20 Most Anticipated TV Shows Of 2024
11. The Acolyte
Disney's new Star Wars series will take place at the tail-end of the High Republic era - approximately 100 years before The Phantom Menace - and focus on a former Padawan (Amandla Stenberg) reuniting with her former Jedi Master (Lee Jung-jae) to investigate a series of crimes.
Though small-screen Star Wars has proven wildly inconsistent as of late - running the gamut from the mediocre The Book of Boba Fett to the all-timer Andor - the fact that Russian Doll co-creator Leslye Headland is leading the charge certainly makes this one worth paying attention to.
Easy though it is to feel fatigued by the avalanche of content in a galaxy far, far away, the potential here speaks for itself, especially with Dafne Keen, Jodie Turner-Smith, Dean-Charles Chapman, and Carrie-Anne Moss rounding out the cast.
The Acolyte will premiere sometime in 2024.
