We could’ve had 3 to 5 seasons of number one overall ranking, but Disney is too cheap to spend the $$.
That was Disney’s intention but Tony Gilory convinced them to just do two

That’s what was said in public. But the bigger picture is that it was an expensive show to produce.

“Still, there’s more at play than narrative symmetry. Each episode reportedly costs around $20 million to produce, making Andor one of the most expensive shows in Star Wars history. “
Didn’t Diego Luna also not want to do 5 seasons? I think many things factored into the 2 seasons.
Yeah from what I heard it was both Tony and Diego's decision as after the amount of work that went into season 1 they didn't think they could do 5 seasons
It was the smart choice. It would have been cancelled after the 2nd season anyway.
