With Andor‘s second and final season now complete, Disney is hoping to turn the show’s critical raves and thoughtful discourse into award-season triumphs. It’s submitting the show for consideration in 23 categories at this year’s Emmys. Among the honors Andor hopes to compete for: Outstanding Drama Series, which it was nominated for back in 2023 but ended up losing to Succession.
