**Warning – Spoilers ahead for Andor**
Andor saw another change of scenery for Cassian as he was forced into prison Narkina 5. With no chance of escape in sight, we look ahead to preview Episode 9 and confirm the release time.
Episode 8, titled Narkina 5, saw Cassian transported to the titular prison to serve out his six-year sentence. After meeting room leader Kino and the labor mates of Table 5, Cassian soon integrated into the workflow after 30 days, once adjusting to the brutality of stepping out of line. Elsewhere, Mon Mothma continued to work the room with Tay Kolma now on board her plan and Karn piqued the interest of the ISB, who warned him never to file a report on Cassian Andor again.
Created by Tony Gilroy for Disney Plus, Andor is a prequel series to Star Wars spin-off Rogue One, returning Diego Luna as Cassian Andor. Set five years before the Jyn Erso-led project, Andor also stars Genevieve O’Reilly, Stellan Skarsgård, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, and Fiona Shaw.

Episode 9 Preview
Episode 9 will surely see the narrative return to Narkina 5, where another time jump may be in place. This week’s entry saw “30 Shifts” pass, therefore, another bout of time may fly by since none of the rebels know where Cassian is.
Luthen will continue to strengthen the rebellion after Saw’s dismissal and it’ll likely be a race against time to see if the ISB or Vel find Cassian first.
With Karn scolded by the ISB, it is possible that he will take matters into his own hands, meaning three groups could be coming for Cassian.
With the ISB growing in force across the galaxy, we’ll also return to Ferrix to see how Bix’s interrogation goes alongside Maarva’s dwindling health.
