The show Andor diverges from expectations by redefining the relationship between Cassian Andor and K-2SO. Showrunner Tony Gilroy ignored a comic backstory for K-2, stating he found it unhelpful. K-2's presence in the second season was deemed distracting, which influenced the show’s focus on clandestine missions. Gilroy had to reduce their time together to one year and skipped significant moments that could have developed their bond. This decision disappointed fans who anticipated a deeper exploration of their partnership, leaving actor Alan Tudyk to navigate his performance through minimal context.
Gilroy stated he was "annoyed" that another writer had given K-2 a backstory and chose to disregard it for Andor, emphasizing his creative freedom in storytelling.
Gilroy initially envisioned a more dramatic introduction for K-2 but had to abandon it due to budget constraints, affecting the overall portrayal of the character.
