nme.com:

The Acolyte is drawing to a close this week – but will there be a second season of the hit new Star Wars spin off?The show is set 100 years before Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace and episodes were released to streaming on Disney+ on June 4.The Acolyte has been created by Russian Doll’s Leslye Headland and it stars Amandla Stenberg (The Hate U Give, Bodies Bodies Bodies) in the twin lead roles of Osha and Mae.

The two characters are raised by a coven of witches, led by Jodie Turner-Smith,and are separated by tragedy, with Osha training as a Jedi before lapsing, while Mae turns to the dark side.The show has received much critical acclaim, including NME in a a four-star review of the show.

We said of the show: “As with everything in Star Wars, balance is everything – but it feels like Headland has managed to walk a finer line than most with The Acolyte.

It’s new, without feeling unconnected. Pristine, but not too shiny. Fun, but still substantial. It feels like a place to grow from, as well as a worthy stand-alone story in its own right.”The instalments of the show have been released weekly on Disney+ with the final one due to air today (July 16).As yet, there has been no official confirmation that the show will return.
