Star Wars might be setting the stage for a big announcement about The Acolyte season 2 at the upcoming D23 2024 convention. Lucasfilm has outlined its plans for D23, teasing ‘exclusive new content’ expected to be shown. So far, attention has been on Skeleton Crew, another Star Wars series lined up for a December release. But a fresh tease suggests we might get news on another series too.

A social media post from Star Wars hints at something more coming from one of Lucasfilm’s panels featuring Manny Jacinto, who played the Stranger in The Acolyte. The post mentions he will reflect on the show’s first season. This seems like a little hint but could mean a lot. Disney is known for its careful choice of words, and saying ‘first season’ might imply there’s another one on the way.

While there’s no official word yet, these hints suggest we’re close to getting a confirmation for The Acolyte season 2 at D23. This isn’t just speculation; the official announcement also referred to this session as a look back at the first season. Considering how popular The Acolyte has been, and hints from Leslye Headland about a second season, it feels like we’re getting closer to an announcement.

Manny Jacinto’s presence at the panel isn’t just for show. His character, the Stranger, was a hit with us fans, and having him there might mean he’s set to break some big news. Possibly, he could be announcing The Acolyte season 2 himself.

The potential for The Acolyte to continue is exciting. The first season ended in a way that left doors open for more stories. We saw Darth Plagueis make a cameo, Vernestra Rwoh’s conspiracy unfold, and Osha choose to follow the Stranger. With all these unresolved elements, it would be a letdown not to explore them in a new season.

So, as we gear up for D23, the signs are looking good for The Acolyte. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best. Maybe Manny Jacinto will give us the news we’re hoping for!
