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+.
Manny played my favorite character (I liked others too, but they clearly won’t be in season 2.)
I hope they can find a story for him in a few years and he can continue his journey. Just have the Acolyte story “not work out” but bring him back with someone new.
