The Acolyte is one of the most critically acclaimed shows in the Star Wars franchise, and its first season ended with a hint that the story is far from over. With #RenewTheAcolyte trending on social media, show creator Leslye Headland has given an update on what she's heard about The Acolyte season 2.

In a July 2024 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Headland revealed that she had not heard anything about a second season of The Acolyte from Lucasfilm and Disney Plus. This is after previously discussing the prospects of continuing the story to season two and beyond with Entertainment Weekly in June.
When asked by Entertainment Weekly in July if she had heard anything about Season 2 of The Acolyte, Headland made a large zero with her hands as she said the word “Nothing.”
According to Headland, one of the good things that has come out of Lucasfilm's apparent silence is that it has given her a much-needed break from The Acolyte. However, she admitted that she is still thinking about stories the show could explore in the future. "My brain is still working," she explained. "It's almost like you can't just stop, you can't turn off when you're running."
