The Acolyte Season Finale Scores Lowest Star Wars Ratings

With its last episode, Episode 8, The Acolyte scores the lowest ratings for a Star Wars season finale on Disney+.

Also, finally after four episodes, The Acolyte makes the Nielsen charts but it’s at the bottom of the barrel at the number ten spot.

A Season 2 announcement didn’t come at the recent D23 Expo. At a cost around $200 million, it’s doubted a second season will be happening.

Update: Season 2 is not happening and the series has officially been canceled.

Nielsen Ratings July 15 – July 21, 2024

The Nielsen ratings for the week the season finale was released, July 15 – July 21 reveal The Acolyte came in at #10 with 335 minutes (millions).

Previous weeks were under that number, so we see it got a slight jump as likely more people binged some episodes along with the season finale.

However, again, The Acolyte is the lowest season finale for a Star Wars show on Disney+, so that’s not really saying much.

Comparing the numbers to the other Star Wars season finales on Disney+, we also see it’s the lowest by a pretty large margin:

Thanks to a Redditor, we also have some charts, which shows how badly The Acolyte has performed compared to the other Star Wars shows:
