Andy Serkis Confirms Kino Loy’s Return for ‘Andor’ Season 2
After months of speculation and rumors, we’ve finally received solid confirmation that Kino Loy will return for Andor season 2 via an interview with Andy Serkis for ET Online. The actor talked about the character’s fate after season 1 and what he may be up to in season 2.
Kino Loy would be instrumental in leading the prisoners of Narkina 5 to freedom and in helping to instill courage and leadership within Cassian Andor. However, the show left his fate up in the air when the prisoners had to swim to safety, as he revealed he couldn’t do that.
Very quickly, Kino Loy became a fan-favorite among viewers and Serkis received high acclaim for his performance. This is why the mystery surrounding the character’s fate has become such a hot topic as many fans have wondered whether he’ll be back for season 2. Serkis said:
“If [Kino] jumped, that would be the end of him and he would be out of the picture. But no, he’s alive and he’s working out his next move.”
Unless Serkis is referring to a different Star Wars project where Kino Loy shows up, Serkis’ comments confirm that his character will return in season 2. He also went on to talk about the fan reception to the show, stating:
“It’s incredibly gratifying to know that the writing [resonated]. But the fact that people are responding [and are] emotionally engaged in these characters and every single one is so well written and complex… It means something.”
The second season of Andor is currently in production. It has also been revealed that it will feature time jumps, with every three episodes progressing a year. This means that the show will likely bring the story as close as possible to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, where Cassian Andor is shown to be a prominent captain and spy for the Rebellion.
Forest Whitaker has also confirmed that Saw Gerrera will return for season 2. The show is aiming to wrap production in August, with a Disney Plus premiere roughly a year later. The first season of Andor in its entirety is now streaming on Disney Plus.
