The AcolytestarManny Jacintohas revealedhis hopes for a second season, with the actor responding positively to fan suggestions and “shipping” his character Qimir with Amandla Stenberg’s Osha. Jacinto’s role in theStar Warsseries proved toone of the biggest mysteries, with Qimir revealed to be a Sith master. Speaking withGQ, Jacinto said he has seen “fan art” depicting “something” going on between Osha and the Sith Stranger, and its certainly an element he would love to explore in a future series.
“In the fan art I’ve seen, there’s a good amount that implies… something between Osha and the Stranger. That’s something that people, I think, have been yearning for in this genre, or at least in this IP, and I love that people are honing in on it and encouraging it. So I think people can look forward to more of that, possibly. If people want it, we can explore that in a subsequent season.”
The Acolyte Fan Reactions Claim the Force Is Strong with This One
Fans have responded strongly to the Acolyte season finale and hopes for a season two renewal have spiked following the epic finale episode.
As well as teasing whatThe Acolyteseason 2 could involve (if the show is renewed), the actor also heaped praise oncreator and showrunner Leslye Headlandfor enabling him to do something he had never done before as an actor: just be himself.
“We were in Madeira doing episode six. Leslye came into my tent and she was pacing. She was like, ‘Manny, I just want you.’ I was like, ‘What do you mean?’ And she said, ‘I just want you to be you. You don’t need to do the smirk, or the twitches, or any of the actorly stuff. I just want you to be you in this moment.’
It hit me pretty hard,” he says, “because I wasn’t able to ever do that before. I was never given the permission to just be myself. And it was so freeing.”
