After an eight-episode run that was met with mixed reviews, largely thanks to review-bombing efforts, The Acolyte was officially canceled a little over a month after airing on the 2024 TV Schedule. Fans of the series immediately flooded social media to share their disappointment over the news and to start a petition to save the series. However, the opposite seems to be happening, and many are concerned that the High Republic Star Wars series will be joining the Disney+ graveyard of deleted shows.
Though the series got off to a slow start, enthusiasm started to grow as the action increased, and Disney indulged in the hype by releasing a thirst trap of Manny Jacinto’s character . Many fans and the creator, Leslye Headland, had hoped the show would get a second season, especially after The Acolyte's cliffhanger ending . Unfortunately, that won’t be the case.
What makes The Acolyte's cancellation even worse is now fans are wondering if it's going to be taken off Disney+. Fans Are Concerned The Acolyte Will Be Removed From Disney+ As more and more streaming services delete titles to save money , fans are worried that The Acolyte might be the next victim. Some believe the purge has already begun after eagle-eyed fans reportedly noticed that all the themed merchandise previously available on the Disney Store website was seemingly gone.
