Looks like The Acolyte is getting the Darth Vader treatment—it’s been choked out before a second season could take off! Despite a strong start with 11.1 million views in its first five days, the latest live-action Star Wars series saw its momentum fade, eventually dropping out of Nielsen’s Top 10 before a brief return for the season finale. According to Deadline, Disney has decided not to proceed with Season 2, though there’s been no official word from the House of Mouse yet.
Showrunner Leslye Headland had hinted at future mysteries, but it seems they’ll remain unsolved for now. With Star Wars: Skeleton Crew set to premiere in December and more seasons of Andor and Ahsoka on the horizon, there’s still plenty to look forward to in the galaxy far, far away.
