'Andor' Takes Center Stage As Disney+ Announces Upcoming Lineup of Shows For Next Year

Disney+ has published a preview of what TV shows they have in store in the coming year and fans couldn't be more excited.

The teaser that took center stage and stole the show was that of the second season of critically acclaimed Star Wars universe series 'Andor.' Introduced in the film 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,' the series follows the story of Cassian Andor, played by Mexican actor Diego Luna, as he goes from thief to joining the Rebel Alliance against the evil Empire.

The series had fans and critics raving when it premiered in September 2022, with many proclaiming it one of the best 'Star Wars' projects ever made. With a small writer's room headed by screenwriting veteran and 'Rogue One' scribe Tony Gilroy, the series won a Peabody Award for its writing last year and was nominated for 'Outstanding Drama Series' at the Emmys.

The second season of 'Andor: A Star Wars Story' will premiere in April 2025.

Alongside 'Andor' is the long-awaited return of superhero Daredevil to the silver screen with 'Daredevil: Born Again.' For three seasons on Netflix, 'Daredevil' was similarly acclaimed. AFans were heartbroken and unsure about whether the story would continue with Charlie Cox in the title role after its cancellation.

However, after the character's grand, but brief return to the role in 'Spider-Man: No Way Home,' and appearances in the series 'She-Hulk: Attorney at Law' and 'Echo' (with Cox reprising the role), the announcement of a series that would continue the story from where Netflix left off, had fans anticipating seeing the story of Matt Murdock/Daredevil continue jumping with joy. Premiering in March, 'Born Again,' features Vincent D'Onofrio as the villainous Wilson Fisk/Kingpin and Jon Bernthal as the infamous anti-hero Frank Castle/The Punisher.

Also shown was more footage of the Marvel series, 'Ironheart.' The series will follow genius inventor Riri Williams (played by Dominique Thorne), introduced in 2022's 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,' as she goes on her own superhero journey coming across the magical thief Parker Robbins/The Hood (played by Anthony Ramos) and has to stop him at all costs.

Other shows coming soon to Disney+ that were shown were the second season of 'Percy Jackson & The Olympians,' and the new 'Star Wars' series, 'Skeleton Crew,'

Disney also opted to show teasers of series coming to Disney+'s sister platform, Hulu, where viewers can watch more adult content, though its content is also accessible through the Disney+ app as well.

Some of the projects shown were the final season of 'The Handmaid's Tale,' the fourth season of FX/Hulu's hit series, 'The Bear,' and the upcoming football miniseries 'Chad Powers,' starring Glen Powell, and a new series set in the 'Alien' franchise called 'Alien: Earth.'
