  Parrot analytics revealed that Andor led Canadian demand among digital original series for the week of April 20–27, following the April 22 premiere of its second season on Disney+. The show achieved a demand average of 46.1 times the market average, placing it at No. 1 on the Top 10 Digital Originals chart in Canada. It also ranked No. 3 overall across all TV shows in the country (including linear, pay TV, SVOD, and AVOD), with a demand average of 46, behind The Last of Us and Saturday Night Live.
  
  Whip Media announced that Andor was the top streaming original series in the U.S. for the week ending April 27, as well as for the week ending May 18. Reelgood stated it was the second most-streamed series in the U.S. for the week ending April 30. Justwatch reported that Andor was among the five most-streamed shows in the U.S. from April 28 to May 4, before moving to the top three between May 5–11. It reached first place during the week of May 12–18.
  
  Analytics company Samba TV, which gathers viewership data from certain smart TVs and content providers, revealed that Andor attracted 1.2 million U.S. households who watched the first episode within the first six days. This figure matches the viewership for the premiere episode of Andor Season 1 over the same time span in September 2022. Nielsen Media Research estimated that that the series was watched for 721 million minutes in the U.S. from April 21–27. Approximately 65% of Andor ’s viewing total during the measured period was attributed to the first three new episodes, suggesting that some viewers were also revisiting Season 1. The series was also the most male-skewing title of the week, with 67% of its audience identifying as male. Andor 's viewership later increased to 821 million minutes from April 28 to May 4. It further rose to 830 million minutes from May 5 to 11. Luminate, which gathers viewership data from certain smart TVs in the U.S., said that Andor Season 2 demonstrated strong viewership growth due to its unique release strategy—dropping three episodes per week over four weeks. This approach defied the typical audience drop-off seen in other Star Wars series such as Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew. While those series peaked in their second week, Andor built momentum steadily, culminating in its highest single-day viewership—171 million minutes—with the release of its final batch of episodes. Audience retention between episodes remained stable, with only a 20% drop from episode 3 to episode 4, compared to a 31% decline for Ahsoka. Season 1 had already shown long-term appeal, growing its total audience by 46% over a year, outperforming Ahsoka (20%) and The Mandalorian Season 3 (21%).
