Adria Arjona is currently turning heads as the leading woman in Netflix’s Hit Man starring Glen Powell, but some can forget that she plays the supporting role of Bix in the critically-acclaimed Star Wars series Andor.
We know that a second season is underway, and Arjona talks a bit about development. She tells The New York Times, “Season 2 of Andor is coming out hopefully next year. I think people are going to freak when they see it. It’s so much bigger, smarter — Tony [Gilroy] really outdid himself.”
We don’t know exactly what to expect with the second season of Andor yet, but we see Cassian eventually embracing the Rebellion and officially working for Luthen Rael.
With Arjona’s Bix becoming a victim of the Empire in the first season, it’s likely that she could have a larger role in the second season, one that could have her be a more prominent partner to Cassian. Then again, since we don’t see any sign of her in Rogue One, it’s likely she could end up getting killed before the war starts on Scarif.
With Star Wars being loaded with spinoffs like The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor has managed to stand-out as a property that actually has something important to say to the core themes of Star Wars. There may not be as much blasting or spectacle, but a lot can agree this is for the Star Wars fans who want some more mature storytelling in the franchise.
No release date has been set for the second season of Andor, but you can watch the completed first season now streaming on Disney+. In the meantime, you can catch Arjona in Hit Man now streaming on Netflix.
