The revolution officially begins now - the revolution in streaming, ie. Andor's season 2 can be considered nothing less than a triumphant success for "Starwells War" as a whole. Creator Tony Gillroy's wild experiment to bring the franchise as kick and screaming in the world of adult politics, paid off in shovels, making the Empire appear as daunting as always and the anti -fascist rebel alliance as relevant as they once were from the 197th year. It feels very undeniable by the creative aspect of things, at least. But what about the business side of the equation? Many are written Huge costs included in the adoption of Ander to life And, well, Lucasfilm didn't have the easiest time to the lately when it comes to getting an audience fully invested in its various Disney+shows. To say that the deck was ordered against this series from the beginning would be an underestimation.

However, against all chances, Andor Season 2 has proven wisdom behind her incredibly unusual liberation strategy ... And finally we have the numbers to support it. More than a few eyebrows raised when we found out that Disney would decide on an unusual streaming approach as we once saw. Instead of announcing an episode on a weekly basis (like Season 1) or lowering the whole season at a time, Netflix style, the studio found a strange midfield: debuting three episodes at the same time every week to the final. As I wrote in my review for /movieThis has proved to be an inspired choice in terms of storytelling. Now, we know that this was the right decision to appeal to viewers (and shareholders) too.

According to Hollywood reporterNielsen's most important ratings since mid -May 2025 (when Andor debuted his last three episodes) to support the show's success. The series "War of Starwelles" not only landed at the top of the rankings for the week from May 12th to May 18th, beating rivals as "the last of us" and "TI" and the unstoppable jongernut known as "Bluja", but also the numbers of viewership also Increased From week to week. Oh, and in a fascinating miracle, fans have apparently spread the Love Coat around in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story". Let's break down all that below.

Note, Hollywood, because this happens when you just let Tony Gilroy cook. "Andor" went out a long way These reports returned during Season 1, indicating that the audience was not so downloaded with the series "Starwars War" As Lucasfilm was probably expected, despite such critical recognition. Regardless of how you cut it, this chapter of the "Starwells War" saga will go down into history books as a complete and total victory ... Despite the resources dealing with the mind, they entered the overall production. But, as always, the numbers tell a few nuanced stories at once.

Let's quickly remove the warnings from the road. Nielsen's rating has always played an intensified role When determining the success or failure of a given television series, but it is worth noting that this system does not follow Every viewer ever. The company's information is limited to those living in the United States for one thing. For another, the numbers account only for people watching a show on a physical television set. Anyone who sees "Andor" on his laptops or phones, Nielsen kind, sends his views, but nothing more. And, of course, the real numbers we are dealing with are pretty nebulous and vague. For example, as a whole, Andor Season 2 has collected 931 million minutes. What really means what really means to average OEO and Janeain on the street? It's a little tougher to measure.

However, with all this, the numbers are still numbers and data are still data. According to any available metrics, Andor Season 2 performed over and above what Disney/Lucasfilm needed. It is clear that, despite concerns that posting episodes in weekly series would force the audience to play a game with eternal craftsmanship, this has only helped to get more steam in the series because he was looking for his heart conclusion. And, talking about what, you know what else ended up to hit Nielsen's top 10 that week? "Rogue One", which fans hastily rethinked as a perfect epilogue to the end of Cassian Andor's bow.

Where does the "Starwells War go" is the assumption of someoneBut mathematics supports what we already knew - "Andor" was the shot in the franchise's hand desperately needed.
