The Rogue One: A Star Wars Story spinoff series starring Diego Luna as Cassian Andor has officially added its first new cast members.
Variety is reporting that Stellan Skarsgard and Kyle Soller are both in final negotiations to star in the Cassian Andor series. They join Diego Luna and Alan Tudyk, who reprises his Rogue One role of K2S0, the reprogrammed Imperial droid.

The untitled Cassian Andor series is the third Disney+ Star Wars series, following Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian, and the untitled Obi-Wan Kenobi series, set to be directed by Deborah Chow and written Joby Harold.
