Superb news arrives as production on season 2 potentially hangs in the balance, the first season has won a prestigeous Peabody Award, rightly recognising the craft and excellence on display from writing to music to acting and physical production.
Here’s how the win was announced on the Peabody site and socials.
“Andor”
Few other long-running franchises loom as large in today’s contemporary pop cultural imagination than Star Wars. Yet amid stories of destiny-driven heroes and doomed superpowered villains, Tony Gilroy’s Andor tackles that familiar galaxy with plenty of spectacle, but also a keen-eyed commitment to mirroring our own mundane trials and tribulations as it follows scavenger Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), who unwittingly becomes radicalized in the wake of a police state intent on crushing any and all signs of the Rebel Alliance.
