“The Acolyte” has been canceled at Disney+ after just one season, according to media reports.
The news that the Amandla Stenberg-led series won’t return for more stories in a galaxy far, far away comes a little more than a month after the end of Season 1. The show took place in The High Republic era around a hundred years before the prequel trilogy of films.
Leslye Headland helmed the latest series set in the “Star Wars” universe. Initially, things seemed to be smooth sailing for the new show. The premiere episode of “The Acolyte” reached 11.1 million views within its first five days of streaming on Disney+, earning its place as the streamer’s most-watched series premiere in 2024.
