We recently learned that Disney+ has been canceled Star Wars: The Acolyte after just one season. No details were given as to why, but a new report has emerged claiming that Lucasfilm was recently gearing up to develop Season 2.
This report comes from The Hot Mic co-host John Rocha, who was told by sources that The Acolyte it actually had a “soft green light” to continue.
He goes on to say that Lucasfilm was “assembling a writing team for season two in February with Leslye Headland, and that last month they began secretly inquiring about the level of interest and availability of directors for a second season.”
If this is true, it would be interesting to know what changed between early development and cancellation.
If the studio was still planning a second season last month, everyone would have already known about the outcome of the series and the level of backlash it received from fans.
I’m sure more details will start to emerge about what was going on behind the scenes. In the meantime, what do you think happened?
