Star Wars might be in for another popularity surge on Disney Plus, as a new rumor suggests that one upcoming show is already in the preliminary stages of a second season, several months before fans and critics can even see the show’s premiere.
While theStar Warsfranchise has always been a movie-centered experience with its main focus on the original, prequel, and then sequel trilogies, the franchise has grown to include a strong presence on the small screen. The popularity of Star Wars shows ballooned with the unique aura of space western The Mandalorian. It could do so again with The Acolyte,an upcoming Star Wars show set in a less-explored era on the timeline. The plot is set 100 years before the events of the mainlineStar Wars movies and will chronicle a former Padawan and their Master reuniting to investigate crimes with a sinister force behind them.
While fans are cautiously eager to see what the show can do based on its massive storytelling potential, with even Star Wars: The Acolyte's inspirations coming from an unexpected source, executives overseeing the show’s development have reportedly made a move demonstrating massive confidence. According to the trusted insights of Daniel Richtman via his Patreon, despite still being over three months away from the stated release date for the show’s first season, plans are already underway for The Acolyte season 2. While filming for the eight-episode first season wrapped in June of 2023, the show still hasn’t seen any critical reviews or audience scores, making the early season 2 plans a pretty strong statement on the part of the studio that the project will be a hit.
Richtman also alleges that the writer’s room is set, which is unsurprising, as Star Wars: The Acolyte already boasted an impressive list of writers. With the synopsis given and the feedback from interviews and BTS shots, it’s good news for fans that the show’s limitless potential will be shaped and crafted by an expert team with a solid head start on the project. While fans are still in the dark about the quality and scope of the first season’s plot, they will be relieved if the first season does as well as executives hope it does. This contrasts with the current state of Star Wars: Ahsoka,which has the feel of a franchise leader but remains without an official season 2 renewal despite Dave Filoni working on it.
It’ll be interesting to see how things go with the project, as The Acolyte has been highlighted as a Sith-led story with a darker tone, a concept Star Wars fans believe could save the franchise, indicating that the fans and executives might be thinking the same thing every once in a while. The fans, however, will have to wait until the show premieres for streaming to know if they agree
