Andor: Genevieve O'Reilly Talks Tony Gilroy’s Vision and Mon Mothma
94With Andor arriving on Disney+ on September 21st, I recently got to speak with Genevieve O'Reilly about playing Mon Mothma in the new Star Wars series. Andor is a two-season event that starts five years before the events of Rogue One. The first season will cover a year, while the second season will cover the next four years in 3-episode blocks. Meaning episodes one through three will be year two, episodes four through six is year three, seven though nine is year four, and the final episodes will be year five and the plan is to end episode twelve right before Rogue One starts.
During the interview, O'Reilly talked about why she loved showrunner Tony Gilroy’s writing, how Andor takes place before the rebellion is fully formed, getting to work with Stellan Skarsgård, the incredible production design, and more.
Andor features the return of Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera along with newcomers to the series including Adria Arjona (Bix Caleen), Kyle Soller, Denise Gough, and Robert Emms. The 12-episode first season will feature episodes directed by Toby Haynes, Ben Caron, and Susanna White.
