Alan Tudyk tells Collider that he won’t be part of the show’s debut season as the creative plan for the show doesn’t include his loveable murder grump-bot coming into the storyline until later on.

“They’re shooting it right now, I’m not in it,” the actor said. “But, if it stays on the air, stories keep getting told, I’ll end up in there … I’m going to be in the show. It’s just that the story that is telling doesn’t involve K-2SO until later on… I can’t be too specific, but I can definitely say that I’m not going to be in the first season.”

Reflecting on the fact that he has been part of the promotion, the actor joked: “I’m all these announcements for the show, and I had suggested at D23 when we announced in the show, that it be called K2 Fast K2 Furious: The Cassian Andor Series and, um, that’s not happening, it’s called Andor!”

Andor is shooting now in London and should hopefully spawn future seasons so Tudyk does get to report to work. At least while he still can, given the physical challenges… “I do know this: I have to be on stilts for it, because the character is 7’1″, and I’m not one of those guys that says, ‘somebody else do the motion capture, and I’ll voice it later’. I’ll have to do the motion capture, and I turn 50 in March. So I hope they get to it soon, because I’m not going to be on stilts in, like, five years. I’m not doing it!”
