Andor creator Tony Gilroy returns with mysterious new drama
Tony Gilroy, the acclaimed creator of Andor, is returning with a new project that marks his foray into music-themed drama. The film, titled Behemoth!, will star Pedro Pascal, who previously collaborated with Gilroy in the Star Wars universe through The Mandalorian.
Produced by Searchlight Pictures and scheduled for December release, Behemoth! appears to be a mystery centered around a high-stress music environment. The first trailer reveals Pascal navigating a frantic narrative filled with personal complications, including a reunion with his estranged brother (Will Arnett), encounters with an ex-partner (Olivia Wilde), and a developing workplace romance with a colleague (Eva Victor).
Unlike Gilroy’s sci-fi work on Andor, this project represents a significant genre shift toward intimate drama and character-driven storytelling within the music world. The trailer suggests a narrative built on tension and interpersonal conflict rather than the sprawling espionage elements that defined his acclaimed television series.
The project signals Gilroy’s continued collaboration with A-list talent and his willingness to explore different storytelling territories beyond his Star Wars work. With Searchlight Pictures backing the project, Behemoth! is positioned as a prestige drama with commercial appeal.
