I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
Disney may not be publicly commenting on why The Acolyte was cancelled, but we have internal information all the same, it seems. All this Acolyte info is coming fromNow, we have further information on the cancellation of the show from him, though I’m not entirely sure a lot of this couldn’t be deduced from existing information.
Above all else this was the reason it died, and it is unclear how the show, wholly disconnected from the Skywalkers and that entire era, was supposed to hit viewership metrics to justify a budget like that. Andor reportedly cost $250 million and was also not well-watched, but it had a second season because that was negotiated up front.
I am really not shocked at anything here. I have said that while extremely irritating, the Acolyte-haters club did not get the show cancelled, and it was always cost vs. viewership. But with that high a cost and a concept that was never going to drive anything like the viewership it needed, all of this is squarely on Disney. And while I’ve said it’s not impossible Disney changes its mind, I think this info is leaking to show why they’re not going to.
