Cameras are still rolling on Star Wars: The Acolyte, the upcoming Disney+ series that will explore The High Republic era in live-action for the first time.

Set roughly 100 years before the events of The Phantom Menace, there's a lot of intrigue surrounding the series, and a listing on intimacy coordinator Adelaide Waldrop online CV may have revealed how many episodes we can expect. As noted by StarWarsNews.net, it sounds like we should gear up for a total of 8 episodes when the show launches next year.

That lines up with The Mandalorian and that's obviously a couple of instalments more than Obi-Wan Kenobi (but four less than Andor). They're also all listed as 60-minute episodes, but we're not putting too much stock into that for the time being.

In related news, there are rumblings online - courtesy of a lawsuit producer Karyn McCarthy filed against Lucasfilm after being ousted from The Acolyte - that the series will be getting multiple seasons.

Unfortunately, we don't know how many it could eventually consist of, but this suggests there are ambitious plans in place for the prequel to the prequels. In recent years, Disney has invested a lot into The High Republic era in publishing, and this series will mark the first time we get to explore that in live-action.

With Star Wars Celebration just weeks away, we anticipate learning more about the show then.

Star Wars: The Acolyte has been described as, "a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era. A former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated."

The cast of the series includes Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, Carrie-Ann Moss, Manny Jacinto, Dafne Keen, Jodie Turner-Smith, Rebecca Henderson, Charlie Barnett, and Dean-Charles Chapman.

The Acolyte will stream exclusively on Disney+, though a premiere date has yet to be revealed.
