Warning! This article contains spoilers for Andor season 2. The dynamic between Kleya and Luthen between Andor seasons 1 and 2 changed somewhat, with showrunner Tony Gilroy explaining exactly why. Although learning more about the titular character has always been a draw of the show,

Gilroy is actually less interested in fan theories and more into the "very complicated" idea driving Luthen and Kleya's bond.

Andor creator Tony Gilroy explains that he wrote a Kleya and Luthen backstory episode so that nobody else could do it later. Star Elizabeth Dulau reveals one flashback scene that did not make it into the episode. Dulau also names the songs she listened to on her "Luthen playlist" before killing him.
