Expected to connect directly to the events ofRogue One,it will feature stars from the movie in guest roles, including the likes ofBen Mendelsohn. But another star is also appearing, and it seems he’s kept it a secret for quite some time.
During New York Comic Con,GrimsburgstarAlan Tudyksat down with Collider’sMaggie Lovittalongside the rest of the series' star-studded cast, but as expected, the conversation couldn’t escape aStar Warsquestion. Tudyk, who famously voiced the snarky droid K-2SO inRogue One: A Star Wars Story, confirmed that his character will be returning for Season 2 ofAndor.
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 toAndor: “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 withDiego 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 writerTony Gilroy.
“Tony Gilroyis a very skilled writer. He’s a big-brained guy. It’ll be interesting for people to seeK-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 ofAndor: “That will be a fresh… I don’t know. We’ll see! Let’s just watch it.”
