During last weekend’s New York Comic Con, K-2SO star Alan Tudyk sat down with Collider’s Maggie Lovitt, and as expected, the conversation turned to Star Wars with Tudyk confirming that his character will be returning for the second and final season of Andor.
Lovitt asked Tudyk about the challenges of maintaining secrecy over the past four years, especially when fans constantly speculated about K-2SO’s return. Tudyk joked, “It was fine. I don’t know. It’s so tricky now. You never know what you can say and what you can’t say.” He went on to explain the pressure actors face to avoid spoilers, adding, “One slip up and then you find it on your phone, like, ‘What did you say?’ So, I think a lot of actors, we’ve all gotten muscles around lying.” When Lovitt pointed out that acting involves a level of deception, Tudyk responded with a laugh, “Well, actually, I consider myself a truth-teller.”
Tudyk then officially confirmed his return to Andor: “Yeah, I’m gonna be in it. I can’t tell you how much, so I still have secrets and I can’t say anything about it, but it was fun to be back with Diego Luna.” While Tudyk couldn’t reveal much about his role in the upcoming season, he hinted at the dynamic between K-2SO and the show’s tone, praising showrunner and head writer Tony Gilroy.
“Tony Gilroy is a very skilled writer. He’s a big-brained guy. It’ll be interesting for people to see K-2SO in that world because he was such a smartass , and there was a lot of humor around his being there.”
Tudyk’s comments teased fans about what’s to come, promising that K-2SO’s return will bring some levity to the darker tone of Andor: “That will be a fresh… I don’t know. We’ll see! Let’s just watch it.”
Whilst we wait patiently for the second season of Andor, you can watch the first series in full on Disney+ now.
