Don’t miss the first episode of The Acolyte on free TV before it debuts on Disney+
In a move that will shake up the universe of Star Wars fans, Cuatro is preparing to open the first episode of Acolyte. Scheduled to premiere on Disney+, the premiere promises to offer a completely new and dark take on the galactic saga that has captivated generations.
It’s no coincidence that Mediaset decided to make this episode transparent. After previous collaborations with Disney, as happened with The Mandalorian, this brand strengthens an alliance that will benefit Spanish audiences. Beyond the simple broadcast, this event is emerging as a source of excitement and curiosity that will undoubtedly attract the attention of not only die-hard Star Wars fans, but also new viewers looking for fresh and exciting content.
A look at the dark side
Created exclusively for Disney+, the Acolyte has entered a little-explored era in the Star Wars Chronicles. The series unveils the veil of mystery with a story that revolves around investigating some baffling crimes. Squid Game star Lee Jung-ja and Amandla Stenberg, best known for her role in The Hunger Games, play the main characters in this galactic thriller, whose lives are intricately intertwined with each revelation.
As the Jedi Master, masterfully played by Jung-jae, faces challenges that test his integrity and understanding of power, his antagonist, played by Stenberg, is an enigmatic presence that brings a wonderful complexity to the plot. As the episodes unfold, they both discover that true threats often lurk in the most unexpected places, revealing the underbelly of corruption that spreads even within the supposedly incorruptible Jedi Order.
In addition to the aforementioned Jung-Ja and Stenberg, the cast of The Acolyte is rounded out by talents such as Manny Jacinto, best known for his role in The Good Place, and Queen & Slim’s Jodie Turner Smith. This mix of new and familiar faces promises to take the Star Wars story to new heights, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats with unexpected twists.
More surprises in Cuatro
The fun doesn’t end with The Acolyte. Cuatro has announced the broadcast of The Rise of Skywalker, the latest installment in the Skywalker saga directed by JJ Abrams. Marking the end of an era, this film will be released at a later date, allowing fans to enjoy the finale to the trilogy from the comfort of their homes.
Acolyte is not only revolutionary for the narrative approach, but also for the choice of settings. The series delves into previously unknown corners of the galaxy and explores planets and space stations that operate outside the laws of the galaxy. This background not only enriches the plot, but also adds mystery and danger that enhances the dark tone of the series. These locations serve as the perfect reflection of the themes of corruption and decay explored throughout the episodes, providing a visually stunning and narratively coherent setting that keeps the audience fully engaged.
With this calendar of releases and events, Cuatro consolidates itself as a reference site for film and series lovers, as well as consolidating its position as a bridge between the greats of Hollywood and Spanish houses.
