Earlier this yr, The Acolyte debuted on Disney+ with spectacular streaming numbers. However regardless of an open-ended conclusion for the primary season, Disney+ has reportedly canceled The Acolyte and the Star Wars collection won’t proceed.
By way of Deadline, the choice to finish the collection comes simply over a month after The Acolyte wrapped up its first season. The present was the primary live-action Star Wars venture set within the Excessive Republic period and featured Amandla Stenberg in a twin position as twin sisters Osha and Mae.
Whereas The Acolyte was an obvious sufferer of viewers review-bombing, that is not what in the end did within the collection. The present’s two-episode premiere in June had 4.8 million viewers on the primary day, which was the very best Disney+ premiere this yr. Within the first week, it climbed to 11.1 million viewers. Nonetheless, The Acolyte’s momentum evaporated after the third episode and it dropped out of the highest 10 streaming charts. The season finale returned to the highest 10 with 335 million minutes seen, which stands out as the lowest ever for a Star Wars finale.
Collection creator Lesley Headland has shared a few of her concepts for The Acolyte Season 2. However except Lucasfilm decides to pursue that story as a novel or a comic book e book, the final word destiny of the surviving characters is probably not revealed.
