The Acolyte is done for, as it has now been reported that the Disney+ Star Wars series will not be getting a second season.
The Acolyte Season 2 NOT HAPPENING?! Media ADMITS the show is a failure!
According to Deadline, The Acolyte has been canceled after its debut season. The Star Wars show, starring Amandla Stenberg and Lee Jung-jae, proved to be a divisive one, failing to maintain its ratings as the season progressed. The report states that the season finale is expected to be the lowest for a Star Wars TV show, at 335 million minutes.
For fans of the show, this news will be disappointing. The Acolyte Season 2 was pitched by showrunner Leslye Headland, who has spoken openly about plans for a second season and hopes for a renewal.
Star Wars: The Acolyte was written and executive produced by Leslye Headland (Russian Doll), who also served as showrunner. Stenberg and Lee Jung-jae were joined by 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.
