The Acolyte Canceled, Season 2 of Star Wars Disney+ Show Won’t Happen

As a devoted Star Wars enthusiast who has been through the highs and lows of this epic saga, I must say that I am both surprised and somewhat disheartened by the news of The Acolyte‘s untimely cancellation. Having eagerly anticipated each new episode, I found myself captivated by the intricate plotlines, the stellar cast, and the promise of a deeper exploration into the Star Wars universe.


It appears there will be no additional seasons for “The Acolyte,” as recent reports confirm that the Disney+ Star Wars series has been concluded after its initial run.

Based on Deadline’s report, it appears that the first season of “The Acolyte,” a Star Wars series featuring Amandla Stenberg and Lee Jung-jae, has been terminated. The program generated mixed opinions among viewers and struggled to maintain its audience as the season progressed. It is believed that the finale of the show garnered only 335 million minutes of viewing time, which reportedly is the lowest for any Star Wars TV series.

For enthusiasts of the series, it’s unfortunate to hear this, as Leslye Headland, the showrunner, has proposed the idea for Season 2 of The Acolyte. She has shared her intentions for another season and expressed hope for its renewal.

Who was involved in The Acolyte?

In a new series titled “Star Wars: The Acolyte,” Leslye Headland (creator of Russian Doll) serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. Alongside stars like Marsai Martin and Park Bo-young, other cast members include Dafne Keen (from 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 Joonas Suotama, known for his role in the Star Wars sequel trilogy as a Wookiee Jedi master.

As I eagerly anticipate the upcoming series, “The Acolyte,” I find myself drawn into a chilling exploration of a string of startling crimes. A revered Jedi Master, portrayed by Lee Jung-jae, finds himself squaring off against an ominous adversary from his past, embodied by Amandla Stenberg. With each new piece of the puzzle falling into place, we delve deeper into a shadowy world where it becomes increasingly clear that not everything is as it seems…

Right now, Lucasfilm is busy developing various Star Wars initiatives, such as series like Skeleton Crew, the second season of Andor, and the second season of Ahsoka.
