Watch the thrilling preview now and find out new details on the mystery-thriller Disney+ series.

The Acolyte is set during the High Republic era and the prime of the Jedi Order. But trouble is brewing for the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy.

Following yesterday’s surprise debut of a haunting poster for The Acolyte, Lucasfilm has now released the official trailer for the upcoming Disney+ series. Watch it below!

The trailer opens with younglings in training, listening to the words of Lee Jung-jae’s Master Sol. “Close your eyes. Your eyes can deceive you,” he tells them. “We must not trust them.” It’s strikingly similar to what Obi-Wan Kenobi once famously told Luke Skywalker, and leads into a flurry of thrilling images: a crowded village, a cantina clash between Carrie-Anne Moss’ Master Indara and Amandla Stenberg's Mae, and finally, Jedi charging an unseen, red-bladed-lightsaber-throwing assailant.

In addition, Lucasfilm announced that The Acolyte will arrive Tuesday, June 4, with a two-episode premiere on Disney+, and revealed the official key art for the series, featuring a hooded figure on a rocky landscape, as the sun sets in the distance. You can see it below, along with a poster released yesterday — which depicts a lightsaber on the ground, blood smeared ominously above.

The Acolyte Teaser Poster


In The Acolyte, an investigation into a shocking crime spree pits a respected Jedi Master (Lee Jung-jae) against a dangerous warrior from his past (Amandla Stenberg). As more clues emerge, they travel down a dark path where sinister forces reveal all is not what it seems….

The series stars Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, Manny Jacinto, Dafne Keen, Charlie Barnett, Jodie Turner-Smith, Rebecca Henderson, Dean-Charles Chapman, Joonas Suotamo, and Carrie-Anne Moss.

The Acolyte comes from creator and showrunner Leslye Headland (Russian Doll), who also serves as executive producer alongside Kathleen Kennedy, Simon Emanuel, Jeff F. King, and Jason Micallef. Charmaine DeGraté and Kor Adana are the co-executive producers; Rayne Roberts, Damian Anderson, Eileen Shim, and Rob Bredow are producing.

Headland also directed the premiere episodes (episodes 101 and 102). Directors Kogonada (episodes 103 and 107), Alex Garcia Lopez (episodes 104 and 105), and Hanelle Culpepper (episodes 106 and 108) round out the directing duties on the series. Michael Abels, known for his work on Get Out and Us, scored The Acolyte.

For more on The Acolyte, read StarWars.com's new interview with Leslye Headland, meet the series’ characters in the StarWars.com Databank, read the cast announcement, and explore Star Wars: The High Republic in the official hub.

Let the investigation — and countdown to June 4 — begin!
