Disney+ Cancels ‘Star Wars: The Acolyte’ After One Season
Despite a strong start, the Disney+ Star Wars series “The Acolyte” won’t be returning for a second season, according to Deadline.
The show, which concluded its eight-episode run on July 16th, initially garnered significant attention with its two-episode premiere on June 4th. It even held the title of the biggest series premiere on Disney+ this year, racking up 4.8 million views on its first day and 11.1 million views globally within five days.

However, viewership dwindled after the initial excitement, with the show dropping out of Nielsen’s Top 10 originals chart after its second week. The finale’s viewership numbers were particularly concerning, clocking in at 335 million minutes, believed to be the lowest for any Star Wars series finale.
This cancellation doesn’t mean the end of Star Wars content on Disney+. Fans can still look forward to upcoming releases like “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” and the second season of “Andor,” details of which were unveiled at the recent D23 Expo.
