Some Promising News About ‘The Acolyte’ Season 2

From the showrunner herself, we have some updates about season 2 of The Acolyte after this week's thrilling episode.

In a new interview with EW, showrunner Leslye Headland talks about season 2, though what that means for the storyline of season 1, if it does happen. It’s interesting to see her philosophy which she says echoes another famous show:
“I think you should put everything you can into the first season and give the audience a nice resolution that feels satisfying, but enough nods to mysteries that you would want to see a second season.”

“I remember reading that Vince Gilligan in writing and doing the first season of Breaking Bad really didn't plan on, “We're getting seven more seasons, and this is what's going to happen to Walter White.” It was much more, “Here's everything we got. We're throwing everything at the wall.” And then with the pickup, he mapped out, “Okay, here's what's going to happen over the course of however many seasons.”

She goes on to talk about a few things that season 2 would contain, in vague terms:
  • There are “four to five major mysteries and plot points” that season 2 would contain.
  • She talks about how character development needs to hit certain points in second, third or fourth seasons, though none of this has been worked out already.
  • She talks about Cortosis, the metal that can deflect and short out lightsabers, which she says is a “finite resource” which is why we don’t see it carry into the future of the universe, and we would learn more about it in a season 2.
  • She says we will not learn too much of Qimir’s backstory this season, but says that we will understand that he wants freedom on a “second level” which would be explored in season 2, beyond just the fact that he wants to wield his power however he wants.
then they throw this in as the last line
"While The Acolyte has sparked a lot of hate from a contingent of Star Wars fans who believe it’s “too woke” and has broken canon (there is no evidence of this), it has amassed many fans who would be excited to see a season 2. I have been unsure of its trajectory before this, but the last episode convinced me I want to see more. Mainly more of Qimir. A lot more of him, he rules."
