Cancelled no more: Disney+ announces 4 more seasons of The Acolyte

"We had no idea more than one person ever even watched the show." BR'ER BANK, CA -- After a massive letter-writing campaign from fans, Disney+ has reversed its decision to cancel its controversial Star Wars series The Acolyte. Seasons 2, 3, 4 and 5 will begin production soon. The show, which is set in the Star Wars universe, we think, and is... about an acolyte or something (we didn't watch it), was initially canceled after one season of bad reviews and low ratings. ...

14 unusual Covid protocols in effect at Disney parks
