Andor was the most watched live-action Star Wars series in 2025, pulling in 7.4 billion minutes as U.S. viewers spent more than 33 billion minutes watching Star Wars content across linear TV and streaming. Streaming accounted for the bulk of that total, and the show’s final season kept it in Nielsen’s Original Top 10 for six straight weeks last spring.
The numbers show how strongly Andor has become the franchise’s current anchor. Skeleton Crew and The Mandalorian followed among individual series, while Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was the third most watched Star Wars film by minute total in 2025, a result Nielsen said likely got a lift from Andor’s second and final season. A real person looking for the easiest proof of the franchise’s pull would find it in the calendar as much as the rankings: nearly 637 million minutes of Star Wars content were streamed on May 4, the fan-made holiday built around May the Fourth, with animated series Tales of the Underworld launching that day and Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu now set to hit theaters on May 22.
That reach sits on top of a franchise with almost a dozen films and at least as many TV series, many of them available through Disney+, which has become the main hub for Star Wars viewing. The platform matters because it keeps new series, legacy films and spin-offs in one place, making it easier for a title like Andor to pull the audience into both the show and the wider catalog.
The one complication is that the franchise’s biggest streaming surge came before the next major theatrical test arrives. Fans have already turned May 4 into a yearly ritual, and the next chance to see whether that appetite carries into cinemas will come with The Mandalorian and Grogu on May 22. For now, the answer is clear: Andor did not just join the Star Wars conversation in 2025 — it led it.
