The run of The Acolyte did not go far from season one after Lucasfilm announced the cancellation of the show after season one.

Season one came to an end with a finale last month that divided critics and audiences, according to Deadline.

On the one hand, the reviewers wrote glowing reviews for the Leslye Headland-helmed show, but on the other, fans slammed the series for being ‘woke’ as the show opted for an inclusive casting leading to some review-bombed it.

Responding to the hate, the creator said, “Honestly, I feel sad that people would think that if something were gay, that would be bad.”

Leslye continued, “It makes me feel sad that a bunch of people on the Internet would somehow dismantle what I consider to be the most important piece of art that I’ve ever made.”

The Acolyte season one meanwhile ended on a cliffhanger while setting out a path for many plotlines. However, the viewership nonetheless did not come to a bar to order a renewal.
