The Acolyte, also known as Star Wars: The Acolyte,[2][3] is an American science fiction television series created by Leslye Headland for the streaming service Disney+. It is part of the Star Wars franchise, set at the end of the High Republic era before the events of the Skywalker Saga, and follows a Jedi investigation into a series of crimes.
Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, Charlie Barnett, Dafne Keen, Rebecca Henderson, Jodie Turner-Smith, Carrie-Anne Moss, Manny Jacinto, Dean-Charles Chapman, Joonas Suotamo, Margarita Levieva, Lauren Brady, Leah Brady, Harry Trevaldwyn, and David Harewood star in the series. Headland expressed interest in working on the Star Wars franchise by the end of 2019, and was developing a new series for Lucasfilm by April 2020. She wanted to explore the franchise from the perspective of the villains. The title was announced in December 2020. Filming took place at Shinfield Studios in Berkshire from October 2022 to June 2023, with location filming in Wales and Portugal.
The Acolyte premiered on Disney+ with its first two episodes on June 4, 2024. The following six episodes were released weekly through July 16. The series received lower viewership ratings than previous Star Wars series and was considered divisive among fans of the franchise, becoming the subject of a review bombing campaign. On Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, critic reviews indicated generally favorable reception. The series was canceled after one season in August 2024 due to low ratings.
