Will there be a season 2 of Star Wars: The Acolyte?
A second season of Star Wars: The Acolyte has not been confirmed, although creator Leslye Headland told IGN that there was “absolutely room” for the series to continue. “I’m just the kind of person where I want to make sure that a season feels like a legitimately complete story, and I definitely add a lot of things like, ‘Here’s how this could go in this direction, this could going in that direction,’” Headland said.
“I also don’t want to leave the audience emotionally hanging,” she continued. “I want to leave them hanging narratively, but emotionally, I want them to feel like they’ve watched a whole movie, and still have a bunch of questions at the end like, ‘Wait, Now that I’ve learned that this relationship exists, ‘What’s going to happen with these people, and now that this person has this type of power, what are we going to do about it?'”
