Andor is back to the Star Wars franchise with its season 2, but fans still have to wait until more episodes are dropped. Here are some other brilliant options you can enjoy in the meantime.

However, it’s not only the Star Wars-related sci-fi gems that can do the trick for Andor’s fans, with many more options being out there for you to explore.

Whether you want to give them a try after completing Andor’s new season or are willing to fill the void until the new episodes’ arrival, these Andor-like TV series are not something to miss out on.
