Sanne Wohlenberg is an executive producer on Season One of Andor.
After Sanne Wohlenberg finished working on the Chernobyl series, she served as the producer of record for the Andor television series. She came with the existing pieces of the show. Tony Gilroy joined the show as a writer during Wohlenberg's time as the producer of record. She eventually became an executive producer for the Andor television series. During the week-long writers' room in November, 2019 in New York, Gilroy introduced his idea of the prison on Narkina 5, Wohlenberg initially found the idea terrifying because she thought it was familiar and she feared falling into the prison trope. Wohlenberg and the writers contextualized the prison and made it fresh for Star Wars. Wohlenberg helped feed the writers' creative flow and helped them think about what they could accomplish in a practical way and made it so. She felt that the process was a large collaboration and an exciting journey. The best idea for the prison ended up winning.
The first season took place five years before the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and Gilroy wanted to end the series right before the events of the film. He realized that maintaining the show's scope for four more seasons would be too overwhelming, so he and Wohlenberg decided that Season Two would use Season One's structure in which a story arc would unfold over three episodes written and directed by the same team. Gilroy and the crew decided to use each block to represent a year.
Wohlenberg found the show to be an unusual journey because they had to find the beginning of a story that people already know the ending of. She was prepared to take on the show's 195 speaking roles due to the quality of the material. Wohlenberg expected that the engagement with characters would captivate audiences and get them to come back every week. She felt like delving into familiar characters was the perfect reason to make the series. Wohlenberg enjoyed getting to explore Mon Mothma and offering unexpected insights. Wohlenberg and her team put much thought into how they would represent Mothma and show her journey, and they stayed aware of where she ended up in Rogue One. In September, 2022, Wohlenberg attended the Andor launch event in Hollywood, California.
