The science-fiction epic Andor has officially claimed the top spot as the best show of 2025, according to the latest rankings from Empire magazine. This prestigious recognition follows the conclusion of the Star Wars spin-off, which recently reached its narrative climax with a widely acclaimed second and final season.
Empire’s curated selection of the year’s standout television also features several other heavy hitters: The Age of Transition, Alien: Earth, The Studio, and Mr. Scorsese. The list is further bolstered by the long-awaited return of Severance (Season 2), One of Many, the third installment of The White Lotus, and the second season of The Last of Us.
Serving as a gritty precursor to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Andor chronicles the turbulent origins of the Rebel Alliance. The story focuses on the formation of a clandestine resistance movement dedicated to dismantling the oppressive shadow of the Galactic Empire.
