Returning for its second and final season on Disney+, Andor, a project widely considered one of Star Wars most critically acclaimed, delves into the pivotal years directly preceding the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The series charts Cassian Andor’s (Diego Luna) transformation from a resourceful rogue into the burgeoning rebel hero who eventually perishes in the Battle of Scariff, the climactic conflict that set the stage for the Battle of Yavin in Star Wars: A New Hope (Episode IV).

Self-proclaimed “really good lawyer” Matt Murdock returns to the streets of Hell’s Kitchen in the aptly named revival series Daredevil: Born Again. This time, however, the series has made the jump from Netflix to its new owner, Disney+, and had some creative team shifts behind the scenes. Fans of Ol’ Hornhead need not fret though, as the overall mature tone of the series and the quality of storytelling are still intact in this intense re-introduction of the character into the broader MCU.
