Star Wars' Andor Show Release Date Delayed By 1 Month
Disney reveals Andor's release date has been delayed by one month, as the new Star Wars show moves to September.

The release of the second Andor trailer should only continue to ramp up anticipation, even though audiences now have to wait longer to see Diego Luna's Star Wars show.
