When Does Star Wars: The Acolyte Premiere on Disney+?
The Acolyte will make its two-episode premiere on Disney+ on Tuesday, June 4, 2024. The show will then shift to a one-episode-per-week schedule for its six remaining installments. As such, The Acolyte‘s full release schedule shakes out as follows:
- Tuesday, June 4, 2024 ā Episodes 1 and 2
- Tuesday, June 11, 2024 ā Episode 3
- Tuesday, June 18, 2024 ā Episode 4
- Tuesday, June 25, 2024 ā Episode 5
- Tuesday, July 2, 2024 ā Episode 6
- Tuesday, July 9, 2024 ā Episode 7
- Tuesday, July 16, 2024 ā Episode 8
It’s worth noting, however, that neither Lucasfilm nor Disney+ have officially confirmed the release dates for The Acolyte Episodes 3-8, other than their weekly scheduling. This means that one or more of these episodes could drop slightly earlier or later than listed above, although this is highly unlikely. There’s also a precedent for Star Wars shows arriving earlier than advertised ā remember Ahsoka Season 1’s bumped-up premiere? ā however, Disney+ has generally favored Tuesday slots for its live-action programming. We’ll update this section with any revised release date information as it becomes available.
