The Acolyte is one and done, as it’s now been reported that the Disney+ Star Wars show won’t be getting a second season.
According to Deadline, The Acolyte has been canceled after its debut season. The Star Wars show, which starred Amandla Stenberg and Lee Jung-jae, proved to be quite divisive and wasn’t able to retain its viewership as the season went on. The report states that its season finale is believed to be the lowest for a Star Wars TV show, with 335 million minutes.
For fans of the show, this news will be disappointing. The Acolyte Season 2 had been pitched by showrunner Leslye Headland, who openly discussed that she had plans for a second season and was hoping for a renewal.
Who was involved in The Acolyte?
Star Wars: The Acolyte was written and executive produced by Leslye Headland (Russian Doll), who also served as the showrunner. Joining Stenberg and Lee Jung-jae were Dafne Keen (His Dark Materials), Rebecca Henderson (Inventing Anna), Dean-Charles Chapman (1917), Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix), Manny Jacinto (The Good Place), Jodie Turner-Smith (After Yang), Charlie Barnett (Russian Doll), and Star Wars sequel trilogy alum Joonas Suotama in the form of a Wookiee Jedi master.
“In The Acolyte, an investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master (Lee Jung-jae) against a dangerous warrior from his past (Amandla Stenberg). As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems….” said the official synopsis.
Lucasfilm is currently working on other Star Wars projects, including shows like Skeleton Crew, Andor Season 2, and Ahsoka Season 2.
