‘Andor’ Season 2 Not Bringing Back Alex Ferns’ Linus Mosk
Actor Alex Ferns has confirmed on social media that his character on Andor, Syril Karn’s mate Sergeant Linus Mosk, will not return for season 2.
When replying to a fan that asked for the character to transition into a “silly little rebel”, he replied: “I thought that would be the case but alas you’ve seen the end of Mosk.” The last time we saw Mosk was during the insurrection on Rix Road after Maarva’s funeral, which he attended with Syril Karn (Kyle Soller).
Ahhh!! @clonehumor I thought that would be the case but alas you’ve seen the end of Mosk. I had a blast playing him and I’m glad you and others enjoyed him too. Au revoir

Kyle Soller is confirmed to be returning for season 2, which will kick off a year after the events that went down in Ferrix. The format of storytelling is changing slightly in the second season — once again, each block of three episodes will tell a self-contained story, but they will have less interconnectivity between them, as there will be a year-long time jump in between blocks. That way, the writers will be covering the four-year gap between season 1 and Rogue One, telling the story of the definitive formation of the Rebel Alliance.
Other than Ferns, the entire main cast is expected to return. So far, we have official confirmation on Diego Luna (Cassian Andor), Alan Tudyk (K-2SO), Genevieve O’Reilly (Mon Mothma), Stellan Skarsgård (Luthen Rael), Duncan Pow (Melshi), and Adria Arjona (Bix Caleen). The writers are also all returning — Tony Gilroy, Dan Gilroy, Beau Willimon, and Stephen Schiff will now be joined by Tom Bissell. The directing team on the second season includes Ariel Kleiman (6 episodes), Janus Metz (3 episodes), and Alonso Ruizpalacios (3 episodes).
Andor season 2 is currently in production in multiple locations across the UK. It will be shooting through August and is expected to hit Disney Plus sometime in the second half of 2024. You can check out Josh’s review of the finale here, or keep up with the latest Andor news here.
Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as movies from Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
