When Lucasfilm and Disney+ first announced this project, they described it as “a mystery-thriller that will take the audience into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark side powers in the final days of the High Republic era.”

The Acolyte will take us a century before The Phantom Menace, and it centers on a respected Jedi master Sol (Lee Jung-jae), who must face a former Padawan Mae (Amandla Stenberg), a dangerous warrior from his past. They travel down a dark path, facing forces much more sinister than they ever anticipated.

In addition to Amandla Stenberg (The Hate U Give) and Lee Jung-jae (Squid Game) in the lead roles, this Disney+ series will also star Manny Jacinto (The Good Place), Dafne Keen (Logan), Charlie Barnett (Russian Doll), Jodie Turner-Smith (Queen & Slim), Rebecca Henderson (Single Drunk Female), and Carrie-Anne Moss (Matrix).

The Acolyte was created for Disney+ by the Russian Doll co-creator Leslye Headland. The first two episodes of the eight-episode series will premiere on June 4.

They will be joined by a mix of up-and-coming and established stars including Awkwafina, Tina Fey, Whoopi Goldberg, Brie Larson, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Amandla Stenberg, Charlize Theron, Tessa Thompson, and Constance Wu. According to The Hollywood Reporter, this is just the beginning, and more presenters for 91st Academy Awards will be announced in the coming weeks.

“The Oscar nominees have generated tremendous worldwide attention through their captivating stories, achievements, and performances,” said Oscar 2019 producers Donna Gigliotti and Glenn Weiss. “We want to give the public an opportunity to once again experience the moments that have moved us all. It is a celebration of our universal love of movies.”

The 91st Academy Awards ceremony will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on February 24, 2019. After Kevin Hart dropped out as host, this year’s Oscars will most likely be without a host, which didn’t happen since 1989. Instead, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is reportedly looking into making the cast of Marvel’s Avengers as the main stars of the show.

The highly anticipated film, Where Hands Touch is the tale of two German teens who fall in love and face many obstacles along the way. Stenberg plays a young woman coming of age and struggling for survival in Nazi Germany. George MacKay portrays her love interest, who happens to be a member of the Hitler Youth.

Where Hands Touch is scheduled to be released on September 14, five days after its world premiere at Toronto International Film Festival.
