‘Andor’ Architect Tony Gilroy Talks Series Budget, Teaming With Brothers & How He “Divorced” Himself From Show During WGA Strike


Deadline interview with 'Andor' creator about season 2 start, WGA strike impact and more.

Just the funeral in season one or the end of episode 203, the wedding, where we have multiple stories colliding in a big crescendo, and we have music, and we have everything going on, Johnny and I have learned how to do that over the years. I go in with all that to the room, and then Danny and Beau (Willimon), and this time, we added Tom Bissell because I was really afraid that I was going to get short-handed on action, and he’s a Star Wars freak, and it was good to have him in there. We just deal with the budgetary issues that we’ve had along the way, and sometimes they have really big ramifications, but they’re there to, like, launch the boat, and they’re there to provide a sounding board for me, because I’m in an echo chamber a lot of times on the script, and so, Danny’s a drive-by; Johnny’s an everyday grinder for us.
