Star Wars: The Acolyte has officially entered production – and some major names have been added to its impressive ensemble cast.
Revealed in a press release, Lucasfilm confirmed that the next big Star Wars TV show has started filming. The Disney subsidiary also confirmed which actors were joining lead star Amandla Stenberg (Bodies Bodies Bodies), who joined the project in December 2021.
Of the household names joining The Acolyte's cast, Lee Jung-Jae (Squid Game season 2), Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix Resurrections), and Dafne Keen (His Dark Materials) are the most notable. Jung-Jae was snapped listening to showrunner Leslye Headland alongside Stenberg in the first behind-the-scenes image from the show's production, which you can view above (and in the tweet below):
