What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Andor and/or the Rebellion

Andor

Hey, Flash, wanna hear a joke?! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, November 9!

Our Top Pick tonight is the Star Wars action series Andor (Disney+, 3 a.m.). The show follows thief-turned-Rebel spy Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) in the years prior to Rogue One, which served as the introduction to the character. It also shows the earlier days of the still-developing Rebel Alliance with Stellan Skarsgård's Luthen Rael and Genevieve O'Reilly's Mon Mothma.

Elsewhere, the royals welcome the '90s, Reginald must survive, country music has awards, the Pawn Stars travel, Documentary Now! wraps season 54, Zootopia gets shorts treatment, Savage X Fenty Show returns for another volume, and Nova explains crypto.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
