Disney Cancels 'The Acolyte' Despite Being Its Second Most-Watched Show of 2024

The Star Wars series garnered 2.7 billion minutes of viewing time but was deemed too costly to continue.

New data from Luminate revealed that 'The Acolyte' was the second most-viewed Disney+ series in 2024, with 2.7 billion minutes watched.
The show was canceled shortly after its first season, with Disney citing high production costs and insufficient performance relative to its budget as the reasons.
Fans and cast members expressed disappointment, with some holding out hope for a potential revival in the future.
The series received polarized reactions, with some praising its unique timeline and characters, while others criticized it for perceived 'woke' themes and deviations from Star Wars lore.
Despite its cancellation, 'The Acolyte' outperformed all Marvel shows on Disney+ in 2024 and trailed only 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' in viewership.
