Charlie Barnett as Yord Fandar in The Acolyte
The Big Picture The Force is strong with The Acolyte, which has now become the most watched launch of a Disney+ show for 2024. Disney has officially announced that the two-episode series premiere of The Acolyte attracted 4.8 million views within 24 hours, thus beating out other 2024 premieres like X-Men '97 by a good margin.
As Star Wars continues to explore new ways of adding a fresh coat of paint to the established sci-fi formula, The Acolyte is really hitting the streaming platform at a perfect time. For the first time ever in live-action, The Acolyte explores an era of Star Wars that takes place long before the prequel trilogy, instead focusing on the era of peace and prosperity that the Jedi enjoyed after allegedly eradicating the Sith.
What Else Can We Expect from Disney+ in 2024? Close The Acolyte's successful premiere leads a somewhat quiet month for the Disney+ platform, but that doesn't mean the streamer doesn't have some other projects in store that could possibly outdo the Star Wars show's current viewership record. As for more Star Wars content alone, another live-action series will hopefully be releasing in 2024, that being Jon Watt's Skeleton Crew.
Switching gears to Marvel, the long-awaited WandaVision spin-off Agatha All Along will be enchanting its way onto Disney+. The new series follows Kathryn Hahn's troublesome witch as she reunites with her old coven, though whether she'll stay a sadistic foe or become a more approachable magic-user remains to be seen. Agatha All Along is currently slated to premiere later this September.
