Pretty Little Liars , My Lady Jane and Star Wars: The Acolyte are just some of the shows fans lost in 2024 that they don’t think they should have.

In this version of events, Jane and husband Guildford ( Edward Bluemel ) aren’t beheaded.
The twist? Certain people are able to transform into animals in this universe and the fun doesn’t end there. “I think I heard someone say that every tortured female heroine in history deserves a rom-com written about her. I think they really do,” Bader told TVInsider in June 2024.
“We’re focusing on the female gaze in a way that I think is really fun and unexpected. The Tudor times were, you could say, bleak, so it needed a little bit of fun. I think it’s just such a refreshing take on a female story.

Star Wars: The Acolyte is wildly different in tone and content, but it faced the same fate. The popular Disney+ series wasn’t renewed for a second season — despite Amandla Stenberg and Manny Jacinto receiving an outpouring of support from viewers who appreciated the fresh take on the Star Wars franchise.
