The full cast of The Acolyte, an upcoming Star Wars series for Disney+, has revealed its full cast!
Joining the previously announced Amandla Stenberg (The Hate U Give) and Emmy Award-winner Lee Jung-jae (Squid Game) are Manny Jacinto (Nine Perfect Strangers), Dafne Keen (His Dark Materials), Jodie Turner-Smith (Queen & Slim), Rebecca Henderson (Inventing Anna), Charlie Barnett (Russian Doll), Dean-Charles Chapman (1917), and Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix).
Stenberg, who has long been attached as the lead protagonist, shared the first look of her on set with Jung-jae and Headland on Instagram.
The Acolyte is a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era. A former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated. The High Republic saw the Jedi Order at its prime, centuries prior to the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
The series is also inspired by martial arts and will not feature legacy characters.
The spinoff series hails from creator, showrunner and executive producer Leslye Headland (Russian Doll) and has begun production in the UK. Headland will also direct the series pilot.
Don’t judge a book by its cover, for behind all this makeup, is a geek just like you. To simply put it, superheroes, Star Wars, Harry Potter and all things gore and creepy makes this girly girl swoon.
