Karlston Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Leslye Headland’s Star Wars prequel series won’t be coming back for a second season on Disney Plus. Image: Disney Though Disney Plus’ The Acolyte series introduced some very compelling new characters and lore to the Star Wars canon, its story about the dark side of the Force won’t be continuing with a second season. Though its season one finale seemed to be setting up the series for more episodes, Deadline reports that Disney has canceled The Acolyte. Things were rocky from the start for the show as Star Wars fans displeased with its cast and premise took to review-bombing it in droves, but Disney’s cancellation decision was reportedly driven by The Acolyte’s less-than-desirable viewership numbers. The news comes just a little over a year after Disney CEO Bob Iger told CNBC that reigning in spending on big budget Marvel and Star Wars projects could be an important part of his plan to get the company back in a healthier financial position. And given how expensive The Acolyte was to produce, it doesn’t entirely come as a surprise that it’s meeting its end so soon. Source Hope you enjoyed this news post.
