The Acolyte aired in June 2024 on Disney+ but was cancelled after just one season. Despite the early end, fans have stayed loyal to the show and are now hoping for a second season.
The Star Wars series followed a former Padawan who reconnects with her Jedi Master to investigate mysterious crimes. Their journey led them to a powerful new enemy known only as The Stranger.
The show ran for eight episodes but was not renewed, especially compared to more popular Star Wars titles like Andor and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Still, its fanbase never gave up.
This week, Rebecca Henderson, who played Vernestra Rwoh, shared a message that renewed fan excitement. She reposted a fan campaign from Instagram and added hashtags like #renewtheacolyte and #AcolyteSummer with a message saying, “Thank you for all your love and support.”
So far, Disney has not confirmed a second season. But fans are hopeful that with enough support, the series might return. A second season could explore Vernestra’s deeper story, her connection to The Stranger, and even the mysterious appearance of Darth Plagueis.
With many Star Wars projects in the works, The Acolyte still faces an uphill battle. But fans remain united in their push to bring the show back.
