The story of The Acolyte will not continue, with Lucasfilm opting not to proceed with a second season of the Star Wars offshoot starring Amandla Stenberg, sources tell Deadline.
Word of the decision comes more than a month after the eight-episode first season of the series from creator, director, executive producer and showrunner Lesley Headland wrapped its run on Disney+.
I rather enjoyed it unlike Kenobi and The Book of Boba Fett, it did a lot of things right and I was interested in seeing where it went. I have no regrets having watched it and hope some of the dangling threads are picked up elsewhere (I wouldn’t be surprised if they announced a comic book based in the season 2 plans).
