‘Andor’ Season 1 Launches on Hulu & YouTube Ahead of Season 2

Star Wars has released episodes from the first season of Andor outside of Disney+ for the first time ever to help promote the upcoming Season 2!

Key takeaways:

• The entirety of Andor Season 1 is currently available on Hulu - even to those without the Disney+ bundle

• The first 3 episodes of the season are also available for free on the Disney+ YouTube channel

• The official Star Wars YouTube channel has also posted a 14 minute recap of Season 1

The big picture:

• By bringing Andor to multiple platforms, Disney is actively attempting to court a larger audience for Season 2

• Between these moves and enhancing the importance of critical reviews in Season 2’s trailer, Disney is clearly sending a message that Andor is worth watching for all viewers - even outside of Star Wars

• Expanding Andor beyond the scope of traditional Star Wars fans could help ratings significantly after Season 1’s numbers fell quite a bit below expectation

For years, Star Wars has been under fire for its lack of publicity regarding major projects, but this all-out push for Andor may be a sign that the times are finally changing.

Andor Season 2 begins on April 22nd only on Disney+!
