A new Andor prequel novel is officially on the way, and the cover reveal is packed with details that should get Star Wars readers paying attention. Star Wars: Reign of the Empire: Edge of the Abyss is set one year before Andor Season 1, and it brings together a cast that makes this feel like a major story for the early rebellion era.

So it feels more than fitting that IndieWire has officially named Elizabeth Dulau one of the breakout film and television performers of 2025 for her staggering work as Kleya Marki in Andor Season 2.
