Star Wars: The Acolyte has been canceled after one season

What just happened? In what must be the least surprising news of the year so far, Disney+ has canceled its latest Star Wars series, The Acolyte, after just one season. The show's critic score on Rotten Tomatoes is a respectable 78%, but viewers tended to hate the series, hence its average audience score of 18%. Viewing figures have fallen since its debut, resulting in what is believed to be the least-viewed Star Wars finale ever.
