Variety has revealed that Disney+ has submitted Andor Season 2 for Emmy consideration in 23 categories, including Outstanding Drama Series, Directing, Writing and Guest Actors/Actress for Benjamin Bratt, Ben Mendelsohn, Forest Whitaker & Varada Sethu.
Screenwriter Dan Gilroy, best known for penning the thriller “Nightcrawler,” has chosen episode 209, “Welcome to the Rebellion,” for his drama writing bid, which will pit him against the scribes Mike White (“The White Lotus”) and Noah Wyle (“The Pitt”). At the same time, helmer Janus Metz will compete in the drama directing category for episode 208, “Who Are You?” facing off against the likes of Mark Mylod (“The Last of Us”) and Ben Stiller (“Severance”).
Star Diego Luna, who also serves as an executive producer, is again submitted for lead drama actor for his portrayal of Cassian Andor. While not nominated for the show’s first season, Luna’s performance this time brings more internal conflict and character evolution — an arc Disney+ hopes will resonate with voters. Luna will also be up for supporting actor (limited series) consideration for his role as boxing coach Andy Lujan in Hulu’s miniseries “La Máquina.”
The supporting actor category features possible bids from Stellan Skarsgård and Kyle Soller, while the supporting actress category includes a packed roster: Denise Gough, Adria Arjona, Faye Marsay, Elizabeth Dulau, and fan favorite Genevieve O’Reilly, who in particular, was highlighted for her turn of Mon Mothma, a senator torn between personal sacrifice and political revolution.
In the guest actor category, Disney+ is banking on the performances from Ben Mendelsohn, who reprises his role as Orson Krennic in episode 211, “Who Else Knows?”; Forest Whitaker, returning as Saw Gerrera in episode 205, “I Have Friends Everywhere”; and newcomer Benjamin Bratt, appearing in episode 209. Varada Sethu is the sole submission in the guest actress category for her performance in episode 206, “What a Festive Evening.”
Following the series’ strong Emmy debut, earning eight Emmy noms in 2023, including drama series, directing for Benjamin Caron, and a writing nod for creator Tony Gilroy. Disney+ aims to expand its tally this year, and with “Andor” standing as the most critically acclaimed series in the “Star Wars” portfolio. In its final season, the show deepens its emotional stakes, culminating in the events leading directly to “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.”
