‘Andor’ Star Adria Arjona Talks Joining ‘Star Wars’ and a Potential Bix Spinoff
With Andor set to conclude at the end of Season 2, Adria Arjona has already begun to consider her future in a galaxy far, far away.
Arjona portrays Bix, a mechanic and former girlfriend of Cassian Andor from the planet Ferrix. The last time we saw Arjona’s character, she had been captured and tortured by the Imperial Security Bureau.

While fans will have to wait for Season 2 to arrive to find out what happens to her character next, in a recent interview with Variety, Arjona admitted that she has already considered what could happen next with Bix after Andor ends.

“I feel like a big spinoff could be later in my career. I’m trying to give job security to myself in the future,” she said. “I’m trying to elongate it. I got a tattoo for Bix. My makeup artist from the show did it in my trailer.”
Representation in Star Wars
For Arjona, portraying Bix has been an emotional experience. Not only was she a Star Wars fan before the show, but she also feels that she gives the franchise a kind of representation that it has been missing.
“It’s really emotional. When the first season premiered, the trailer had come out, maybe a couple days or a teaser had come out and I get to the premiere and there’s this wonderful, beautiful Latin woman in my costume,” she recalled. “She had maybe 24 hours to create this costume. She started crying. She’s like, ‘I’m the biggest Star Wars fan, but I had never seen a woman like myself in Star Wars.’”

“I started crying. That’s had always been a dream of mine to be in Star Wars, to be in that universe and to represent and not in a gimmicky way. I am not a Latin woman in Star Wars. I’m just a woman in Star Wars,” Arjona continued.
When Will Andor Season 2 Premiere
At this time, we do not have a release date for Andor Season 2.

As the show is not on Disney+’s 2024 schedule, it’s probably safe to assume that the season will debut in 2025.
