The Acolyte season 2 hasn't been confirmed by Star Wars just yet, but fans are campaigning hard for more.
The finale recently hit Disney Plus, and it saw Osha join Qimir after killing Sol, Mae have her memory wiped, and cameos from both Darth Plagueis and Grand Master Yoda.
Naturally, then, it seems there's still plenty of story left to tell, and showrunner Leslye Headland has already spoken about having ideas for the future. So, Star Wars fans have taken to Twitter with the hashtag #RenewTheAcolyte to try and get the show brought back for another season.
"Season 1 ended on a cliffhanger so it would only be right to continue the story with a season 2, right?" asks one fan. "I genuinely want more live action High Republic content as I love this era. #RenewTheAcolyte"

"I absolutely LOVED this show. The plot, characters, fight scenes. It wasn't perfect and flawless, but it was great. I definitely need another season #TheAcolyte #RenewTheAcolyte" is another fan's verdict.
"The Acolyte was without a doubt some of my favorite Star Wars in recent years. A show that was as narratively interesting / intriguing as it was thematically profound," reflects someone else. "Leslye Headland crafted a series that’s absolutely essential to view, and one that perfectly leads into the Prequel Trilogy. I loved it so much, and desperately want a second season! #RenewTheAcolyte"
