Created by Leslye Headland (Russian Doll), The Acolyte is described as a “mystery thriller” and promises to “take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era,” according to the official logline. “A former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but discovers the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated.”

“If Star Wars is about the underdog versus the institution, [in The Acolyte] the Jedi are the institution,” Headland tells StarWars.com.

“What went wrong?” posits Headland. “And if the bad guys are actually the underdog, it just seemed like a cool reversal.”

In addition to those named above, the cast also includes Rebecca Henderson (Inventing Anna) as Mirialan Jedi Vernestra Rwoh, Dafne Keen (His Dark Materials) as the half-Theelin/half-human Jedi Jecki, Jodie Turner-Smith (The Last Ship), Manny Jacinto (The Good Place), Charlie Barnett (Russian Doll) and Dean-Charles Chapman (Game of Thrones).
