Looks like Cassian Andor will not be returning anytime soon as Season 2 for the Star Wars show "Andor" seems to be delayed until 2025.
A press release from the Disney+ UK unveiled the streaming giant's lineup for next year. "Andor" was not included in the list.
For Star Wars, only the mystery-thriller "Star Wars: Acolyte" and adventure series "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" are set to premiere in 2024. There is even no third season for "The Mandalorian" listed.

Reason for Delayed Season 2
Like other ongoing high-budget series this year, the second season for "Andor" was suspended mid-production following the actors' and writers' strike, a source told Gizmodo.
The Writers Guild of America held the strike for over four months, from May 2 to Sept. 27. Hollywood actors soon followed and held their strike from July 14 to Nov. 9.
Many of the writers and actors who went on strike were from Disney. Among those who supported the strike was Cassian Andor actor himself, Diego Luna.
Tony Gilroy, the creator and writer for "Andor," also joined the picket lines. Gilroy earlier in May said he stopped all non-writing production duties amid the strike.
Productions for the series only recently resumed last month with the actors' guild and Hollywood finally reaching an agreement for better wages and AI regulation.
