I don’t think anybody has a harder road than she does,” Gilroy said. “She has to do everything that everybody else does with all the tension, fear, and anxiety and she has to do it in public. She has nowhere to hide, and this season just ramps that up to an almost unbearable point.”
