Star Wars: The Acolyte has been cancelled after just one season.

The Force was not with The Acolyte, as Deadline studies that the Star Wars collection has been cancelled after just one season.

The first season of The Acolyte wrapped up over a month in the past and there had been no phrase on whether or not it might be introduced again for a second season. While the collection actually had its followers, it was one of the least-watched Star Wars reveals on Disney+ regardless of a powerful opening. Toss in a hefty $180 million price range, and you’ll perceive why Lucasfilm has elected to cancel The Acolyte.

The Acolyte takes place 100 years earlier than the occasions of The Phantom Menace and follows Jedi Master who investigates a surprising crime spree which pits him towards a harmful warrior from his previous. The collection stars Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, Manny Jacinto, Jodie Turner-Smith, Dafne Keen, Rebecca Henderson, Charlie Barnett, Dean-Charles Chapman, and Carrie-Anne Moss.

Showrunner Leslye Headland spoke a few potential second season just final month, confirming that she had heard “nothing” from Lucasfilm however didn’t essentially see that as a nasty factor on the time. “You have to take a break,” Headland stated. “Especially after one thing like this. I don’t even know what number of years my mind has been going, Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars, Acolyte, Acolyte, Acolyte — just consistently fixing issues, consistently fascinated with it. It could be very bizarre to now be in a spot the place I don’t want to do this. I at all times say to budding writers, ‘The most important thing that you can do is sit around and do nothing. Because the second you start to manufacture a story, you’re going to get wired, and the story can’t begin that means.’“

Although The Acolyte did wrap up a lot of its fundamental plot factors over the course of eight episodes, loads of threads, together with some intriguing cameos, have been left dangling for an additional season. While I’m positive there are some who will rejoice with this information, I’ll admit to being somewhat disillusioned. The Acolyte wasn’t an ideal collection, however I used to be trying ahead to a second season, if solely to study extra concerning the dark-side characters and their motivations.
