NEW Star Wars Disney+ Series “The Acolyte”

The Lucasfilm portion of the Disney Investor Day 2020 event brought about a lot of surprises. One of the briefly discussed, yet quite interesting Disney+ shows talked about was “The Acolyte”.

Intriguingly described as a “mystery-thriller”, “The Acolyte” could be the first Star Wars Disney+ series that focuses on a character on the Dark Side of the Force.

Leslye Headland brings a new @StarWars series to @DisneyPlus with The Acolyte. “The Acolyte” is a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era.
