The Acolyte cast: Who’s in the new Disney+ Star Wars series?

It seems Disney has decided to go full force with their newest series in development, The Acolyte. We all know that the Star Wars franchise has a plethora of content and history that has only expanded the universe even further than what it was last year. And it is showing no signs of slowing down.

The Acolyte is said to take place a century before the events of The Phantom Menace. That seems like the best laid plans for the series because it’s about time fans got a prequel to the prequels.

The series is set to be about a Padawan learner who reunites with her Jedi Master as the two investigate a series of crimes that have been committed. Moreover, it will take its viewers into a number of shadowy secrets of emerging powers in the dark side in the final days of the High Republic, all according to the Deadline report.

If that didn’t sound captivating enough, the plot just leads to more questions about the players of the series. Who is set to star in the series and what role will they play? Here’s a quick list of the cast.
