In an intense battle among streaming services, Disney and Lucasfilm showcased various Star Wars productions on Disney+, including The Acolyte, which was axed before a second season. Despite sparking debates among fans, Forbes revealed that Disney spent around $231 million on the series, with some costs excluded. Filmed in the UK, Disney managed to recoup about $44 million, leading to a total spend of approximately $187 million. The cancellation of The Acolyte was due to failing Disney’s viewership metrics, although the ending hinted at a possible return for future seasons.
