With Andor‘s second and final season now complete, Disney is hoping to turn the show’s critical raves and thoughtful discourse into award-season triumphs. It’s submitting the show for consideration in 23 categories at this year’s Emmys. Among the honors Andor hopes to compete for: Outstanding Drama Series, which it was nominated for back in 2023 but ended up losing to Succession.
The 2025 race is again a strong one, with Severance the likely frontrunner. But even if Andor doesn’t claim the top prize, it still has excellent chances to not only be nominated in, but win several other categories. According to Variety, these are the categories in which Disney is submitting Andor for Emmy consideration:
The rest of the categories are: Casting for a Drama Series, Cinematography for a Series (One Hour), Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes, Period of Fantasy/Sci-Fi Makeup (Non-Prosthetic), Period or Fantasy/Sci-Fi Hairstyling, Production Design for a Narrative Period or Fantasy Program (One Hour or More), Music Composition for a Series (One Hour or More), Music Composition for a Series (Original Dramatic Score), Original Music and Lyrics (“We Are the Ghor”), Picture Editing for a Drama Series, Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series (One Hour), Sound Mixing for a Drama Series (One Hour), Special Visual Effects in a Season or a Movie, Stunt Coordination for Drama Programming, and Stunt Performance.
Star Wars series are no strangers to Emmy wins; The Mandalorian is currently the live-action show with the most trophies, having won 15 total across its three seasons in mostly technical categories. This year’s Emmy nominations are announced July 15, and the ceremony will be held September 14 in Los Angeles. What are your predictions?
