The story of The Acolyte will not continue, with Lucasfilm opting not to proceed with a second season of the Star Wars offshoot starring Amandla Stenberg, sources tell Deadline.

Word of the decision comes more than a month after the eight-episode first season of the series, from creator, director, executive producer and showrunner Lesley Headland, wrapped its run on Disney+.

The news is not entirely surprising. The Acolyte did OK with critics (78% on Rotten Tomatoes) but divided Star Wars fans, which was reflected in its overall viewership.
