Now that The Acolyte has wrapped up its first season, followers are questioning if there can be a season 2 of the Star Wars collection.
After eight episodes, The Acolyte has come to an finish, however will there be a second season of the Star Wars collection? Whereas talking with Entertainment Weekly, The Acolyte showrunner Leslye Headland didn’t have an optimistic response when requested a couple of potential season 2.
When requested what she’s heard in regards to the present getting the inexperienced gentle for a second season, Headland stated, “Nothing.” Whereas this would possibly come as dangerous information for many who want to see extra of the present, Headland doesn’t see it that approach.
“You have to take a break,” Headland stated. “Particularly after one thing like this. I don’t even know what number of years my mind has been going, Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars, Acolyte, Acolyte, Acolyte — simply continuously fixing issues, continuously desirous about it. It is vitally bizarre to now be in a spot the place I don’t want to do this. I all the time say to budding writers, ‘The most important thing that you can do is sit around and do nothing. Because the second you start to manufacture a story, you’re going to get wired, and the story can’t begin that approach.’“
If and when Lucasfilm does set The Acolyte season 2 in movement, Headland has loads of concepts for the subsequent stage of the story, together with studying extra about Vernestra Rwoh (Rebecca Henderson) and the Stranger (Manny Jacinto). “I think if we’re allowed to continue telling this story, you’ll see more of Vern’s history with the Stranger and how that’s affecting the decisions she’s making now,” Headland stated. Though there have been loads of threads left untouched, Headland wished to guarantee that the main storylines did get a decision. “We wanted to answer a lot of questions,” Headland stated. “We wanted to show Qimir’s master. We weren’t going to wait a second season for that. We wanted to wrap up the twin storyline. We were not going to leave everybody hanging. They’ve sat through all of this, and we want to reward people for watching.” These massive cameos within the finale would even be one thing that will be developed in a second season.
Disney doesn’t give out official numbers relating to The Acolyte‘s viewership, and whereas the present has completed nicely, it is one of many least-watched Star Wars exhibits on Disney+. Mixed with the hefty $180 million funds, you may perceive why Lucasfilm could be doubting whether or not a second season is value it.
