Star Wars: The AcolyteLucasfilm's next live-action series will be released in mid-2024.
According to Collider, the long-awaited TV show will bring out its lightsaber on Disney Plus sometime this summer (that's winter for Aussie readers). Collider has not stated how it learned of the release window for the series set in the High Republic era, but it is likely that one of the outlet's sources passed the information on to its editorial team.
Yes it's true, Star Wars: The Acolyte It will be the first live-action show in the sci-fi franchise to debut on one of the world's top streaming services this year. The bad lot Season 3, the latest entry in the series of the beloved animated show, leads Star Wars' streaming load with its next release on February 21. The acolyteSo, it will apparently be the next show to leave the Lucasfilm production line and possibly take its place on our list of the best Disney Plus shows. You know, if it lives up to our high expectations.
This is not the only potentially good news we have received recently about The acolyte, any. According to prominent industry leaker Daniel RPK (discovered by geek tavern on X, and later on Reddit), the show's trailer is reported to be ready to be released publicly. It's unclear if this trailer will be the same one that was shown exclusively to Star Wars Celebration 2023 attendees in May 2023, or if it will be a completely new cut for us to take a closer look at. Fingers crossed The acolyteThe first Force-push trailer will make its way online very soon, giving us our first look at one of the most notable historical events in the legendary galaxy far, far away.
Supporting the Sith cause
The acolyte It's a show shrouded in mystery, but we have some firm ideas about when it will take place, who's involved, and what its plot will entail.
As we mentioned before, it will be the first Star Wars The project will take place during the High Republic era, the period that passed between 500 and 100 years before the events of the Skywalker saga. Little was known about this era, but it has recently been intensively explored in comic form. The acolytethen, he will surely draw inspiration from his now extensive literature.
According to StarWars.com, it is a mystery thriller that will “take viewers into a galaxy of dark secrets and emerging dark side powers in the final days of the High Republic era. A former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they face are more sinister than they ever anticipated.” So, there's not much to tell story-wise, but one of its stars, Dafne Keen, exclusively told TechRadar that The acolyte will show “how the Sith infiltrated the Jedi” and that “it is a Sith-led story, which has never been done before.”
Joining Keen on the cast list are rising stars, fan-favorite actors, and even a handful of celebrities. Amanda Stenberg (Bodies Bodies Bodies) was confirmed as The acolyteThe first big star in December 2021, and it was another 11 months before Lucasfilm and Disney confirmed who would join Stenberg on the show's roster.
The wait, however, was worth it. Between The acolyteThe many talented actors include Carrie-Anne Moss (Matrix, Jessica Jones), Lee Jung-jae (Squid Game), Jodie-Turner Smith (The Witcher: Origin of Blood), Dean-Charles Chapman (game of Thrones), and Manny Jacinto (Nine perfect strangers) among others. Hey, we said it was a stacked cast.
Leslye Headland, the creation behind the magnificent Netflix film Russian doll Television show, he is in charge of the show. If you needed any indication that the confessed Star Wars The super fan was the right person for the job, all I know is that she proposed The acolyte as Frozen meet kill bill. Yeah, you're really on board now, aren't you? We think so.
