Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy reveals why Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) does not appear in season 2. With the second and final season of the critically acclaimed series taking place in the four years leading up to the events of Rogue One, there was speculation about whether Jyn would join the Andor season 2 cast. The season features multiple references to Jyn's father, Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen), and to the planet Eadu where he is stationed, but Jyn does not make an appearance and is never referenced.
