The Acolyte charmed audiences in its debut, garnering the highest viewership for any Disney+ show in 2024, with a staggering 4.8 million viewers within 24 hours. This success reflects the charming mystery and intriguing premise of the series, set in a peaceful era of the Star Wars universe that harbors a sinister secret.
The Acolyte focuses on Amandla Stenberg’s character, Mae, an mystery acolyte who, alongside her master, targets prominent Jedi throughout the galaxy. The series has resonated with critics and audiences alike, despite receiving some unfortunate review bombing.
