Andor has brought in more than $300 million in global subscriber revenue for Disney+, according to data released by Parrot Analytics. The Star Wars series has outperformed other recent live-action titles from the franchise, including Ahsoka and The Book of Boba Fett.

The estimate covers the period from Andor’s premiere in September 2022 through the end of 2024 and includes anticipated impact from the release of the show’s second season, which debuted on April 22. Parrot’s report attributes the show’s performance to several key factors, including its 12-episode format and weekly release schedule, which helped keep audiences subscribed and engaged over a longer period.

Unlike some Star Wars series that experienced early viewership peaks, Andor saw demand increase over time, with its finale drawing the highest level of audience interest. The show also appeals to a slightly older demographic, with 60% of its viewers over the age of 30 — higher than the franchise average of around 50%. Its gender split is similar to the broader Star Wars audience, which unsurprisingly remains over 70% male.

Set five years before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Andor follows Cassian Andor’s early involvement in the Rebel Alliance. The series has been noted for its focus on political themes and character development, distinguishing it from other entries in the franchise.

Despite Andor’s strong performance, Disney has been reevaluating its strategy for streaming originals. The company is scaling back investment in high-budget series from major franchises amid ongoing concerns about profitability in the streaming market.
