One of the extremely bright spots about the first season of The Acolyte was the Stranger, a character who goes by Qimir. And one of the most disappointing parts about not getting a second season of the show is that the Stranger's story won't be continued, at least on screen. In the forthcoming book The [...]
Not long after The Acolyte finished its first season, it was revealed that it would not be renewed for a second season, with insufficient ratings cited as the reason why. But some new numbers shed a bit more light on that situation, suggesting that the show perhaps did better than initially believed. Deadline recently ran [...]
Earlier this week, it was reported that Disney and Lucasfilm have decided not to move forward with a second season of The Acolyte, which has been met by varied reactions from Star Wars fans.

The first season of The Acolyte has come to an end, with the season finale, ironically titled simply "The Acolyte", airing this week.

Wow. That's all I can say at the start of this review after the fifth episode of The Acolyte, "Night". The first four weeks of the series have been mostly building up to this grand reveal of the Sith, who made an appearance at the end of last week's episode. This week was a fast-paced, [...]
It's all about to hit the fan in The Acolyte. It's been a slow build over the first four episodes of the series, but if the ending of the fourth is any indication, things are about to get really crazy and really intense. While the main intrigued about this episode is about what comes next, [...]
The Acolyte is back with the third episode of the series, a flashback that explores a key moment from the past. The episode, titled "Destiny", follows the twins - Osha and Mae - as kids, and in the process explores some important beats established in the first two episodes, even if in an unstable way. [...]
