Back in April, I found myself taken aback when Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy said he thought nothing like his TV show would ever happen again. The headline sounds almost arrogant, but Gilroy was actually referring to behind-the-scenes events. In his view, Andor was the result of a unique moment in history; "no-one’s ever gonna start a show on this scale again, and shoot it practically, and have the resources and the protection to do something like this," he explained.
