It's rated quite well but I am surprised that they cancelled it after 2 seasons.

there are A LOT of people who do, mainly the SW's 'pew-pew' type fans. also the ones who say SWs cannot be SW's without Jedi in it
if you used FB I would give you a link to a group with a lot of hate in it
@Atlantis its not so much that it was 'cancelled' more that it is a known outcome,, a known timeframe-- its bookended so to speak by the start of the show on one end and ROGUE ONE on the other
the showrunner had a specific plan for the show with time jumps to allow for the 'evolution' of Cassian from what he was to Rebel master spy. Gilroy is also not interested in a long term commitment to the franchise either

some more on the "it wasn't cancelled". 2 seasons was the plan
note the date of the post and the article linked
also 2 seasons and done was stated in August 2022 -- BEFORE the show ever came out

Now they have pushed S2 to April 2025
spacing out shows so there is some SWs show on first run, for more of the year
SWs Skeleton Crew coming Dec this yr as well. Also a YTr who had the 'special access' that Disney gives to some YTrs, when they promise not to give details, has hinted that several characters from other shows may appear in Andor S2. She hinted at the crew of the Ghost from REBELS as well as a live action Omega Fett
@Gatefan1976
trailer- sort of. mixed with other shows upcoming to disney/hulu

ANDOR S2 trailer
seems they made this season, the last season (was always going to be the last as we know when the story of Andor ends), in 3 episode arcs over a 12 episode total
each 3 ep 'chapter' will be at a point in time of Andor's life and the growing Rebellion's timeline, then move forward in years
it was also filmed on real world sets as opposed to how so much of Mandalorian was filmed on those surround 'green screen' sets, giving it a different 'atmosphere'
looks like it should be good

nice fan tidbit, seems we will also get the first live action scenes of Imperial Navy Commando's as well
first seen, I believe in the Force Awakens games
going back to SOLO and ROGUE ONE the use of other Imperial forces. like the actual Army and the so called 'beach' troopers show us a better view of how the Imp military actually was- the Stormtrooper corps was one of the smallest units of the Imperial military- yet they are everywhere in the movies

How far out before Filming/production of ANDOR did they cast this guy?
Its easy to make a animated character look like a live actor; not so much the other way around. Seems as if they had this actor planned for / locked in back when they made REBELS.
They have done this several times in animation- creating the animated character to look as much as possible as the actor - having plans for later using the actor in live action

"ratings" cannot be used as a metric in the way they used to be
i have not watched any of S2 yet- why? waiting for the entire 12 eps to load
a lot of people are like that
also, there are those who do not watch unless there is some level of "follow me" buzz (not real fans)
most SW's shows have had this- more following after the fact then while it is current -- and just what is current any longer in the world of on demand streaming?
corpo's want it to be what it was- like "who in what age group watched live" but those viewing habits really don't exist any longer
related-- i did re-watch all of S1 then I watched ROGUE 1 again. though both are great, doing so demonstrates why SW's series (or maybe any series) is better then a movie
no depth in movies,, everything must be exposed and played out in the run time of around 2 hrs, while even a 6 ep series gives far more room for deeper characters, development, more action, more of everything
an ex from ROGUE 1 is when they are getting ready to attack Scariff, and Baze tells Jyn something like "Good luck sister". meaning in the same way as "brothers" fighting together, indicating a long relationship. these two have no such relationship-- they just met.
in Andor S1 by contrast, Luthen and Andor do not even have that kind of relationship, and they have been through firefights together
i would love for them to not make ANY SWs movies.. to put them all in to Series form, so many more possibilities
-------------------
according to this guy and his sources.. that 'delayed viewership' combined with 'buzz' made ANDOR S1 a big hit for DISNEY

watched all of S2 today,, 12 eps back to back
all I can say it was a great bridge from REBELS to ROGUE ONE , having many of the plot lines from that show referenced and even seeing the actual Ghorman massacre occur as well as how the rescue of Mon Mothma happened
tie ins to Rogue One (of course) and EP4
also liked how we didn't get complete closure on all characters,, all we need to know for those who survived is that they went on
my pet theory for Bix is that she later found an even quieter place for her and her baby,, a planet called Sorgan, where she changed her name to Omera (Mandalorian S1E4). Would explain how Omera is so good with a blaster

this guy brings up a great point about imperial bullies.. specifically Dedra, Krennic and Tarkin/Vader
and that specific chain of characters .. we have seen for 2 seasons Dedra conduct harsh interrogations with a results oriented focus to try and up her rank in the ISB
Then, despite her successful work for Krennic, we see him push her to break.. then two days later (timeline wise) we see Krennic broken by Tarkin then Vader
