The Acolyte Set Photo: Disney+ Confirms Cast for Star Wars Series

As production continues on The Acolyte, Lucasfilm has finally confirmed the full cast members of its upcoming Star Wars series, which will be led by Amandla Stenberg and Lee Jung-jae.

It has been revealed that Dafne Keen (His Dark Materials), Rebecca Henderson (Inventing Anna), Dean-Charles Chapman (1917), and Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix) have officially joined the Star Wars project along with previously announced cast members Manny Jacinto, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Charlie Barnett.

In addition, the first official behind-the-scenes photo from the U.K. set of the Disney+ show has also been revealed. In The Acolyte set photo, Stenberg and Lee can be seen receiving directions from showrunner Leslye Headland, who has been developing the series since 2020.

The Acolyte is described as a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers that will be set within the final days of the High Republic era. Further details about its characters haven’t been revealed yet, but the project title references a Sith in the beginning stages of their training under an experienced Sith Lord.

The Disney+ series is being written and executive produced by Leslye Headland (Russian Doll), who will also be serving as the showrunner. Joining Stenberg and Lee are Jodie Turner-Smith, Manny Jacinto, and Charlie Barnett.
